/shared2 is a directory accessible to all Broadway titles. It resembles a root directory for these titles.

The NAND SDK library seems to deny access to /shared2 through the main NANDOpen, although a separate function (NANDPrivateOpen) exists without this restriction, and due to the lack of memory protection in Revolution OS, NANDPrivateOpen can be freely called.

A quick (and incomplete) overview of the containing folders:

  • /menu/FaceLib/RFL_DB.dat - this is the database-file where Mii's are stored
  • /sys/net/dhcp.dat - This file contains IP-addresses used by the Wii when connecting to the internet
  • /sys/NANDBOOTINFO - This file keeps state about what title was most recently launched by the System Menu.
  • /expired - contains something like a PlayTime-limit? (Reference: OSPlayTime.c - PlayTime: %d seconds left [found in mariokart-channel])
  • /test2/dvderror.dat - This file keeps track of disc drive errors
  • /test2/nanderr.log - This file presumably keeps track of NAND errors
  • /ec - State kept by the Wii Store (EC = "Electronic Commerce", probably)
  • /succession - contains shop.log and transfer.id, both presumably have something to do with the shop channel.
  • /menu - Public state managed by the system menu
