Hacking cIOScorp 3

[kLiNiKaL]

i think hese suggesting using preloader to run sysmenu from 249 or patch all your games to 249...either way it doesnt really amount to what CORP did in the beginning which was pretty much flawless disc channel loading albeit at 3x instead of 6x but hey watcha want for free.

i'm unaware of any other ways, because since bootmii, usb gx and rev14 my wii is complete...no more daily checks until i get xbmc or linux wifi

I actually changed with preloader the IOS to 249, and activate the IOS reload hack, but the game never shows at the disc channel, so I don't think CIOScorp is outdated or unnecesary, and cIOS_r14 gives error 002 when launching from channels made with cLoader, so I'm still at cIOS_r9...!!

 

[kLiNiKaL]

either way wanin would need to release the dip module from rev14 (i dunno if this is already out there, but its not on his github.) so someone could redo corp.

a little birdy told me that a new installer is nearly ready that downloads the ios, patchs and installs all in one go.....it might even come from a certain ex-theme related group lol.

 

[ether2802]

Nicksassa was making something like that after I told him to, but he is not close to release it, it is going to be kind of a "Multi_IOS/cIOS Installer" but you will only be able to inject the DIP module to cIOS_r10 maximun, cause after that the DIP module are several patches and .app files injected directly into the title...!!

....you can do that with Preloader and cIOS rev 14. Why would you do it the hard way when you can do it that way, which is both safer and easier?

Easier? Maybe.
Safer? No. Its like all the IOS are workers in santa's factory, and CIOSCORP brainwashes them into making steroids to give to children.

I don't think WiiBlaster has any plans on creating a new cIOScorp.
You could do it yourself if you want, it's not that hard.

Here's the cIOScorp creation thread:

As the others have said, you can load backups from the disk channel with preloader and rev 14.
I think you just need the trucha bug in your system menu IOS and the IOS reload hack.

I tested this out the day rev14 was released, seemed to work good until i tried to go into my wii system settings and was unable to

it just hangs the wii.

PAL 4.1 with bootmii as boot2 and rev14.

that sounds like you installed 4.0 theme on your 4.1 system menu

First: I guess there won't be a new cIOSCORP, since the DIP-Plugin isn't open-source

. Second: I mean, why do all Kiddies Scream: OMG, I wantz Loadig from disk Canel!!!? Yeah shure, it's easier for them

. Well, get NeoGamma, modify the Source a bit so it Autoboots if you launch it (if you get the Source of the existing Autoboot, remove an "IF" command), install a Channel, done. Much safer, easier, better. There are even Channel that look like the Disc Channel with Spinning Discs, etc.

Summary:
-Forget cIOSCORP
-->Brick Chance High, not for stupid people, not better than loaders.
-Forget IOS Reload Hack/Patching Menu
-->Makes menu unstable (at least patching)
-Loaders are a pure win
-->Up-to-date, Cheats, Force Language/Mode, easy updating, etc...

I can't understand why there is such hostility.
Loaders are fine, but if you want the ease of disk channel loading (and it is much nicer), and you understand the risk.. then CIOSCORP is great.

To be honest, I really like CIOSCORP, I've had it installed for a long long time with no problems at all.
Just dont be dumb.

Backup your NAND before hand.
Make your you follow each step carefully.
Its not rocket science.

Hmmm... finally somebody has started talking about cIOSCORP v3...

Do you really want to know when cIOSCORP v3 will be released, or even if it exists?

Well...

It does! I've already made it myself! I've already given it to testers and I've gotten good results. I haven't uploaded my final version to the internet yet as my internet speed was slowed, due to going over my download quota, but it should speed back up to normal around the middle of next week, and I'll upload it then. I've already uploaded an older version of my cIOSCORP v3 to rapidshare a while ago (but some games give #001 error with this older release). The final one is called cIOSCORP v3.1.

This cIOSCORP is based on the latest available IOS, so it _SHOULD_ be LU64 compatible.

I can provide a link to cIOSCORP v3 if you want, and if I gain permission to do so (It contains wads.)

I don't understand the whole fuss either.
Sure CIOSCORPS is not the safest and best way to do it, but at least it is pretty save to launch games from disc channel. And i must say i prefer disc channel loading too. And i hope they will make a new version some day with cios14

 

[damysteryman]

My cIOSCORP v3.1 does use rev14's DIP, except for IOSes 30, 36, 50, and 60, (which use rev13b's DIP) as rev14 breaks dual layer support (SSBB)

And yes I prefer using disc channel loading over changing loader settings. I just pop in a disc and play!

 

[LexLuthor]

Finally some people who talk sense.
People shouldnt be so scared of CIOSCORP. Especially since we now have bootmii.

 

[FGOD]

they shouldn't do idiotic things like deleting all ios's cause they want to delete cioscorps. i mean how stupid can you be? :s and even so, i mean all users of homebrew are warned to be sure of what they do as "all" homebrew can brick their wii... so they shouldn't complain.

Hmm, just tried this and everything is working fine.
Some games are giving the 002 error, but I expected that.

NTSC-U 4.1, trucha patched IOS60, cIOS38 rev 14

cIOSCORP is stupid. Anyone who thinks otherwise is also stupid.

Prove me wrong.

Use a loader.

The proof is in the fact the simple install worked perfectly for me however many months ago I installed it on my 4.0 Wii. And since then I have been able to flawlessly boot all my backups via the disk channel without the tiresome use of a loader. On top of that I get to see the sexy looking channel animation.

Whilst I obviously use a USB loader as well, CIOSCORP is a great way to boot backups that otherwise wouldn't fit on my HDD.

I honestly can't see how you could think this is stupid..
Even If I did accidentally manage to gut my Wii of all its IOS files (and this would have to be a pretty monumental screw up), then I keep a fairly upto date NAND backup so I could just restore my Wii to exactly how it was (or even better just reinstall them via preloader, if I could).

Prove me wrong.

 

[wiistarter]

I used it so I could rip my backup discs to the HDD.
