'''''The Wii Startup Menu'''''  was a System Install Menu (Stub System Menu) used for Wii in kiosk demos. It came with a disc containing a system update for the Nintendo Wii console, seemingly intended to be shipped with the first released Wii units. While there exist large amounts of evidence for its existence, the physical disc has not been found, nor has a rip of it been found. However, a NAND dump of a console with the startup disc message has been found due to some early Wii's shipping with it accidentally.  It aparently only run discs with a RAAE  Id in its first 4bytes, (it seens to be possible to install a regular system menu on the nand by using custom homebrew designed for IOS4V3 and a modified NTSC Semi-Brick Fix Disc with the RAAE Id)

All Credits Go To Hackmii for the dumping and testing of the nand.

This disc contained a system update for the console, seemingly originally intended to be shipped with retail launch Wii units.

However, as some early Wiis shipped with the Startup Menu but no Startup Disc, a NAND dump of the menu has been recovered.
