Hacking MIOS help

[tylerzentz]

So I patched/modded my MIOS to try to play downloaded Gamecube backups but I decided I'm just going to purchase the Gamecube games instead. Now I want to restore the MIOS to it's original factory default state. Could I do this by putting my NAND backup (which I made before modding) back onto my Wii? If not, is there any way to get the original MIOS back?

Or just use the wad manager to install the regular MIOS.

Are there different versions of factory default MIOSs or is there only one universal version that all Wiis use?

Just use NUS Downloader to download a wad of MIOS and install it with wad manager. Any version will do If you don't know how to do this, just restore the bootmii backup. It's a bit overkill, but it'll work.

Note: You need Bootmii as boot2 to restore safely. People have reported bricking when they restore using Bootmii as an IOS.

ok so after I install a MIOS wad how do I choose between running Gamecube games from that MIOS wad instead of my modded MIOS/cMIOS
