Making a fresh IOS is possible. But it would take ALOT of Coding to make it

 

unless the "nintendo stopping" contains a device that examines and reads/searches every IOS for the "trucha bug" then it would make no difference would it?

 

You know, this is why Rev10 installs both an IOS249 and IOS250. Let's say Ninty gets smart and targets 249 in the next update. Good thing there's still 250 to run off of.

 

Well if nintendo would really care, they would just check for every IOS if it's trucha signed, if yes it gets deleted and if available overwritten with the latest version.

 

I second this emotion.

 

*RANT*
What do you mean if we put waninkoko up to it. I find this kinda insulting towards him. Like here boy go fetch this. Im know im coming of as a dick, but waninkoko does these things on his spare time as a hobby. Saying put ... up to it..is like we control a puppet and he is our bitch. The reason for this rant is because i myself find this to be disrespectful. Want something to happen. Study, research learn, and when you get stuck, ask for help.
*End Rant*

 

I love how people hate my posts because of the way i phrase it, but what i ment was if he wants to he can go ahead and do it ON HIS FREE TIME

 

Bring out the gimp

 

Yeah, I totally agree.

All nintendo need to do is run a small line of code on each found IOS, it would run on a trucha IOS and they would update that one, so really there is no easy way to stop Nintendo from detecking and deleting an IOS they do not want. This is why you should always wait before updating through Nintendo.

http://wiibrew.org/wiki/SignCheck This app checks for the turcha bug just fyi, so I'm sure Nintendo could do something similar too.

 

You are describing one characteristic of cIOS.

The higest number that an IOS could be installed as is 255. Take any IOS, unpack it, change the value at 0x18C in the TMD, repack it and fakesign it.

But as has already been stated this is pretty pointless. Nintendo has never attempted to block any specific custom IOS other than 254, which was used by PatchMii. They have blatantly ignored IOS249, which is widely used for piracy. This is most likely due to the fact that they know it would just be a game of "chase the cIOS". If they added an IOS249 stub to the update servers the hackers would just move cIOS to a different slot. It may slow down some people, but it wouldn't stop them.

The frontline battle for Nintendo is making sure that new Wii's (or Wii's that are fully updated without hacks installed) are unhackable.

The IOS16 workaround is dead. The key now is not how to add cIOS versions as different title IDs. The key is in Comex's hack to lower the title version of an existing, legitimate IOS that is already installed. Without that the "hackers" would currently be dead in the water.
