The Movie-Ch Install Disc (Ver A- unknown if other versions exist) is a disc used in Nintendo repair centers in order to install the Wii + Internet channel on Wiis being repaired which previously did not have the Channel .installed.

  • Disc Internal Name: MovieCH Import Disc
  • Disc TID: 091(E01)
  • Disc IOS: 9
  • Disc Release Date: Unknown, 2008-9 presumed
  • Disc Build Date: Likely mid-2008
  • Disc Apploader: Feb 2007 Apploader
  • GmaeTDB Page

The disc was originally discovered through the image which revealed the DiscUpdate Disc, and was soon revealed to be for sale on GameDealDaily. It was purchased by several Dump users; eventually, Billy managed to resurface the disc (all copies came scratched to the extent that only about 50% of the disc was readable) and got a full, clean 1:1 dump of the disc.

The disc contains a mysteriously corrupted update partition, but a clean data partition containing the usual Wii disc files (apploader, FST, main.dol, etc.) and a files/ folder containing a viewer/ folder containing the WAD that the disc's main.dol installs.

The disc checks the free NAND capacity and NAND integrity, then installs the HCGE.wad file in files/viewer to the NAND; if installation is successful, it then launches the installed title.
