Q: What is CIOSCORP? A: CIOSCORP is a pack of wad files that you can install with WAD Manager Q: What does CIOSCORP do? A: CIOSCORP lets you play backups from the Disc Channel, as you would play original games, but without a modchip. Q: Where can I get CIOSCORP? A: I can't tell you where to get it, but the link is floating around the net now. Q: What are the risks of installing CIOSCORP? A: The only one that I can think of is if you lose power or something while your wii is installing the one that is IOS30. Q: Can CIOSCORP be uninstalled? A: Yes, but there is no official method. You kind of need to get all of the wad files for all of the IOSes that you replaced and reinstall them. Q: How do you install CIOSCORP? A: Just put all of the files in the wad folder on your card and then use the program 'wad manager' to install every one. AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS
If you follow the instruction correctly from the RiiskiMod tread you be able to launch out of region games as well.
There really aren't any requirements for CIOSCORP except I guess wad manager or multi cios installer. Plus you'd want to have starfall/preloader. And can we come up with like an acronym or something for CIOSCORP? Im getting tired of typing it all the time, all caps or cIOSCORP or w.e....
I guess I'm referring to... Will this install with System Menu 3.4? What if I do not have HBC installed? These are things that a "dummy" may not know. I'm just looking for someone to explain it better! =)
Q: How can I backup my original IOS's? I was told, cryptically, that you can use FTPii to get these files. I'm not sure of the process however.
I didn't get the original IOS's. All I have is: 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 20, 21, 22, 28, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, BugFix-37, BugFix-38, BugFix-53, BugFix-55
Aren't the original IOS's of each Wii System unique? I thought I remembered marcan and bushing saying something about that at 25C3.
So do games that required patching (Medal of honor hero's 2 for example) work is CIOSCORP? also can someone pm me all the stuff need to install/uninstall it.
You will still have IOS249 so your patch games will still load this will just make all or mostly all 98% work from the Disc channel. SoftMii is a complete pack of tools to give you this with free region and BRICK protection. There is a tread on here. Check it out!
