Hacking Best cIOS Selection for Newbies

[harmor]

Hey thanks for this guide I needed something like this badly, just a quick question so I don't do anything wrong, I have ciosrev14 installed and I'm pretty sure it's trucha patched, I heard deleting Ios like 249 and 250 can brick your wii, I just want to make sure this is not the case and I will go ahead with this. Thanks a lot.

Deleting IOS249 or 250 will not brick your Wii.

You do not have to delete any cIOS's before installing rev19.

@arevir711: I'm not sure what base your cIOSes are, only you can tell us that.

@Memino: No, deleting IOS249/250 won't brick but make sure you have a trucha signed IOS before you delete it otherwise you'll need to restore it into IOS36. Deleting SM IOSes will brick (I think ATD MOD has anti bricking precuations?).

Go try it and come back to tell us.

BBking83,

I just followed the guide WiiBricker gave us and used the base cIOSes. (thanks bricker!) So aside from that, I guess I'm good right?

Lastly, I use USB Loader GX and have been reading stories about people who lose their games. I disconnect my HDD when I updated using this guide and I use wbfs partition. Just want to make sure if I plug it back in and fire up usb loader I won't get a wipe. Thanks

*Update*

USB Loader GX works perfect! 30+ games FLAWLESS

I really hope that someone can make all the wads so that an easy installation can be done with wad manager.

One more thing I should mention for any newbies following this guide...

Anytitle Deleter uses ios 249 to run, so when you delete both 250 and 249 you shouldn't have any problems deleting them both, but it might hang when you hit the home button and try to back out to homebrew channel. I just held down the power button to get it to shut off.

Followed this guide and now I get -1029 error when trying to launch games from Triiforce_MRC v9 with USB Nand Emulation.

Any solutions out there?

 

[BBking83]

I'm pretty sure the base needs to be 38 for Triiforce?

Can you tell it to run off 250?

Dude, best install is a matter of opinion, your choices are terrible for my system. No offense, this is just my opinion and what works for me, I understand your intentions here, but you are going to make people come back and go "this isn't working!!! help!!!". Even if you put that in your post is still will cause these problems.

Best config for Triiforce and USB loading:

cIOSrev17
Hermes 222 (38) / 223 (37) - v4
Hermes 224 (57) - v5

Once new Triiforce comes out or cIOS fixes issues with it, I'll consider what you have posted to be ok. But right now your recommendations break compatibility in a major way.

So far, I agree with this. Triiforce was my first test and it failed miserably. Hopefully my Wii backups load properly. If not, time to revert back to last working setup of Rev17+Hermes v4

Wiibricker, did you by any chance get your "best cIOS selection" from my post in the GX forum?

just wondering because they are pretty coincidental

edit: well except IOS249
i chose to merge it with IOS70 because thats the only IOS not touched.

other than that, i would say great minds think alike

whats the diff? IOS38 vs IOS70?

 

[xzxero]

nothing i know of, its just that IOS223 is already merged with 37 so i chose 70 to have a variety.
