Hacking system update 9/7/2010

[mike333]

which means, when that IOS is loaded, HW_AHBPROT will be set for HW access from PPC. Not that the installer works using HW_AHBPROT.

Thanks for testing it on wii.

I didn't test it on any Wii. I have never used anything Waninkoko has made, and don't really intend to either. Only possible exception would be WAD Manager for custom channels. Anyway, I'm getting off topic.

Won't work for fakesigned titles, which would include custom channels.

Alright, I've been watching this topic and I'm a n00b here.

I downloaded and installed IOS56 v5662 on my wii....

Now what? Shop Channel still says I need to update and NUS Downloader hasn't been updated yet....

 

[SargeSmash]

Only thing I really want to know is if it's safe to update normally. The only thing I'm running is the newest Homebrew Channel (1.0.8) and BootMii installed in boot2. And I have a backup of my NAND, which should reflect everything but my current progress in Other M. Does it wipe those, or does it work pretty much like the update that was on the Other M disc?

 

[BobTheJoeBob]

The update doesn't wipe save files or anything. Only anything associated with homebrew.

 

[SargeSmash]

Sorry, sentence structure wasn't entirely clear. The only reason I brought up saves is to reflect the newness of my backup. I'm asking if the update wipes Homebrew Channel and BootMii.

What affect this or any update will have on your Wii depends on your current Wii state. Any FW (firmware) files that are missing or are older than what Nintendo has on there servers will get updated.

The latest HBC (Homebrew Channel) version, 1.0.8, should survive the update as the SM (System Menu) has not been updated to delete the new Title ID for it yet. Whether or not BootMii installed as Boot2 will get overwritten will depend on what you Boot2 version is. If you have a version of Boot2 earlier than Boot2v4 then your Boot2 will get updated and the BooMii patch will get overwritten.

If you do not know what state your Wii NAND is in, you can either use SysCheck to generate a report and decide whether or not to update via Nintendo's method, or update your Wii manually using a program like ModMii.

I'm waiting for an updated Dop-Mii, non-WiiBrew branch of course

It's a whole lot easier than downloading WADs from NUSD, and then installing them manually or using a complete overhaul solution like ModMii. Dop-Mii is a nice one-stop shop solution that way.

BTW: Not having read anything concrete, nor having updated yet, can anyone confirm if those Korean IOSes are stubs?

Just updated my IOS56 and Shop Channel, working fine on 4.2.

EDIT: Using DOPMii WiiBrew Edition of course.

Nah, just used it because i dont know why.... But on a side note, it seems to install titles faster than other solutions do.

Thanks for the info.

For those who have problems getting Shopping Channel v20: You can also manually type in the version number.

 

[dn_angel000]

I just updated 2 SM 4.3 4 the Hell of it! lol

 

[thesund0g]

This actually makes me think they may have introduced (or are planning to introduce) some new features in the shop. I'm suspecting a new shop capability for the upcoming holiday season. This is the time of year that retailers, and surely developers, start to really push internally for Christmahannukwanzaakawhatever.

I mean, surely this wasn't just an AP measure -- they would have rolled a new SM for that. No obvious improvements? Didn't stop them from the last 3 revs.

Edit: Granted, the Trucha fix hit IOS37 before anything else, but N seems to roll fixes simultaneously across IOSes now. Please correct me if I'm wrong here, I don't follow WiiImpersonator religiously.

if bootmii in boot2 is wiped, just run the hbc installer to install it again.

i havent even checked the shop channel files but i wouldnt be suprised if there are stuff all changes at all (besides using ios56 now)

The previous shop channel update from v18 to v19 contained these outstanding changes (besides the .tmd and .tik)

1 - 1 byte changed from 18 to 19 to reflect version
2 - the build version of the wad in the banner file from shopping_AEJ.0910011049 to shopping_AEJ.1004131443

every other single piece of data was identical

edit: well this time there are actually changes in the dol/elf files yay
