It is on the official CDN (which you can access with NUS Downloader as well as other tools); but if/when it won't be there anymore, if you miss your legal personal backup, there will be other people who will be able to offer you theirs :)

Sure no problem thanks for the quick reply... Btw feel free to PM me and tell me this (famous plumber-3d shape) site you've got me insterested lol a famous site I don't know about? Must bookmark it haha

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

have you managed to install cios 251 base 58 yet ?

Hey Toxic I got a really old broken down Wii only usb port works, and no disc drive. Lucky it's got Boot2 for some really odd reason since it was way after Q4 and went in for a repair back in 2013.... So I regular de-virginze it back to factory default wipe clear the nand and start over testing various things, will be testing base58/251 today though to see just what it does... It's confused the hell out of me this mate since I understand what each IOS/cIOS does. But since IOS58 is already installed as that's what the homebrew channel works off I don't see what installing the same IOS into base58/251 would do differently than it's already doing?

I have already asked that in another topic. maybe some expert can explain why. I'm also interested in solve this mistery!
IOS 58 was installed on 4.3 update.
on vWii, IOS58 was installed natively.
so, why all guides only refer to it on vWii hacking!?
I think it only makes sense on <4.3 wii's to have 2.0 support if you don't want to update to 4.3 !

this (famous plumber-3d shape) site you've got me insterested
Well it's not that hard to guess: the famous plumber is of Italian origins, eats lotsa spaghetti, and has been loved by gamers since the 80s - and the 3D shape is perhaps the most known regular solid (but not the simplest possible one), it's so popular even Nintendo named a console after it

Not even that!
Before IOS58, the de facto standard for USB 2 (without using a fully featured CIOS) was a simpler CIOS conventionally installed as 202, while nowadays of course it's official IOS 58 (which thanks to the Wii's modularity, you could install even on an 1.0 console without updating anything else: hell, there's even a dedicated homebrew to do this exact job...)
Unless you want to play a backup of Your Shape, there's likely no practical reason to install a base 58 CIOS

If you think about it, all that "CIOS selection recommended by a guide" means is "CIOS selection liked by whoever wrote it" :)

Famous plumber yep check! Loved by gamers since the 80's yep tick! But how this is supposed to point me to "the" famous site your talking about is beyond me lol, tell you what if the guy who plays the riddler ever dies in Gotham I'm putting your name forward :D I have no idea the site name your talking about could be 1 of a 1000. Feel free to PM me what you are refering too if you wish I don't bite.

I figured it out based on the very first subtle clue. I found it interesting and was browsing the site before this game of 20 questions even began, lol

Here's another clue, the second part is a shape with 6 sides, often rolled in board games. Or here's another one, fill in the blank, "ice (blank) tray"
