There’s a  bit of code in the normal Wii’s System Menu — see BS2 states 9/10 — where it checks for a disc with the special ID ‘RAAE’. If it finds it, it refuses to load the disc — but by all other indications, this would be a valid Wii disc. This was the ID associated with the “Startup Disc”, and this check was placed in the final system menu to keep anyone from trying to use that disc a second time.
