Hello,
I started this thread in hope to shed some light on the IOS files that people
keep asking about in hope that after this thread the questions like
"I thought CIOS and IOS36 are the same thing!" will be eradicated.
(I recommend that you do not install soft-mods before reading this)
So IOS Breakdown:
CIOS rev7, rev8 and rev9 = a modified IOS36 that installs to your system as IOS249.
(this allows the playing of backup discs)(installing any revision of CIOS will overwrite an old one)
IOS36-64-1042 = an original IOS36 from system firmware 3.2 that allows unsigned code to run.
(system menu 3.2 doesn't run from IOS36 but this file that is used by all loaders and installers is from 3.2)
IOS60 Trucha patched = an IOS60 file from menu 4.0 that has been modified to run unsigned code.
(allows the running of VC/Wiiware games and Custom Channels from SD card on 4.0)
IOS37 Trucha patched = a modified IOS37 that installs as either 248 or 232 on your system.
(mainly used to run guitar hero and rockband under softchip and backuplauncher, the game needs to be patched to use either 248 or 232)(thanks Arek1985)
IOS222 = kwiirks's modified IOS36 that installs on your system as IOS222 to use his USB2.0 features and run games from USB HDD(rev9 CIOS does the same)
(this is only required when installing USB2.0 for other apps or making Homebrew Channel loaders for individual games using wbfs tools)
I will add more if need be!
NOTE: These are mainly for soft-modding the Wii and aren't ones that are required for NEW or retail games. (only CIOS is required to run backups)
