I'm probably never going to do cIOScrap, just wondering why if it would work... Is it because newer games reload IOS?

No, that's not the reason (there aren't many IOS-Reloading games anyways, you can count them with both of your hands).

As I said before, newer games "check" (hopefully I got this right) if they are launched from the requested IOS, and if they aren't, they'll give the error #002. See Wiibrew:
QUOTETypically, if a game that requires this IOS is started without it (via brickblocker or a Starfall update skip, for example), then the screen will turn blue and a white-text error message "Error #002" will appear. The Conduit behaves somewhat differently as it will simply display a black screen before freezing.
Loaders patch this error, when loading via the Priiloader-Method you don't, the game sees that you aren't using the requested IOS, and gives an Error/Blacks out (and no, you can't make a Priiloader-Hack that patches it). At least that's my guess, I'm not 100% shure. Could also be another reason.
