Uninstaller?

it just uninstalls the patched IOS not real IOS'

Uninstaller?

Of course they can. They are like ANY other title installed on the Wii.

My understanding was that there was no proper method to uninstall IOS (custom at least), not that it was impossible.

What features does this add?

Of course they can. They are like ANY other title installed on the Wii.


Except for the fact that they're installed in a different directory...

He should've just added it to the WAD Manager.



I was really interested in the GenPlus with DVD support.... until I realized this is typical Waninkoko and no source was released....


QUOTE

Unencrypted DVD reads are no longer byte limited. I assume he also found a way to enable the DVD drive with emulators. If this keeps up, we might see an ISO launcher in about two weeks.

Wiat so can this read Dvd-r or what?

Wiat so can this read Dvd-r or what?

Apparently so, but only for homebrew.


I would test it... but finding IOS37-64-v2070.wad is proving to be difficult.

I've installed/uninstalled IOS files with WAD Manager. The route is "00000001"(same as the System Menu and other important garbage), as you might know, and WAD Manager can deal with that perfectly.

jayparadox, an IOS can't be uninstalled using the normal way.

[DarkLG]

Waninko will you be updating this ios and adding more features or what?

 

[waninkoko]

Yes. I already have some in mind.

Oh, and I will send all my IOS patches to bushing so he can include them in PatchMii.
