  • Custom IOS Module
    • This is merely a tool for developers to create their own custom IOS

This package contains the necessary basic tools and project files needed to create a custom IOS module and interact with it. This is perfect for running test code on the Wii’s IOS system. Sourcecode is delivered for all tools and projects. For compiling the ARM IOS code, devkitARM (arm-elf or arm-eabi) is needed. For compiling the PPC Wii code, devkitPPC and libOGC are needed. Package contents:

  • stripios: This is a tool that will take a tradional ARM ELF file and converts it into a format the IOS system understands.
  • iosmodule: This is the project which will create a custom IOS module.

In order to create a working IOS module, you must supply the fixed absolute memory addresses for the module to live in, in the linker script. Currently, it defaults to the memory addresses set by the DIP module from IOS31. To install a custom IOS module, you need to add it to the TMD of an existing IOS, and allocate it with an unused content id, or replace an existing one. Currently, the produced IOS module is tested by replacing the DIP module from IOS 31. This is done by letting patchmii install IOS 31 as IOS 254, and replacing the contents of the DIP module with the custom IOS module. The example main source file sets up a device called “/dev/haxx” and allows you to read/write to the IOS memory space (currently limited to the module’s memory space because it is running from usermode), and allows you to upload and execute custom code.

  • iostester: This is the project which will interact with the custom IOS module.

In the first step, a completely position independent ARM program is compiled, and the file arm.bin is produced. The ARM program is made position indepdenent by means of an global offset table (GOT), which the ARM program will automatically correct upon boot up. Then the arm.bin file is automatically added into the PPC program, so that it can upload it to the custom IOS module, and let it execute it from the IOS side.

  • cIOS Patchmii Installer v2.0
    • Note: This is not a Waninkoko release

This program will download IOS37 from the Nintendo update servers, patch it, and install it as IOS249–making a completely functional “clone” of Waninkoko’s cIOS. This process does not involve any system-critical parts of the system, and should be completely safe. Of course, however, this software comes with no warranty whatsoever.

Also, if this applications detects IOS249 installed, it will attempt uninstallation. So… You can run it once to install, run it again to uninstall. Pretty simple.

  • Gecko OS 1.06f
    • Update to Gecko OS now with Ocarina and Gamecube Mode

Things fixed.

Gamecube Games / Imports now supported (thanks bushing!) Date and Time issue fixed in games like Wii Sports, Brawl. Glitching games fixed, i.e Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, Metroid Prime 3 etc. Sound fixed in Twilight Princess when using Gecko OS, WiiRD SD Card bug fixed. Now you can still access the SD Card when using ocarina. Disabled Wiimote when going in GC mode to avoid battery drainage. Added.

Ocarina (thanks Link) Some Extra hook types. Turn Off and On Ocarina. Some backend features have been added. Things to note:

Ocarina just works as before, the codes need to be placed in the folder ‘codes’ on the SD card. Ocarina can be turned off in the config menu.

  • GCBooter v1.0
    • From emu_kidid comes a new bit of homebrew that’ll let you load GameCube games while in Wii mode. As the Wiibrew website describes it, GCBooter is “a simple application which allows anyone to boot their original GC games from Wii mode. It is region free and works from the homebrew channel.”

Here are the (very simple) instructions on how to use GCBooter:

Just copy the GCBooter folder into your /apps/ folder on your card and run it via the homebrew channel. Insert your GameCube disc and press A on the GameCube controller a few times.

Again, we suggest you consult the readme for installing and using this application. That said, the source code has also been included in this release, so those of you who want to learn from it can do so. Enjoy!

  • Wad Manager v1.2 & cIOS Downgrader v1.2
  • Waninkoko has come out of vacation and back to releasing updates to his applications. Thanks Waninkoko. See changes below

Wad Manager v1.2

– If a Custom IOS is detected, the WAD Manager automatically loaded for 

  able to take advantage of its benefits.
  • cIOS Downgrader v1.2

– If you install a data system or a console device needed for its funcionamientoFirmware of different region without changing the region 

  the console, get a semibrick.

