Hi everyone!

After heaps of work and many fixes, I now present to you all...

cIOSCORP v3.2!

Here's the big long README (be sure to read it all!)

Code:
It finally exists!

We, da_letter_a & damysteryman, now present to you all:

cIOSCORP v3.2!

What is it?
It's a software modification for your Nintendo Wii to allow you to
play almost all of your backup burnt Wii and GameCube games via the
disc channel without opening your console or having to use a loader
application.

What's in it:
IOS09 -> IOS15ÂÂÂÂ= IOS33 v2834 with rev14 DIP
IOS17ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ= IOS33 v2834 with rev14 DIP
IOS20 -> IOS22ÂÂÂÂ= IOS33 v2834 with rev14 DIP
IOS28ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ= IOS28 v1293 with rev14 DIP
IOS30ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ= IOS33 v2834 with rev13b DIP + ES_Identify Patch
IOS31ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ= IOS31 v3092 with rev14 DIP
IOS33ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ= IOS33 v2834 with rev14 DIP
IOS34ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ= IOS34 v3091 with rev14 DIP
IOS35ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ= IOS35 v3092 with rev14 DIP + ES_Identify Patch
IOS36ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ= IOS36 v3094 with rev13b DIP + ES_Identify Patch
IOS37ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ= IOS37 v3612 with rev14 DIP
IOS38ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ= cIOS249 rev13b with rev14 DIP
IOS50ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ= IOS50 v4889 with rev13b DIP + ES_Identify Patch
IOS53ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ= cIOS249 rev13b with rev14 DIP
IOS55ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ= IOS55 v5149 with rev14 DIP
IOS60ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ= IOS60 v6174 with rev13b DIP + ES_Identify Patch
bcÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ= bc v5 + Trucha Bug Restored
cmiosÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ= mios v4 with GC Backup Launcher embedded but
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂwith mios v9's tmd, ticket, and banner info.

How to install it:
Unpack the contents of this .zip file to your SD card and run the
"cIOSCORP v3.2 Installer" application via the Homebrew Channel,
sit back, and wait a few minutes. That's it!

If you want to load backup GameCube games aswell, then run the
"cmios Installer" application via the Homebrew Channel, after
installing cIOSCORP v3.2. If you already have a cmios and don't
want to change it, then don't run "cmios Installer".

IOSes 30, 35, 36, 50, and 60 now all have the ES_Identify Patch
in them. This fixes preloader compatibility, and should allow the
majority of homebrew applications to identify as SU (SuperUser).

Comment from dmm:
"We tried to make it as noob friendly as possible. Read README,
copy it over, run it, done!"

FAQ:
Does it work with LU64+ or equivalent Wiis?
-> YES! It is the ONLY full-on disc channel loading solution for
LU64+ and equivalent Wiis!
cIOSCORP v1 and v2 will BRICK LU64+ (or equivalent) WIIS!

Do I have to uninstall anything before installing this?
-> NO!!!
NEVER UNINSTALL OR DELETE ANY SORT OF SYSTEM FILES!
DO NOT UNINSTALL THE SYSTEMMENU!
DO NOT UNINSTALL ANY IOS!
DO NOT UNINSTALL THE BC!
DO NOT UNINSTALL THE MIOS!
DON'T EVEN TOUCH BOOT2! (let bootmii do that, if it can)
OR ELSE YOU WILL KILL YOUR WII!
Just make a NAND backup if you can, then run the installer.
THAT'S IT!

Can I switch off or unplug the Wii during installation?
Is there any way to cancel the installation during the install
process?
-> NO!!!
DOING SO WILL KILL YOUR WII!
Once you press "Load" in the Homebrew Channel, or load the
"cIOSCORP v3.2 Installer" application, you can't stop the
installation.

Does preloader and the System Menu spaz out with a
"System Files are corrupted" message when installed on a 3.xx Wii?
-> Not anymore!

My discs don't show up in the System Menu! What do I do?
-> Try to experiment with enabling and disabling preloader hacks,
especially if the hack's name has the words "region", "game"
and/or "disc" in it, or maybe change your Wii's region setting.

How do I play Import games?
If you have preloader installed, use the "region free wii games"
hack. If you don't, you'll have to download and use the
application "Gecko OS", and load the game through that.
If you get a blackscreen when loading an import, load it
through Gecko OS and force the correct video mode.

Does Ghostbusters work?
-> Yes, but it seems to only work on some Wiis and not others (some
get blackscreen). This seems to be a problem with the Wii's
settings (like preloader hacks, video mode, region, etc), and
seems unrelated to IOS.

Ghostbusters gives a black screen! What do I do?
-> Try to experiment with enabling and disabling preloader hacks,
especially if the hack's name has the words "region", "game"
and/or "disc". Maybe even try changing your Wii's video mode from
NTSC to PAL, and vice versa. Make sure the iso you're using hasn't
had a patch video mode, or been patched to use an IOS other than
IOS53, or been patched at all. Make sure it's not a bad dump, etc.
The video Mode on the scene release seems to be stuffed up. 
Maybe treat it as an import game, load it through Gecko OS,
forcing the video setting to whatever your Wii's isnt.
If It still gives a black screen, then I don't know what to do.
Maybe there's a setting you missed and didn't change.

