i read the limitations to ios vs boot2. not super clear whether it's something that they will be able to change in the future or the limitation is permanent to those with newer wiis?

It's hardware. So you're good to go on the boot2 method. I installed it on my 4.0 system (bought in early 07) without a hitch.

Now if you're a 'moron' like me who foolishly upgraded without removing an outdated 249 (this was before USB Loader, but when backup launchers were all the rage. I followed a tutorial right here on this site which involved upgrading to 3.4, but it didn't cross my mind that 249 would interfere with anything at the time), you can install BootMii just fine, but it's a matter of time until there's fixes around. (Maybe adapting AnyTitle Deleter as a windows app that works with NAND.BIN files perhaps? now THAT'S an idea)


I assume that Boot2 gets also overwritten if you use a foreign NAND dump. If the other Wii didn't had Bootmii installed it will brick.
My new application cBoot2 should solve your problem http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=156199 if you are able to install Bootmii as Boot2.

just a quick question can't test this because need to go buy some dvds tomorrow but you have to burn one game per disc for now is that what waninkoko is working on or can you burn multiple games on one disc i heard some talk about it earlier but need some clarification i'm not talking about gamecube games that are more than one disc per game


Multigame is supported in my loader, just use the generator from GCOS.

I think you should clean the lense of the laser. A similar problem was already solved in the past with this method.
Search in the internet for an instruction, because if the lense is scratched, it will get even worse.

In Topic: System Menu questions/thoughts

Ok, I already thought that installing cIOS over all installed IOSes would work, but I didn't tried it.
I didn't wanted to brick my Wii and it is much more dangerous then just installing a cIOS to IOS249.
Nintendo will not be able to handle this. I have internal information from Nintendo that they are already have problems to handle normal updates (correctly signed stuff).
If the system is completely based on fake-signed stuff, where everybody installs a random choosen IOS, there is a possibilty that an official Nintendo update will lead to a brick. They will not be able test all custom configurations.

Here are some answers to questions in the thread:
1. The rebooter patches the System Menu to always use IOS249. This is done by replacing the first bytes of:
0x7f, 0x06, 0xc3, 0x78,
0x7f, 0x25, 0xcb, 0x78,
0x38, 0x7e, 0x02, 0xc0,
0x4c, 0xc6, 0x31, 0x82
by:
0x3b, 0x20, 0x00, 0x01,
0x3b, 0x00, 0x00, 0xf9
where 0xf9 is IOS249. If you add this patch also all original games will use this IOS. So the compatibilty is lower for original games.

2. The DVD speed for original and backups will be same as before.

3. This will not help to get GameCube backups working. Only MIOS is responsible for this. I need just to clear one bit in a register to get DVD video access, but as I said before the games use the wrong DVD commands.
