The Auto Erase Disc is a software disc used in Nintendo repair centers to wipe the NAND from a defective Wii and protect the customer's privacy.
In early 2022, a person named b3l0kk that works at a console repair center posted a picture of the Wii Auto Erase Disc to a site called TheGamesDB. When contacted about the disc, they willingly preserved it to Redump, a disc preservation project. They have 2 copies that they bought via eBay. Additionally, the Wii Auto Erase Disc was also leaked in the Zammis Clark Breach.
A Nintendo employee responded via email that they haven't received requests to obtain a Wii Auto Erase Disc since around 2012, and they recycled the unsold discs in around 2017. They also confirmed the Wii U doesn't have an auto erase disc.
Behavior
The disc retrieves data from the NAND to wipe. This includes downloaded channels, all save data, Miis, settings, etc.
