Formerly a barren frontier, the Nintendo Wii homebrew scene is now teeming with life from Pong to Team Wiikey's firmware update 1.9s. After the success of the Wii Duplicated Channel Remover, coder waninkoko presents us with Wii NAND Dumper version 1.

What is a NAND dump in the first place? It is a physical back-up of the files inside your Wii. Now, before anything else, waninkoko requires the following before you can use the homebrew application: (1) an SD Gecko and (2) and a way to load homebrew.

Secured those two pre-requisites? Follow waninkoko's step-by-step instructions below on how to run Wii NAND Dumper version 1:

1. Insert the SD Gecko in Slot A.
2. Insert a SD card with at least 512 MB of free space.
3. Run the application and wait until it finishes.

One last note: waninkoko mentions that the dumped NAND is encrypted. You will need the console's NAND key to unlock it but waninkoko is not going there anymore. Be sure you know what you are doing before proceeding with anything.
