can I to please get CIOSCORP pack ?

Also, will this work on 3.4 firm? I have 3.4 working perfect with the gamma loader but i like this better.
 
I have a question, the cIOS files can be replaced anytime with the original IOS files right??
Can someone PM me the link to download the files too???

Maybe Wiiblaster wont do that for me, because i have only a few posts
 
They'll send em to anybody. you prolly have 4 or 5 links by now in you pm's. Just remember you do this at your own risk. If you brick don't come back crying, lol. but seriously i think with the excpetion of future updates this is brick safe... I advise against doing this on 3.4 however, because then if you do get a partial brick you are screwed as you can't update to 3.3 or 3.4 and have the disc replace your files. 3.2 uses IOS30 for Sysmenu 3.4 uses IOS50. So i would STRONGLY advise downgrading before doing this. Also 3.4 has no brick protection as there is no starfall support for it.
 
Thanks I will wait for those 4 or 5 links

but the cIOS can be replaced at anytime right?.
the only thing to do this is to install the original IOS or im wrong?
For example: if i install cIOS 30 i can replace this with the original IOS without risk?

He said "usual suspects", so i guess he has coasters.

PS:
Here is the list with the games i think you _could_ have problems with, when you replace all IOS on your wii:
- games from another region
- MLB power pros 2008
- Summer Sports 2
- SSBB DVD9 version
- (Sam & Max Season 1)
- (Far Cry Vengeance)

ALL other games should work with this method, if not, they are most likely coasters

MLB Power Pros 2008
Sam and Max Season1

Work fine for me with the CIOSPAK,
 
Hmm, I got a bit of an unrelated question:

Specifically I'm having trouble packing up a backup wad of IOS9 from the FS Dump I did on my friend's Wii. I'm using the correct title.tmd and ticket... and I have the 00000001.app file in the wadpacker directory as well (I'm using Blaze's tool). It's only adding the 00000001.app (nothing from SHARED1... if I delete SHARED1 from MyDoc/wii the result is the same), but the wad I'm getting seems to be way too large (3043Kb). That's not the right size is it?

Everything else I've packed (IOS's and sysmenu) has come out just fine. Any insight here would be much appreciated, as I'd really like to be able to completely revert his wii to its previous state and I can't find an IOS9v516 wad anywhere. I tried wufe on a couple old discs (TP and wiisports) and it's not on there either.
 
[shakes head]

people who want true disc channel loading really just need a chip.

messing with EITHER the system menu or the IOS it runs off is not something to be taken lightly.

if its worth the risk to you fine.

theres ways nintendo could purposefully or accidentally brick your wii if you do this,

AND in theory you could corrupt system data that you don't even know about.

fair warning, how much is disc channel loading really worth?
 
Woohoo! Add another one to the list!
All working 100%

Thx to everyone who pm'd me the links and info.
Keep up the good work!
 
I want to try this on a 3.4 wii. I know the risks, but I have 2 of them. If someone could pm me a way to do it for 3.4 would be great.
 
After throwing around information about Multi-cIOS-Installer and the CIOSCORP pack for the past couple hours I got to thinking.

On my SD card I have IOS36 and IOS37 stored in their 00000001/00000024 and 00000001/00000025 folders respectively. By looking at the path I'm going to assume that 00000024 being the hex value of 36 that all of the IOS will be stored in a folder 8 digits long and numbered in HEX code to match the IOS number.

Now when I use MCI and install an IOS using either of these two IOS versions they of course install from the SD, reporting "downloading from SD"
When I use MCI to install an IOS using either 33 or 55 they install from the internet, reporting "downloading from internet" because I dont have those 2 on my SD

What I want to do is have all of the IOS 9-55 in their perspective folders on my SD. Then I want to have a version of MCI that can install any version as any other. Excluding the system menu IOS and any other IOS we might find that needs to be left alone. (only time will tell)

So what I would like to know is..... so that I don't have to manually download all those IOS components (about 20 per IOS) what utility will extract those components from the IOS wad files for me, assuming they are all in the wad file.
