Hacking cIOS Installer sources?

[twofive]

Has someone got sources for cIOS installer by waninkoko or WiiGator?
Just wanna try something very interesting out. (no, not a cIOS by me)

download gamma and then go to "source" and there are the sources of gamma AND cios

What do you want to test? As far as i know Waninkoko's cIOS installer is closed source and WiiGator's source is in the official package.

Maybe you want to use this:
http://ratm.net63.net/multi_cios_installer0.23.zip
It's based on WiiGator's, but has some more features if you know how to use them. (use parts from different IOS for example)

I want to overwrite my IOS36 with cIOS... Is there any direct risk of bricking my Wii or may it be possible to do this?
That would be somethin' like a custom firmware...

Just change 249 to 36 in WiiGator's source for this. Maybe you should delete IOS36 before this, i never tried overwriting a IOS, i always deleted the old one first.

PS: If you release this installer, you need to include the source code in the release

currently patchmii and its clones requires IOS36 to run. If you f it up, you may not be able to fix it except maybe deleting and using a disc to update.

I don't think you would brick your WII though.

The multi cIOS installer allows to select the IOS it is installed to, but I can't go lower than IOS55. I'm going to look at the sources to find out where this restriction is.

Deleting isn't possible, because most homebrew apps use it and so I can't even install a new IOS36.

Wish me luck

No they don't, they work fine if you don't have a IOS36 installed. They only need the files from IOS36, but they get these via wifi, or like WiiGator's installer optionally from sd card.

That's a "security" restriction i made. I don't want to be resonsible if someone overwrites an important IOS with the installer. You can delete IOS36 and then install the cIOS as IOS36. Everything should work fine after this.

Are you REALLY sure that my system menu is going to work fine if I delete IOS36? It currently runs at 3.2E.

 

[nicksasa]

hmm HBC requires ios36 ... at least for me

Not that big problem. Quickly injecting it into a WAD would do the trick, but I'm not sure which IOS the system menu uses, and if it uses IOS36, it still boots if you just delete it ...

Until today i had no IOS36 for quite a long time, my HBC used IOS35. Ok now i'm not sure anymore if deleting IOS36 works.

Okay. Can you tell me where you built that restriction in your code? Can't find it. It has to be somewhere in patchmii_core.c, that's for sure, but where?

//EDIT: Just found it.
CODEif ((pressed == WPAD_BUTTON_LEFT) && (OUTPUT_TITLEID_L > 55))

Removing that second clause should do the trick, right?

//EDIT2: Gettin' some errors compiling.

Any ideas?

You need the old ligogc,libfat,DevkitPPC and DevkitARM, the versions around May. You can find them at sourceforge. I would replace 55 with 36 for your installer.

I just used WiiGator's installer, setup returned -1. So I deleted IOS36 (When I pressed A I thought I have to be crazy). System Menu still works, Homebrew Channel doesn't. I'm trying to boot cIOS Installer using twilight hack now.

 

[nicksasa]

if you now install hbc again it will work it then uses another ios

 

[twofive]

Sucess!

IOS36 installing via Twilight Hack worked. Homebrew Channel works now.
But the Disc Channel doesn't read burned discs... Which IOS is the system menu using?

You can't even change the IOS installer completely on your own, you shouldn't mess around with your system menu. Even Forsaken bricked one or two Wiis with this, and HE KNOWS what he is doing.
