Hacking Wii Shop Update,Help Required

shanefromoz · Nov 22, 2008

Hi All,

I have a pal wii 3.2e with a wiikey.
I also have the hbc beta 9 working perfectly.
I tried to go to the wii shop but it says an update is required.
I dont buy items from the wii shop but in December will purchase the mic for wii speak.
I know wii speak has to be downloaded from the wii shop.
I see there is a ios50 which also gives the 3.4 update but does not change the wii from 3.2 should i try this?
Or should i just wait for a wad file of the wii speak channel whcih might not happen.
Im a real noob with ios files so please be nice and straight to the point.

Cheers

install the IOS50 file, and your Shop Channel will work agian. You will still be on 3.2e.

If you accidently upgrade to 3.4, and you have the Homebrew Channel already installed, you can run the Custom IOS Downgrader to go back to 3.2, and still have the Shop Channel updated (I did this today, so I know it still works).

I was on 3.3a with the Shop channel fix, but I wanted Starfall, so downgraded to 3.2, went into my Shop channel, and was allowed in.

Wait, what? IOS50? Don't you mean IOS51? To access the Shop Channel nowadays you need the latest version of the Shop Channel, and IOS51. There are installers for just these components here.

ios50 is newer then ios51 correct?
Check this http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=116570.
It allows you to grab the features of 3.4 but stay on your current firmware.

Yes, IOS50 is newer than IOS51. However, different channels on Wiis have different IOS dependancies.

Installing IOS50 by itself will not give you any of the 3.4 benefits without something that uses IOS50, of which there only happens to be one thing, System Menu 3.4 (which also breaks most homebrew by this combination)Oops, seems there is another. Yes, that patched System Menu 3.4 should give you the 3.4 benefits.Oops, sorry, that's just saying that there is a patched 3.4 being worked on. Seems that that installer won't give you any benefits other than Mii Channel keyboard support.

The new version of the Shop Channel depends not on IOS50 but on IOS51, if you try to load it without IOS51 it will just reboot your Wii.

Ok so i should install ios51 then ios50?
Will that way work fine?

Either way would work fine

, but you still need to install the new Shop Channel, not just IOSes.

The point I was trying to make was that if you just want the Shop Channel, you do not need IOS50 at all.

With the dol file do i just load it through the hbc or do i need other files/folders on the sd card as well?

Cheers

I`m testing this now...Ill post later if I can get the shop channel working on 3.2U

This is all you need: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Shop_and_IOS51_installer

Download and install this: http://hbcapps.com/updater%20noob%202.tar.gz

Ga1l0w · Dec 28, 2008

So I just copy the noob pack files to the apps section on the SD card and boot them in HBC? I assume you have to boot the IOS installer first, before you install the channel...

*crosses fingers*