  I recommend changing the region of the console to match the
  Data region of a console system or device needed for its funcionamientoFirmware and avoid future problems.

  • AnyRegion_Changer v1.1
    • AnyRegion Changer is an application which allows you to change various region and language settings on your Wii. It also allows you to install the System Menu of another region if you so desire.

A full description of this utility can be found in the README file.

  • Changelog

1.1:

  • Minor fix to sysconf lib (Should fix some -24578 errors)
  • Changed Identification Routines
  • Added System Menu Region detection
  • Added intro screen/extra warnings

  • AnyRegion_Changer for Wii
    • This program will let you edit any and all of the region information on your Wii, and allow you to install System Menu 3.2 from any region if you so desire. The setting changes are the result of a setting change library I’ve been working on for a while called sysconf.c. The System Menu Installer uses patchmii as a simple base for web installations. It also uses some

IOS patches (by bushing/waninkoko) in the event that the system menu or IOS30 needs to be downgraded. The Setting changes have been tested again and again, and the worst you can do to your system is cause a semi-brick. The System Menu Installer is done in a way even safer than Waninkoko’s Downgrader, so there’s certainly no worries there.

Country Codes: A near-complete listing of country codes can be found at: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Country_Codes

Precautions:

Please take note of the following: -If setting.txt is corrupted for any reason, it is entirely possible that your Wii will no longer boot. -Be careful not to change Video mode to a mode unsupported by your display. -If you change your Country code, you will be unable to receive any pending gifts you have in the Wii Shop Channel. (The shop will also warn you of this) -If you set the EULA to Read, you may be accessing Nintendo Network Services illegally. You should only change this setting to “read” if you have actually read and accepted the EULA for the Country code you have set.

  • libdi and the DVDX installer.
    • A very first full proof DVD player has been released for the Wii. It combines the functions of MplayerWii and is the first FULL media center for the Wii.
  • "As you all know, I’ve been working on libdi (or the DVD Access library) for a while now. We had some problems getting it out to release because of the difficulties we encountered while writing the second part of this topic. The DVDX installer instead will install a small, hidden, channel on your Wii that allows you to read DVDs on an unmodified system. It is not an installer for a patched IOS. You may however need one, depending on your system.

Usage of this package is fairly simple. Run the installer.dol found in the package, follow the onscreen instructions, and you’re done".

"Once you’ve done that, you can enjoy the splendor of mplayer. That what started out as a simple proof of concept has rapidly turned into a full-featured media player, under the nourishing hands of dhewg. The main aim of the mplayer project was to get DVDVideo going, but it also supports reading video files off the SD card". (Experimental).

"A patch for Wii64, the N64 emulator for the Wii, will also be available shortly. This patch will allow you to read games off a DVD".

  • Debug by USBGecko
  • RegionFree for Channels
  • RegionFree for discs
  • Remove the screen heatlhsafety (which appears at the launch of the Wii)
  • No music on screen

  • Bushing and Co. releases Open-Source Apploader, ISO template

- This application allows the user to run homebrew from a dvd disks. No this is not a softmod, this program only works on hardmodded wiis. This app also requires Gecko region free 3.2 or higher and Trucha Signer. The app is in ISO format, unfortunately, apparently both WiiScrubber and some versions of Trucha Signer have problems opening the ISO. As far as I know the ISO is valid (it certainly boots and works with our tools), so I’m going to assume that this is a bug in those applications that will need to be fixed.

  • A new version of Wii scrubber has also been released that I’m told works fine with this template. The old one had trouble detecting it as a Wii disc, as it used the DiscID’s first character which isn’t the more common “R” in this ISO. For future reference, the best way of distinguishing a Wii image from a Gamecube image is probably using the disc magic instead (this is what IOS uses).
