When the Wii gets a new system menu IOS, they make the old one a stub to save space and it also hurts hackers because it will never anyone who does only official updates. This stub has no functioning stuff on it and just overwrites the old one. So a normal update can stub you but not if you haven't downgraded or installed a stub above your current system menu IOS before.

These upgrade guides grab the latest version of the IOS which is the stub and they use this for the system menu.

Are you positive IOS60 wasn't already installed, beforehand ?

I don't know for sure, but i think SM 3.4 doesn't have a IOS60. The Wii was never on a higher version.

Mmm I don't know if Waninkoko's 4.1 updater qualifies to go on this because I think it just gives you an error if it doesn't see an IOS60 already installed in the first place, but better safe than sorry. I think I still mention it in my guide so I'll change that ASAP.

Edit: Can everything be updated with dop-IOS MOD alone? All IOS's and the system menu itself?

By installing the latest version of IOS60 (v6400)
Basically, that version is no more than garbage


OK, so all this apps get the "LATEST" IOS60 instead of the good version..?? like if I use 4.1 updater again, or 4.0 updater..?? is there a patched IOS60 we can install beforehand to avoid this bricks..??
huh.gif



P.S. lots of questions, right..?? lately I'm digging on the NDSi flashcards scene..!!

Yes, either get IOS60 v6174 from NUS and install with DOP-IOS MOD with the patch or use the version included with xzxero's guide. The best method is looking to be updating all IOS directly through DOP-IOS MOD without the assistance of any faulty precompiled updaters though.

Well, you COULD say that WUFE can cause bricks if not used properly. My Wii is bricked because I used WUFE to extract update files from Animal Crossing: City Folk, and I installed one named "RVL-Sysmenu v?" and now my Wii is bricked. Oh, also it was a wad file too.

I guess I'm asking if anyone can help fix this. :3?

I'm running system menu 4.0 and i updated the IOS to 61 to allow the new wii shop channel. Is there any way I can patch IOS61 to allow wad installs without bricking the wii??

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
