The Ultimate Guide to Wii NAND Archives: Preservation, Emulation, and System Restoration

Dolphin

Emulators like can load raw NAND dumps, allowing users to boot the exact Wii System Menu on a PC. This includes all installed channels, save files, and Miis. Some preservation projects aim to archive every retail Wii’s NAND to study regional differences, system menu versions, and pre-installed demo units (e.g., in-store kiosk Wiis).

1. Install the Homebrew Channel on your Wii (using an exploit like LetterBomb or str2hax).
2. Install BootMii – ideally as “boot2” on older consoles, otherwise as an IOS.
3. Run BootMii and choose the NAND backup/restore option.
