Hacking Change IOS a Channel/WAD Uses

[MWisBest]

So basically those 'DevCerts' on the Wii Backup Disc (aka PInk Fish Disc) can be repacked to a normal WAD for retail Wiis if you decrypt them using the dev-key and then encrypt the decrypted stuff with the common-key, and I did just so and then replaced the WAD files on the Wii Backup Disc with the repacked ones. I ran the disc and it installed the DevCerts just fine! But here is the thing, ShowMiiWads reports that these WADs use IOS3, of which we only have a stub version. I wonder why Nintendo released an IOS3 stub? Well now we know! If these WADs could be changed to use IOS9 or something they would probably do something different.

We can change what IOS a game uses, why not a WAD?

Looks like it is a Windows app. I need something that works in Linux.

EDIT: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/TMD

Looks like I can manually edit the TMD of it to change the IOS is uses. I'll try it.

Well I'm going to try just installing IOS9 into the IOS3 slot using DOP-Mii, and if that doesn't work then I'll switch the TMD.

I'd like to know if the DevCerts will allow us to real-sign games so hacked games can look like the real ones.
(AKA no Trucha signing, but how Ninty does it.)

I doubt it. DOP-Mii wouldn't let me install IOS9 to the IOS3 slot, but it supported IOS4 and up. -.- . I used ShowMiiWads Mono to patch IOS9 v520 to install to IOS3 slot and installed that wad with WAD Manager. I still have yet to notice any difference, but I haven't done much digging around.
