(Create page for this. It's definitely distinct from the main Photo Channel, but I can't read Japanese so I can't say exactly how it works. If title/00010002/48414141 is gone, it goes to the system update page for example...)

The Photo Channel 1.0 Restore Program is a Japan-exclusive channel that is used to reinstall Photo Channel 1.0 (for instance, if Photo Channel 1.1 was installed).

Emulation Information

Missing Game List Banner

Certain Wii apps and homebrew apps never create savefiles that are handled by the emulated Wii's internal savefile lists, so no banners are ever generated for them in Dolphin.

Problems

Cannot Perform Restoration

The circumstances needed to trigger the restoration cannot be met in Dolphin: If both 1.1 and 1.0 are installed, or if only 1.0 is installed, the app says "This Wii console is already able to use Photo Channel 1.0, (…)"

If 1.0 is uninstalled outright, the app will instead say "This Wii console cannot run Photo Channel 1.0. (…)"

Configuration

No configuration changes are known to affect compatibility for this channel.
