Any possible problems with doing that? Where do I get it, and do I just use the wad Manager?
Also, I don't really know very well what I'm doing, why would installing this cIOS fix my problem? Thanks.

Already googled a WAD.
No more heroes 2: Disc channel gives Error 001. Neogamma gives DVD read error 1136, softchip gives me an Exception in red, I can't make up what it says. Then it resets.
Testing old Sonic and the secret rings backup: DC works, Neogamma works, softchip giving me exception still. Softchip worked fine before I instaled this new cIOS.

EDIT: Tried Softchip R102, Sonic works now, NMH2 gives me another exception. Says :
"[-] No Boot Partition Found.
Exception: Wrong Offset"

I'm taking it that it was softmodded before the update?

Get a clean IOS34 wad (using NUS Downloader, enable pack->wad). You can install it with wad manager (make it use IOS250)

Hi - Just have a question regarding installing Bootmii as an IOS (cannot install into boot2)

My Wii is fully working OK and I have preloader installed but I have never installed bootmii and I thought it might be good to create a backup just in case for that rainy day.

Couple of questions.

Bootmii as an IOS installs into slot254?
Do I need to prep the SD card first or do I just install via hackmii?
Do I need any IOS on the root of the SD card or does the hackmii installer have all the code it needs for the install?

Once its done I just press the home button in the HBC to access the bootmii menu, I don't need any app on the SD card for this?

Thanks, just want to make sure, read a few doc's but I always like to confirm things before hand.

-----------

Never mind, bootmii as an IOS during install loads files to the SD card and then installs as an IOS
Bootmii done, backup made...

Does that quote have anything to do with your post?

Anyway, you install DVDx at the beginning (with the hackmii installer) and cIOSCORP at the end, after you installed a cIOS.
There is no such thing as MIOSCORP, since there is just one MIOS. The MIOS installer is included with cIOSCORP.

Sorry for asking noob questions..

Ok now Ive made all steps, but I have not installed priiloader & cIOSCORP.

I try to use 3 different loaders and I cant load 1 single DVDr game.

I did excactly every step as the guide said??


Neogamma tells me at start up:

Your cIOS has revison 17
To achieve best compability
use revision 13a(!) or 14

Press any button to continue

What do I do now??

if you cannot load backups from a dvd then you have a d3-2 drive. usb loading is your only option, which is a good thing IMO.

do not install cIOSCORP if you have a d3-2 drive.

if you do not have bootmii as boot2 then install priiloader as soon as possible.

    @Xdqwerty, Nice. Which operating system are you installing?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, windows 10 and some linux distro like linux mint
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    dualbooth
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Yeah, I'd recommend having another OS just in-case you want to play games.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least Linux doesn't contain spyware than what Windows has.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, cuz of lag?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No. Whenever you use the internet on Windows, Microsoft collects personal data and installs bloatware that isn't necessarily needed, such as Edge.

    Yes, you can debloat the operating system, but in some cases for me it just reinstalls them.

  • impeeza @ impeeza:
    @Xdqwerty yes, when you are installing Windows on the first steps you are asked for your current location, you MUST to select «international» so no bloatware is installed, because the bloatware is location based. if this night I have some time I will setup a VM and take screenshots.
