corrupted save!

I would not mess with IOS.  Your Wii still works and presumably your other games can still load saves and such.  If you do the wrong thing with IOS, you'll brick your Wii.

Seriously.  Go to EFNet, join #wiidev, and share your story.  Those folks might be able to help you.

You don't even need to install IRC, just go here to use EFNet's webchat.
