Hacking Does cIOS rev 10 really install as IOS 250?

[piratesmack]

I'm a little confused about this.
Waninkoko's blog and the README.txt say it installs as IOS 249

And after installing it, I have IOS 249 and IOS 250

What is IOS 250?

What is IOS 250?

It does seem to install to IOS250. Why, I don't know. I presume the readme's IOS249 is a typo or something. Either that or 250 is something else created by the installation. I know I didn't have an IOS250 before this version.

 

[FenrirWolf]

Yeah, I checked ATD and I have IOS250 now. Not sure why it installs there.

There may be a size limitation to how big IOS can be, if that's the case Waninkoko may have needed to have multiple IOS installed to support standard backup loading from disc, USB loader, and SD loading.

That's kind of what I was thinking.

The first version of cIOS rev 10 that waninkoko uploaded had a bug that made all the USB loaders freeze when trying to boot a game.
If it installed as IOS 250, it wouldn't have touched IOS 249 and the games should have booted fine with the other loaders... Right?

Maybe IOS250 is used for the SD loading feature.

That's probably it.

I sent a PM to Waninkoko, I'll let you guys know if he replies

New Wii are blocking IOS249 I've read... so...
Look at Wiinewz.
Maybe it is a Waninkoko workaround but launcher like wiigator's one must be updated so...

The new Wiis just don't block cIOS installed as IOS249, if you install somewhere else, it's blocked too. The problem with the new Wiis is much bigger than most people might think, and nobody knows why it happens, because you can install the cIOS without a problem, but the Wiis freezes if you try to use it.

 

[OuahOuah]

Ok.
Maybe a good Nin' Dev have awaken, at last

I thought he'd made a bit of a goof and has now updated the installer, hence the title "Custom IOS36 rev 10 (¡ACTUALIZADO!)"??
Oh yeah, for non-Spanish speakers that's "(UPDATED!)" in the brackets

 

[grakje]

Mmm, so we're having at this time CIOS202, 222, 249, and 250. When will the Wii be full of them

 

[stev418]

I havent tried the 'updated' cIOS rev10, so i was just thinking it was the first release that did this :\

 

[FenrirWolf]

It is the final version that does it. I didn't install the first release when I read that people were having trouble with it. Once Wanny updated it then I ran the installer. And now I have an IOS250.

Do you need to install rev 10?

what is IOS250 used for any way?

 

[FenrirWolf]

I installed it to try out wanny's 1.2 loader. I'd imagine that rev10 has to do with SD card functionality since 1.2 can run off of rev9. Or at least the USB functionality can. I don't have a spare SD to play with for the SD function.

 

[richy]

Hmmm... I thought there was an earlier version of cIOS36_rev10 which installed IOS250 by mistake but I've just grabbed the most up to date version and it does install IOS249 (v10) and a new IOS250 (v65535) as well. The documentation doesn't mention this new IOS anywhere and 65535 is just 2 to the power of 16 (i.e. highest value in 16-bit) so it's almost like it's there by mistake as the IOS249 files always have a "correct" revision number. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough but it is a bit confusing at the moment.

So i can get the 1.2 loader and it works with out it?

Its just i don't have preloader so i dont want to brick my wii.

Also got a link to 1.2?

Maybe he made IOS250 as a "backup" IOS and 65535 is the highest version so Ninty cant update over it?
*shrugs*

 

[WiiCrazy]

Why is this so hard to understand?

So that they don't overwrite each other... one has not throughly tested sd&usb loading stuff (250) one has a well tested usb loading (249)

Just to localize tests...
