Select File -> New Nand ( ctrl + N )
select the destination for the new file in the "destination" field !make sure you have 528MiB of free space!
If you have an existing nand.bin from the Wii, you can select it by clicking the big "Existing Nand" button. This will fill in the rest of the necessary information.
If you dont have an existing dump to read from, you can enter the path of "keys.bin", the first 8 blocks of nand (including spare data), and the bad blocks using the rest of the dialog window. Bad blocks may be entered manually, or read from a plaintext file with 1 number on each line.

Opening an existing nand:
Enter a path of an existing nand.bin in the "nand.bin" field, or press the "search" button to browse for it on your PC. Once you have selected one, click "init nand" to tell the gui you are ready. IT IS NOT RECCOMMENDED TO USE THIS PROGRAM ON YOUR ONLY COPY OF A NAND. MAKE A COPY AND THAT.
Formatting:
You can simply write to a nand as it is, or you can format it with content -> format. this will wipe out any of the files within the filesystem including game saves, channels, IOS, etc. boot1&2, special blocks, and the supercluster generation are left alone
Downloading titles and installing them:
Before you do anything, set a path for the NUS cache. This is where the program will cache downloaded files for later use. This should be a location that has decent reading & writing speeds (dont use an SD card).
The upper fields accept a TID and/or version to download and install a specific title. Leave the version field empty to get the latest version.
It also accepts a string such as "3.2u", 4.3e", or "3.5k". This will attempt to get all of the titles that were in the given update. I have used wiimpersonator logs when available, and game update partitions where the wiimpersonator logs were missing. There are some discrepancies as to which titles should be in a given update based on update partitions, but I believe I've gotten it pretty close.
Press the "get it" button.
When all teh titles are done downloading, it will ceck for a setting.txt. If there is a system menu, but no setting.txt, it will prompt to create one.