Ghostbusters freezes at the Wrist Strap Health & Safety Screen!
What do I do?
-> According to WiiPower, this seems to be a problem with the Scene
Release, which could be a bad dump. There is a "disc eject trick"
that I found on gbatemp (can't remember who posted it, though.
@Whoever discovered this, credits to you.) I have reworded it into
steps:

Start at the wii menu

1. Make sure the nunchuk is connected before starting
2. Insert disc
3. Banner should load up in disc channel
4. Hit Start (but be ready to hit eject)
5. You should see the screen flicker for a second, when this
ÂÂ happens, HIT EJECT IMMEDIATELY!
6. It should say "Please Insert Disc blah blah blah", just wait a
ÂÂ few seconds, then insert the disc.
7. The game should load fine from that point.

This might have to be tried a few times, and will need practice
to master.

Here's a quote from WiiPower from this thread:
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=123307
"Problem category 3(heath screen freeze games)

These games freeze at the heath screen for some users, mostly for
people using discs and that only get 3x reading speed. There's no
real solution for this problem yet. Some people get it to work by
pressing certain buttons with the correct timing. And many people
report that they get the game to load by pressing eject with the
correct timing, and reinserting the disc when they are asked for.
The correct timing seems to be as soon as the screen flashes white
for the health screen. And a 3rd solution that is reported to work
is to remove the sd card. It seems these problems are caused by
faulty piracy releases, many people reported that a self created
backup works flawlessly, while the 3 burns before have this issue.
Maybe this problem is caused by scrubbing the game."

Comment from dmm:
"Fixing Ghostbusters compatibility really pissed us off.
I mean REALLY. I'm assuming it pissed off the testers aswell.
It took 4 fixes to make it work. Animal Crossing Wii worked with
the first fix we made for it.

If I ever see a ghost, I am going to personally bust the
damn thing myself!"

My Wii Speak channel doesn't work! What do I do?
You must have installed cIOSCORP v3.1, which had a modified IOS56,
which didn't work. Just acquire a copy of the file
"IOS56-64-v4890.wad", and install using Wad Manager.

This this related to the original cIOSCORP?
No.

Are you affiliated with any of the creators of the original
cIOSCORP?
No.

Credits:
waninkokoÂÂÂÂ- made the cIOS249 we all know and love, I used DIP
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂmodules from that to make cIOSCORP v3.2
WiigatorÂÂÂÂ- made the cmios which is used in cIOSCORP v3.2
WiiPowerÂÂÂÂ- for telling me about rev14's DIP Module breaking
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂDual Layer Support
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ- for explaining the "Problem category 3
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ(health screen freeze games)"
icefireicefireÂÂÂÂ- made the original cIOSCORP installer, I modified
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂthat to install cIOSCORP v3.2
WiiBlasterÂÂÂÂ- the creator of the original cIOSCORP, he let me
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂuse the name "cIOSCORP" as no other name seemed
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂto fit what this modification does

And of course...
All of my testers (too many to name, you all did an
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂABSOLUTELY SUPERB JOB! Without you guys, this
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂwould never have any of the fixes it has now!)

Changelog:
v3.2ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ- added the ES_Identify Patch to IOSes 30, 35,
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂand 50 (preloader fix)
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ- fixed Animal Crossing Wii compatibility
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ- fixed Ghostbusters compatibility as much as
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂpossible
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ- moved cmios to use an installer separate to the 
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂmain installer, for people who don't want to
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂinstall the included cmios
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ- removed IOSes 51, 56, 57, and 61 as they are
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂunnecessary
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ- completely overhauled the README

v3.1ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ- fixed the #001 errors many games were giving.

v3.0ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ- Unreleased, due to the amount of #001 errors.
Ghostbusters has its own problems not related to IOS, like an incorrect video mode (PAL video mode on NTSC release ISO!), and the wrist strap screen glitch. Jus read the README to get it working.

Animal Crossing should also be working, but one person has reported that they have had freeze-ups, but it didn't happen to me so I can't verify that.

Anyways, here's the .dol:
*SNIP*
If this .dol doesn't work for you, just open it up in notepad and have a look through it.

Anyways, enjoy!

P.S. I probably won't be back here until Tuesday, as I am using public access internet at a local library (they don't open on weekends).

For those that don't wish to copy the .dol to a wii and understand how to use a hex editor, you can also extract the link from the .dol. It's around offset 0x0032D4D.

Not sure about using Notepad, but that seems easier to me.

Anyway, thanks for the release. I may try this out later.

Just a quick question. Last time on non LU64 sets with cioscorp v1 installed, hackmii v0.2 would just freeze unless it uses the original IOS36-v1042. Does 3.1/3.2's cios36 have this issue anymore?

Woldn't it be better to change this to recommend DOP-IOS? This wouldn't require downloadig a WAD file. Just starting DOP-IOS, selecting IOS56 and pressing A. Everything without illegal downloaded WADs.
