The Wii had a register that is set to prevent boot0 from being read after boot. However, Nintendo forgot to make that register impossible to reset without rebooting, so fail0verflow just reset that register to dump their boot0. Nintendo did not fix this in the vWii, so boot0 could still be dumped. Furthermore, the boot0 dumped was not the [[cafe2wii]], but instead the Wii U's boot0!
