kylster said:Well when homebrew first came out they patched IOS36 since Ninty originally gave permission to this IOS and then took it back following the circumstances it was being used for. Some homebrew still rely on a patched IOS36 which has all the privileges to downgrade or overwrite a Stub IOS (Stubs do nothing but take up space) or higher revision IOS. Eventually people started installing a patched version of IOS36 into the IOS236 slot with a max revision number, just in case you do an official update by accident that particular IOS will not be deleted. So know any IOS that has a higher revision will never be deleted by a lower revision IOS with a official update.
I will gladly link you to appropriate filesand guides
Use this as a reference when ever you need help with homebrew. It's a really great guide ---> http://gwht.wikidot.com/
You can find anything regarding CFG Loader, IOS236, IOS249/250, IOS202/222/223/224, etc. You can even learn how to FTP into your wii so you will never have to remove your SD card you can transfer files over WiFi or any Wireless Internet.
Make sure you have the "Homebrew Channel" installed which im sure you do
Typically you will need to a patched IOS36, if you are having problems patching this IOS you can always grab the IOS 236 installer here ---> http://sharebee.com/07d2cc92 (v5) if that one does not work try (v4) ---> http://sharebee.com/b1972991.
You should have IOS249/250 installed, if not grab the installer ---> http://goo.gl/Or6bz you should use base IOS 57. Depending if you want to load VC & WiiWare titles from you HDD you install IOS249 using rev 17 here first ---> http://goo.gl/puFM8 you have 2 options to download this file. Choose one.
You can grab the latest version of Dop-Mii Wiibrew Edition v14.5 here ---> http://goo.gl/RxT06 or an older version 13 here ---> http://goo.gl/QTbGi ignore the warming and download anyways.
You should be able to us v13 and reload IOS236 or 250 to install a patched version of IOS36. You might ask yourself why do i need a patched IOS36 when IOS236 is suppose to take it's place considering it's the same IOS installed in a different slot? Well the answer is some Homebrew still requires it like Priiloaderand IOS236 is like a safefail you will never lose it due to it's high Revision number
If you want to use the latest version v14.5 use the IOS58+ method if you don't have IOS58 yet use this installer to grab it ---> http://goo.gl/RqjR you could use Dop-Mii to install IOS58 but im trying to make this as noob friendly as possible as i know how i was in the beginning
If your Homebrew Channel is not using IOS58 please reinstall it using the hackmiiinstaller here ---> http://goo.gl/TddQ. Better homebrew compatibility with USB 2.0
Have you installed BootMii? if not you should. Have you installed Priiloader? if not you should.
Now that you should have IOS36(Patched)~IOS236~IOS249~IOS250. you can now use any of the above methods to install IOS21
The thing about IOS249rev17 is simply the last rev that supports Triiforce (VC~WiiWare Emulator) and can essentially load these Games through a USB Loader you can find the guide here ---> http://goo.gl/V7oUf this is a quick simple guidejust have IOS249rev17 installed and use IOS222 to load up VC/WiiWare titles. You can still have the latest IOS250 which is rev20b.
The reason you load these titles up by 222 is that they are on a FAT32 formatted drive. (if your using a WBFS formatted driver swap ASAP!) And rev17 is needed to load the Triiforce Emulator. It's like a shortcut you see the title in your USB Loader and you click on it as long as it's loading the game with IOS222 your good cause it's using IOS249 rev17 to load up Triiforce and then IOS222 to load the game. While IOS250 is used for other Wii games.
LoL alot of info i hope this all helps.
i think i have ios236 patched....it was included in modmii...
