I got a Wii that was semi bricked. The lady said it wouldn't turn on anymore after doing something with Animal Crossing:City Folk. I got my hands on the Nintendo Wii Backup Disc 1.31.
-booted into the config menu, tried "delete all" to restore factory settings... just hung on that menu. forced shut down. went back in and tried clicking "restore all", wouldn't work.. tried "delete all" again, hung and had to force shut down. rebooted wii and magically, it booted into system menu... wii seemed to be ok.
-went into data management, no game saves present, freezes, have to force shutdown. can't do or click anything on data management screen.
-loaded Animal Crossing game and it tells me that game save is corrupt, do i want to start a new town , i click yes and it just hangs on trying to delete old game save.
-load anytitledeleterDB - spot the RUUE file with the (no name) beside it, try and delete the file, just freezes(hangs) and have to force shut down.
-tried waninkoko's savegame installer/extractor - i can extract the file to the .dat file along with a filelist.dat file but i can't install the file. even tried to download a RVFOREST.DAT file and replace and install, but it just freezes when trying to install it.
-tried resintalling system menu's, IOS38 for the game.
-anytitledeleter shows about 10 game saves or so that are present on the system, but none of those show on the Wii Data management screen
-I can play any new games, save them fine, reload the game and play from saved spot, but they still don't show on data management screen which freezes when i load it.
I'm all out of idea's and it's frustrating. is there a third party memory format tool?
Any idea's whatsoever that i haven't tried would be greatly appreciated.
The lady says she only wants the wii for animal crossing

If so try reloading the backup to the NAND.
No. I made a backup of the NAND after I got the system back up and running.
What if I load a backup of my NAND onto her Wii? Will that wreck it? If it does, couldn't I just reload her copy of the nand back on!?
Took a nand.bin from my Wii and put keys.bin from the wii with the issues. used Bootmii-KEYFIX to patch the nand... currently restoring the Nand as i type this... hope all goes well. lol
It wasn't able to flash the Nand anyways. it just bricked it. I restored the original nand onto the system and it booted up, but still with the corrupted memory section where animal crossing data was saved.
so i formatted the nand with a settings.txt file with the wii's serial number and region data set correctly.
booted up the system afterward and everything was back to factory and working great.
