Wii Shop and IOS51 Installer v2

[Gamer]

If I do install this IOS... and then a game with the new 3.3 update comes out, it still will ask to update? (i mean, this could bypass the new update?)

Also, can this be uninstalled if i ever i want to?

Thanks!

If you don't use the shop channel what's the benefit of this?

Geeze.. I've been reading up too much that I'm now officially confused. I still want to run Mplayer to play some tv episodes that I missed over the week. I also want to keep the option open to install wads to test out before getting them off the wiishop. So that's three things that I'd like to keep open: Mplayer, Wiishop access, and WadInstaller. I'm getting everything confused as to what I need to do before I can install Toda's (correct?) and how to install it. So, here's what I have: I have the original 3.3U update when it first came out (remember, they didn't change the version number). I also have the MarioKart update (since it insisted to do some sort of an update before playing it--after the 3.3 update, no clue what this one did/provided, as I was able to (un)install wads). I have no cIOS. Everything is still authentic to reduce brick issues. A tutorial could be nice, but what do I need as far as any prerequisites?

Basically , if you installed the latest update released by nintendo , you can no longer install anything else from then on.

If you havent and want to continue to install new things in the future , you cannot install the update from nintendo and you need to use the one from Toda or Muzer instead which is the same update but it doesnt block future installs.

Its pretty simple - i dont know why people are getting confused.

Piece of cookie to install from the previous update (twilight hack block)

I didn't update with the latest but this worked and I can go to the Shop Channel

Thanks to all involved.

***newb alert*** i was running 3.2 with all the stuff to run 0.1 loaders and i tried muzers v2, now i cant update to new 0.3 and the old loaders wont work, am i screwed?

 

[coolbho3000]

Yey.. everyone knew this would happen

Now, couldn't this bring problems in future Nintendo updates? Let's say.. Nintendo brings up update 3.5 required to run Punch-Out or something, and that update assumes that you have everything from 3.4 installed already, couldn't it result in incompatibility problems!?

Seems to me that we're starting to go in the same road as the PSP..

Nintendo has only required IOSes to be installed for games, not system menus. As long as we continue to install the required IOSes without patching the signature hash bug out of the old ones, it's fine.

Okay, my Wii system menu says it has 3.3E (PAL), but I haven't updated since last sunday. Am I correct to assume that I can still install the Homebrew channel and such, without problems - as long as I don't do a system update now after the 22nd? This is just a patch, from Nintendo's side, for 3.3 right?

I haven't modified my Wii in any way, so far, no homebrew channel, no chip, nothing. But I am interested in installing the Homebrew channel in the future - is this still possible as long as I haven't updated this week and keep opting out of the updates? And as soon as I install the homebrew channel and stuff, I can manually install the wii shop channel from there, bypassing these fixes from Nintendo?

Seriously, Nintendo is stupid with their timing, AGAIN.

Could you imagine what they could have done if they did it at the proper time, say MM9's release?

to you Nintendo.

No benefits. It's only to get the shop channel update without doing the rest of the update, which break some homebrew stuff.

Even if you are using Wiiware/Virtual Console games, as long as you don't buy them from the shop channel, you don't need this update;

But if you are using the shop channel to buy games and such, since now, you should have the update installed if you want to use it again.

Sounds simple, but I have not installed any home brew etc on my Wii. I loaded WiiMusic and took the update which was 3.3 but not the the new 3.3. can I still downgrade or installed the modded firmware updates??

Fast question:

AC:CF will probably use the newest update.
If we install the IOS and shop channel, will the game think that I have the latest update and let me start the game or will it ask me to update?

 

[TyrianCubed]

hey,I have already installed the shop update and IOS51 installer v1 by Muzer,should I uninstall those and install the v2 or I can simply install the v2 and it'll overwrite the v1?
plus, should I use the installer by toonas to get the v2 (either if I have to previously uninstall the v1 or not)?

When trying to run the CIOS update, the network apparently initializes OK, then I get an "Error making http request" message (plus "Failed to allocate temp buffer for encrypted content") and it exits back to the Homebrew Channel.

Tried both Muzer's and Tona's versions. Don't have any GC memcards or controllers plugged in. Tried multiple times at different times of day over two days in case it was Nintendo's servers. Normal WiFi stuff works fine (like the Homebrew Browser). This is on a PAL Wii, by the way (32E).

I got the same error with PatchMii and similar apps in the past and never found a way to fix it, had to download the files manually instead. Any way I can manually download the files needed for the CIOS 51 fix? Thanks!

Just wanna know too... anyone?

I mean, this is a way to bypass the update or still will ask you to?

Thanks

 

[bdcool187]

Hmm.... after I installed both of the files, I went to play Smash Bros Brawl and instead of the game showing up on the disc menu it asked me if I wanted to update. Is that normal?

From what i know, the IOS51 custom update will allow you to update your console to the current version while leaving the other fixes that Nintendo released behind (ex. stopping homebrew,loader,ect).
It shouldnt ask you to update being that it will see you are current.

If you have not installed the recent update you will be fine. If you do need the update for the Wiishop, use Tona's Installer.
You may also need this update for playing future games that require it.

Most people i know are using Tona's right now. There is also an updated version that is made especially for homebrew installation.

 

[Siouxsie]

Thanks, Mainframe =) I'll try Tona's installer then, if I can find it, 'cause I still like to buy the odd WiiWare/VC game.
