Betwiin is a versatile tool that allows you to convert NAND dumps from one Wii to be used on another.
Description
Betwiin is a tool for converting NAND images for Wii consoles. It allows you to transfer the unique parts of a NAND dump from one Wii to another by re-encrypting and re-HMAC-ing the data. However, there are some important limitations to keep in mind when using Betwiin:
- The version of boot1 on the NAND chip must match the original version that shipped with the Wii. This is non-negotiable.
- The version of boot2 must be equal to or higher than the version most recently installed on the Wii.
- Betwiin does not handle bad blocks, so if your target NAND chip has a bad block that affects an important file required for system startup, it's best to find a different donor dump to use.
Betwiin is a useful tool for transferring data between Wii consoles, but it's important to be aware of its limitations to ensure a successful conversion.
Requirements
To run Betwiin, you must have a Python interpreter and the OpenSSL library installed on your computer, along with the numpy and pycrypto modules. A computer is also required.
Instructions
To use Betwiin:
- Copy the input dump file to the "input/flash.bin" folder.
- Copy the input keys to the "input/" folder.
- Copy the output keys to the "output/" folder.
- Run the betwiin.py script and wait several minutes.
- Retrieve the output file from the "output/flash.bin" folder and use it as needed.
