I have read each of the posts and replies sent by apu2009 with great interest but still have some questions or need for clarifications. It seems I am in the same boat apu2009 was in (I have HBC running, IOS 247 and various IOS fixes, shop channel updates, etc) and have an NTSC wii updated to 3.3U. I haven't been able to get the original wiigator backup loader working (keep getting DVD Region error; I know that this is most likely a burn issue but have tried several burns at 2.4 and 1 speeds on TDK DVD-R disks using IMGBurn 2.4 but get the same error) and hope that the latest v3 loader will work properly and with better performance and game compatibility. I read that the latest wiigator v3 loader needs a newer IOS and that IOS can't be installed without first uninstalling the old IOS using AnyTitleDeleter, but then I read that uninstalling an older IOS on a 3.3U updated wii will prevent new IOS installations. So apu2009's fix was to follow RadioShow's instructions above, but those instructions seem to be geared for wii's with no older IOS's installed. My question: should I attempt to follow RadioShow's instructions and copy the new IOS over the old one, or somehow erase everything, start from scratch and follow Radioshow's instructions to get a proper IOS installed, then follow the instructions to get the v3 loader running? If starting from scratch is the best option, how do I delete the right stuff from the wii?
Thanks for all for the hard work in making this stuff available and the information I have found here.
Edit: sorry for the novel; just want to be clear...
