One magical day all my wad installed WiiWare and Virtual Console games I have in my SD card just suddenly stopped working. I got a launching failed error for every single one. I then tried to install the wads again but would get an error as well. I then tried moving the games from my SD card to my Wii menu and that failed as well. I came across the app Pimp My Wii which claimed to perform tests on your Wii's IOS and determine if it's up to date then install those updates. I figured if there was something wrong this app may be able to fix it.
I gave it a try and doesn't install or fix anything. This is what I get.

The MIOS is outdated (v4 instead of v10). It seems you have a custom MIOS installed. If you upgrade the cMIOS to a "normal" MIOS, you won't be able to play backup Gamecube games. *Don't know exactly what it's suggesting for me to update my cMIOS or upgrade to normal MIOS? Either way I have Gamecube backup's I still want to play.
Photo Channel outdated v2 instead of v3
EULA outdated v2 instead of v3
So uh....what's the best way to go about this? It seems as though I have a lot to update which I'd rather not have to do manually which is why I tried this app that was supposedly very successful for other people but it won't work for me. Perhaps if I reinstall IOS41 the network installation might work?
