Nice, I see DVD support!

[ DESCRIPTION ]:

- This is a Custom IOS, an IOS modified to add some new features
not available in the official IOS.

This IOS has been made to be used ONLY with homebrew software.

The Custom IOS installs as IOS249 and it does not modify any other
IOS so it is secure to install.


[ REQUISITES ]:

- "IOS37-64-v2070.wad" original WAD file.


[ HOW TO INSTALL IT ]:

- Copy "IOS37-64-v2070.wad" file to the root of a SD card.
- Insert the SD card on your Wii.
- Run the installer.

i dont get it, what does it do? :S

Edit: I see the list, but...what extra features? It seems pointless :/

 

[WB3000]

cIOS is a custom homebrew-only IOS. There is also an unistaller if you choose to remove it. A DVD dumper has been created, which uses this IOS to dump games to the front SD.

But homebrew can already do that, no? If this doesnt add usb loading of channels etc, what really is the point at the moment? Sure it could be great in the future, but i see no reason to use this as it stands.

 

[callmebob]

This (looks) like BIG news!!

Would this be equivelent to FW??

Regardless, I´m sure this will be very important in the future!

 

[Jiggah]

Don't have my Wii with me. What are the new features?

 

[WB3000]

But homebrew can already do that, no?

No. The DVD drive has always been offlimits to a non-modded Wii. Having a modded IOS makes reading the drive possible. I'm not sure what the other features are, it will probably be updated with some more as time progresses.

Cool.. but.. what can we do with this?

doesnt that do it?

doesnt that do it?

Yes, but that is distributed with a very similar modified IOS. Same concept as this, just released a bit earlier. I suspect this is safer as well, as it comes with an uninstaller.

 

[kokiri_link]

Ah i see. So, what other features does this have that are noteworthy? Does the menu still look the same?

There are no visible changes, this IOS is just placed into the flash memory for homebrew use. Primarily, this will allow homebrew to dump DVDs, or even allow emulators to access DVDs of ROMs, etc.

 

[DarkLG]

Could someone try this to see if it does load dvdrs with roms in them?

 

[Trolly]

Very cool news. Does this mean we can now read homebrew off DVD-Rs? For those of us who don't have chipped Wiis that is.

Some news for you people... this custom IOS is illegal, full stop. Wanky uses copyrighted Nintendo code for it. To quote marcan directly:

waninkoko officially failed with his patch. he included 2MB of Nintendo code in it because he slapped some random code together and doesn't understand encryption, IOW, it's completely illegal, with or without the original IOS37 wad.

Might want to get it taken down ASAP before... say, Nintendo find out.

Nintendo should be able to disable in no time. Just a check if there is a IOS with that number and do a full delete of that files. (Don't kill me if I'm wrong)
Seeing that It's Illegal (and things like that can kill a homebrew scene , look at the old xbox (1) ) we have to wait for someone to write his own code. Maybe somebody makes a DVD player for Wii. =)

I thought without a modchip inserting DVD's destroys the laser...

Version 02 is out, this time without copyright code.
