Many vc games launch fine via SD card. But others I get this error message. The troubled games work fine until I copy them to the SD card... then I cannot copy then back or launch them.

Any solution?

Thanks, Tuxedo Mask! I have patched IOS80, albeit with a different program (DOP-Mii). I also notice that the program in your linked thread is for vWii... as I am using a standard Wii and not a Wii U, would this program work? I was planning to try patching IOS70 later.

It will not work (and might brick your console because system menu depends on IOS80, incorrectly patching it will prevent booting the system menu).
Be careful not to patch Wii IOS80 using the WiiU vWii patcher version.


DOPmii, or even modmii is the one to use to install patched IOS 80 for Wii.

What's your system menu version?
older menu used older IOS slots.
60 or 70.
some softmods guides are even patching IOS60 and installing the result in all three slots 60/70/80.

I never patched it myself (I'm still on 3.2E, I don't have the SD menu), so I'm not expert in this kind of hack.
Maybe someone else could confirm what patch you need to do, and which IOS you need to use.

Or just update your softmod with modmii, it will install all required IOS.

    i dont know why tv manufactures put the hdmi ports in dumb locations so the cables have to stick out, and then down, putting strain on the ports. Instead of having the ports along the bottom edge of the tv facing downwards.
