Correction: You don't need SEEPROM, but you will want to backup OTP. Sorry about that! Also if you are having issues remove your disc and uninstall Tiramisu!

OMG; I've been trying to remember how to do this fix. I was just scrolling on your channel, this is huge!

Wish I found this vid before system formatting lol. Had some trouble getting it to update because of Tiramisu even when off it was being wonky. I turned off the console from the screen saying "press any button to go to system settings" in decaffeinate and rebooted, went to system settings and worked great! Awesome vid.

I was freaked out when i got up to 5:59 but i couldn't get to rhe update screen and i kept getting an error. However weirdly enough I removed my disc and it WORKED 😂

I press A on the Virtual Wii and it just gets stuck there black after that

[TheBubbyBubs]

Note that if you have a wii disc inserted into the console after doing the environment loader, it won't boot at all and come up with error code 160-0101.

I downloaded the vWii NAND Restorer, but I cannot find the application. Is it because i'm using Aroma?

[Tobythefox]

Thank you very much I was looking for this for months

[AhmedZ]

Can you make a tutorial on how to get the dark theme on vWii because that looks cool and for the Wii U, too?

[mahionyt]

worked like a charm thank you so much dude!

[dstiny]

Hey man! I’m on Aroma. I don’t get anything in my settings menu. It just says system is up to date. I’ve created update folder and even tried to disable pretendo folder. Please help. Thank you so much!
