PimpMyWii installs a modified system menu instead of a clean system menu. Because of this you cannot use Priiloader on it. Using it will lead to bricking.
To give you an idea, just few weeks ago someone use PimpMyWii to install FM 4.0. What PimpMyWii have done is that it install stub IOS60, IOS80, and modified system menu 4.0 running on IOS80. 4.0 is not designed to run on IOS80.
Pimp my Wii only upgrades to 4.1 but if you have System Menu 4.2 or 4.3 it will not down grade your Sys menu and I dont know where you got the idea about Pimp my Wii providing a Modifed System menu ,it does patch IOS and change the revision number to the current max value Which will show up as a Stub in DOP_Mii for example .
Maybe you need to read the Pimp my Wii Readme instead of making things up .
QUOTEHere is "Pimp My Wii", an homebrew that will install missing and outdated titles from your Wii console.
The program will detect missing or outdated IOS and check that you have the latest version of the Wii System Menu. It also checks if you have the latest versions of BC, MIOS and those channels : Wii Shop, News, Weather, Mii, Photo and Photo 1.1
If you don't have the latest versions of those titles, the program will download them, or read them from USB or SD to install them. When using this program, you will have all advantages from 4.1 cumulated from those of 3.2, and this without drawbacks !
Since 1.40, it also install cIOS 38 (249, 250) rev 19 and cIOS 202/222/223/224 rev5.
The homebrew is displayed automatically in english or french depending of your Wii's language. It is also compatible with NTSC-U, NTSC-J and PAL Wii consoles. (Korean Wii theoricaly compatibles but IOSes specific to this version will not be installed).

- Does it works without internet ? / I got errors during download, what can i do ?
It works without internet, you just need to put necessary wad files to the root of the SD card, or of a USB device in FAT32.
Follow this (french) tutoriel to get those files :
http://www.wii-info.fr/article-53-comment-...mios-chaine.htm
The necessary IOS are those, in their specific versions :
9 v1034, 12 v526, 13 v1032, 14 v1032, 15 v1032, 17 v1032, 21 v1039, 22 v1294, 28 v1807, 30 v2576, 31 v3608, 33 v3608, 34 v3608, 35 v3608, 36 v3608, 37 v5663, 38 v4124, 41 v3348, 50 v4889, 53 v5663, 55 v5663, 56 v5662, 57 v5919, 58 v6175, 60 v6174, 61 v5661, 70 v6687 and 80 v6944.
And thoses "stub" IOSes, within their specific versions : IOS4v65280, IOS10v768, IOS11v10, IOS16v512, IOS20v12, IOS51v4633 and IOS254v260.
If your Wii does not have any IOS with trucha bug (if your Wii is 3.4 from origin or more), you will need IOS15 v1031 and v257.
IOs must be named this way : IOSX-64-vY.wad, where X and Y are respectively the version and revision number.
To update the System Menu, you need the file RVL-WiiSystemmenu-vX.wad, where X is 448 for 4.1J, 449 for 4.1U, 450 for 4.1E and 454 for 4.1K.
For Wii Shop, you need RVL-Shopping-v20.wad
For bc, RVL-bc-v6.wad
For MIOS, RVL-mios-v10.wad
For other channels, XY-NUS-vZ.wad, where X is the "type", Y the number and Z the version. By example for Mii Channel it's 1000248414341-NUS-v6.wad
For the cIOS installation:
- cIOS 249 : IOS 38 rev 4123
- cIOS 250 : IOS 57 rev 5918
- cIOS 202 : IOS 60 rev 6174
- cIOS 222 : IOS 38 rev 3867
- cIOS 223 : IOS 37 rev 3869
- cIOS 224 : IOS 57 rev 5661
- I got the preloader, will it work ?
If you are not in 4.1 and if you accept the installation of this system menu, you will need to reinstall the preloader and the specifics hacks to this version. Follow this (french) tutoriel to install and configure preloader :
http://www.wii-info.fr/article-52-installe...e-preloader.htm
- I have the preloader and i got "system files are corrupted", what can I do ?
If you have the preloader, you must patch "ES_Identify" on the IOS used by this. For Wii 4.x, it's IOS60, else it's IOS 30. Leave the parameters by default if you don't know what you do.
- I have a custom theme, will it stay ?
If you change your Wii version, you will lose all themes and you will need to reinstall a compatible theme with the version of System Menu you have.
- I have cIOSCorp or equivalent installed (to read backup games from disc channel), what will happened ?
If you install IOSes, it will replace those installed by cIOSCorp and you will loose the ability to launch games via disc channel without modchip. But cIOSCorp isn't recommanded, you just need a loader like Neogamma to read backups. If you reinstall cIOSCorp, you will get your old IOS back then Pimp My Wii will tell you that they are outdated
- Should I upgrade my console to 4.1 ? I thougt I must stay to 3.2 ?
If you use this program to put your console to 4.1, you will have exactly the same advantages as a 3.2 Wii, but you will have the improvements of 4.1. You won't have any disadvantages to put your Wii to 4.1.
- Should I install all IOS asked ?
It is recommanded to install IOS indicated as "not present" and IOS 30, 34, 36 and 60. You should also leave parameters by default. If you install at least those, you will avoid most of problems.
- The other IOS, are they useless ?
For other IOS, patching them help launching Trucha Signed gamed on Wii with a modchip.
- I got a message saying that my Custom IOS is outdated, what can I do ?
