Making Wii a Virgin

To get rid of all Homebrew on my Wii, rather than using AnyTitleDeleter and all of those other programs, can I just format its memory? Obviously, I'll lose everything, but no one seems to mention doing this, so I wasn't sure if it would work.

as far as I know, that would leave the tickets. can someone conform this?

This question gets asked alot. (and people seem to be panicking)

Look here: [forum.wiibrew.org]

I formatted my wii and I can confirm that it did remove all traces of homebrew on it.

Doesn't it leave a ticket behind, even after formatting?

Exactly. That is why I asked him.

Exactly.

However, it can be deleted with anytitle deleter.

Really? Where would one get that if they decided to do so? (Not that I plan on doing this, but just in case worst comes to worst or something like that).

Formatting is not a good idea if you have Preloader installed. You will want to reinstall your firmware first if you do.
