So I've been trying to dump the Nand on my Wii, mainly to see if I can't convince my WiiOS to boot, but also because I want to try out several of the WADs installed on my system and post results and screenies, etc etc.
I'm using WiiND for the dumping, and that seems to have gone well (although it was a lot quicker than I expected) but the instructions tell me that I need the keys from my Wii and I'm getting hung up there. The only homebrew program I can seem to find that will dump my Wii's keys for me is xyzzy, and it fails every time for some reason. I'd imagine this is because xyzzy downloads an IOS from Nintendo for the hack, and Nintendo has either removed that download or patched it one.
So I ask: is there any other way to dump the keys (most importantly, the NAND key) from my Wii? Am I perhaps using xyzzy in an incorrect fashion?
Thanks a bunch if anyone has any info.

Edit: Hmm. Seems my WiiND isn't actually producing a dump file. Not that I can find anyway. Something is clearly amiss here. The Wii isn't updated past 3.3, do you suppose there's something else breaking this process?
Further Edit: I'm about to be sad here, one of my Nand dumpers I found (I've been running down the list) is telling me it has an error reading the NAND, I assume it was blocked with a patch of some sort? Quite sad indeed if this is true, although I don't remember reading about it. Anyone who has succeeded in doing this: is there something else I need to have installed on my Wii to make the dumper(s) work?
