Some months ago, I modded a Wii for a friend. It was a 3.2 set. So I just installed neogamma r6 & rev10 for him. It is a non LU64 set with bootmii NAND & disc backups were definitely working.
Yesterday, he brought his set to me again because he bought the original copy of band hero & upgraded it. Fair enough I believe it updated the firmware & overwrote the ios36 & others. Then his nephew again updated it to 4.2 via nintendo update.
So there again, I used TBR 1.1 mod & did the usual stuffs. Deleted the stubs and replaced them with ios249 rev14 & hermes v4. To my surprise, when I tried to launch a game using neogamma r7, it threw a DVD read error at me. Tried another few games & all produced the same result. So since it's an old Wii, I proceeded to use ARC to downgrade it to 3.2. Neogamma r7 still refused to launch the games. Since downgrading from a higher firmware, there are bound to be quite a number of unrelated IOSes (and stubs from 4.2), the next step I did was to format the Wii under 3.2 thinking this would really produce a clean slate. I was wrong, when I used DOP-IOS mod to check. IOSes 60 (v6400), 61 and some 3.4 IOSes were still intact. So I deleted them. Of course I took extra precaution not to delete any related to 3.2 firmware.
Next I installed ios249 rev10 with neogamma r6. This time it worked. I also tried uloader and it worked as well. I also tried rev15/16. 16 bombed under neogamma as it always times out when trying to read the disc. Another thing to take note is when I use HBC/uloader the wiimote seems to act strangely as I have to tilt the controller sideways or at an angle in order to position it correctly at the screen.
I also noticed that the 4.2 update changed the NAND to boot2v4. If that's the reason for neogamma acting up, can some expert please clarify? Also, since i downgraded it to 3.2, I thought of using IOS downgrader to totally restore the trucha bug for the other IOSes.
One last thing, using Insanity check here are the list of current IOSes. Could someone tell me what is not supposed to be there? (Under 3.2)
