Hi, I modded my dad's wii so he could read backups and it worked well, with all games, Metroid/SMG2 and KE worked fine, but he installed some IOS to play sonic 4 and now it none of these games work... (sonic 4 works.)

I was wondering any of you has any ID on what IOS I need to reinstall?

I am about to go and use DOP-Mii 13 to reinstall patched ios53, and few others.

I don't have any 'patched' ios and i don't think you need any exepted for the ios above 200. Just download modmii and rehack your wii like a virgin one and all games should work fine.

It sounds like you are using DARKCORP, and your dad probably re-installed versions of some IOS's needed for WiiWare. Like Sao Mortel said, you don't need to have modified IOS's for DARKCORP/cIOCORP, but you also certainly do not need to remod your Wii entirely. If you are using backups from disc and not USB/SD, just make sure you have Waninkoko's or Herme's cIOS installed and boot the backups with NeoGamma. After this you might as well uninstall DARKCORP if it was somehow messing up your dad's ability to play WiiWare games.

I remember putting Cioscorp so he could launch from disc channel, so do I just reinstall that on his wii?

it was a long time ago... I let his wii on 3.0 I think.

I can't tell for sure because his wii is the first I ever softmodded entirely. it's been a while.

BTW thanks for the help guys, this place is always the most helpful place!

    @SylverReZ I don't get why that guy was arguing with you about missing a step on jailbreaking his New 3DS. There's no way he didn't skip something. It's practically bulletproof now if you follow the guide.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @anotherthing, Exactly. That guy doesn't clearly know on what he's doing, even though I provided clearly on what steps he should take to mod his 3DS.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    The types of people to be spoonfed step-by-step are those who typically use Reddit. Well, not all, but you get the idea. It's so simple that it doesn't take a rocket scientist to complete it within 5-10 minutes.
  • A @ anotherthing:
    It's so simple, I can do it to a console in a language I can't read.

    @JolllyBaker, WELCOME!!!
  • A @ anotherthing:
    You know what was harder than jailbreaking the Japanese consoles? Setting them up before jailbreaking.
  • JollyBaker @ JollyBaker:
    GoT game, so that's something
  • JollyBaker @ JollyBaker:
    i guess
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @anotherthing, Me too. I've watched video guides in another language, I can understand certain bits and watch them perform the job so that I can easily follow.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I bought my 3ds premodded cause I'm lazy
  • A @ anotherthing:
    Getting your user set up, the internet working, and so on is the hard part in jailbreaking the Japanese consoles. Especially with the 3DS ones where it does the 3D settings also.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    @K3Nv2 How much was it
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @anotherthing, Or region changing, with there being a chance of bricking if you aren't too careful. I just hate noobs sometimes let me tell you, they have likely never modded their console before or bothered with doing their diligence with research.

  • A @ anotherthing:
    All the Japanese ones still have that eShop issue, but they work and there is no eShop anymore, so.. Yeah.
  • JollyBaker @ JollyBaker:
    uh thanks i guess
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Like $200 at the time but had box and basically brand new

    just watching the game awards rn and double dragon is back

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mine was a LL easily region changed it
  • A @ anotherthing:
    @SylverReZ The only way I can see region changing it causing a brick is if you stop it in the middle of writing the CTRNAND of the new language.
  • JollyBaker @ JollyBaker:
    oh, solo leveling game
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @anotherthing, There's that as well, anything that involves modifying the system NAND.
