Has anyone made a hack or softmod or whatever which would allow you to return to the Wii Menu (or at least hard reset/power off the Wii) via Gamecube mode?
sometimes it will remove the ability to boot gamecube games from the home channle but you can use a backuploader to boot disk and that shud workDoes DIOS MIOS replace or git rid of the stock GC launcher? (hope not!)
Yes, the DIOS MIOS WAD overwrites the original MIOS but it's not a big problem because you can re-install the original MIOS anytime.
Thats right.
Just to clarify, DIOS MIOS has the padhook patch, no need to do anything, just enable it in the loader (wiiflow, usbloader gx, etc) and when you want to reset or power off just press the button combination. When booting retail disc via disc channel just press the sequence as mentioned.
Reset/Power off via button combo (R + Z + Start) (R + Z + B + D-Pad Down)
Yep, just reinstalling the original MIOS will overwrite DIOS MIOS without nothing special.
