Emulator

Game Name?

Wii System Menu 4.3U

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

Formatting the console does not generate a new friend code. Instead, it gets replaced by 0000-0000-0000-0000

What I expected to happen

The console should generate a new Friend code just as a real Wii console.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Make a NAND dump from a real Wii console. Then use Tools > Import BootMii NAND Backup. Now load the Wii system menu. Check on the Wii board the friend code, it should be the same as the real console. Now go to the system settings and format the console. When it shuts down, open again and go through the first setup wizard. Go to the Wii board and check the friend code. It will now be 0000-0000-0000-0000 instead of having generated a new one.

Yes, downgrading to 5.0 and formatting again didn't generate a new friend code either.

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

Logs don't seem to show anything relevant to this, but I can provide them if it becomes a need.
I mentioned this issue on #dolphin-emu on freenode and some people think it could be caused by the KD Module and advised me to mention it on the issue.
