I want to erase the data and start off new, but the format option in the Wii menu doesn't work. It just stays on the "Formatting Wii" screen indefinitely. How would I be able to format it?

delete the User Folder? Big Grin
but make a backup (all saves are in there)

User\Wii\title
are all saves stored...
so deleting all other folder should clear the wii

Well, then the menu wouldn't work. =/

I just want the channels, saves, ect. Gone. I still want the system menu to work.

last time i tried, deleting saves/channels from the system menu itself works.
you could also clear user/wii/title/* except for user/wii/title/00000001/00000002
it should be needless to say, but don't try to use the resulting nand filesystem on a real wii

Worked perfect! Thanks!

Although I still have the problem of not being able to use games installed to the system menu. It says "This channel cannot be used."

yes, that does not work (with a few exceptions). If you had asked about that / mentioned that as the reason behind formatting you may have gotten the answer sooner.
run wads directly, or choose the tmd for a game to launch it (User/Wii/Title/<titleidHI>/<titleidLOW>/content/title.tmd)
choosing the tmd is not the friendliest way, but if you don't have the wad it is the only way.
also for frequently played games you could create a shortcut to fullpathtodolphin/dolphin.exe /e /fullpathtotmdfile/title.tmd

Ok, thanks!

It wasn't my reason for formatting though.
