Some clarifications:
My old MIOS v6 hyper links pointed to MIOSv8.
There is only one MIOS version required. So just download what you can download.
The MIOS patcher will download MIOS and you can select the version to install.
It runs in GameCube mode. It runs not in Wii mode. It is started from Wii mode.
I meant that it takes early control of PowerPC part of MIOS. The ARM/Starlet part runs normally (except one Bit).
Theoretically it is possible to add Wii Remote or SD card support to ARM code, but there need to be very much code written. Don't expect this to be done. You need a GC controller and a GC memory card, if you want to save. You can play without a GC memory card.
I know a guy, who never saved game states. It was really painful to see him always starting from the beginning. I invoked him to use a memory card and he finally did save.
The MIOS patcher allows you to choose between 2 version:
1. MIOS with homebrew and DVD-R support.
2. MIOS with homebrew and DVD-R support and GC Backup Launcher included.
The second version can be started from Wii Backup Launcher 0.3 gamma and from the Wii disc channel (Rebooter from Backup Launcher 0.3 gamma).
I don't have tested it, but it should work with the CIOSCORP stuff. If the GC game is started from disc channel, the power off button will work. Otherwise it will only reset the Wii.
