"First, use WiiScrubber to open up the Wii Backup Disc, and extract IOS16-64-v257-prod.wad
This file can be found by clicking the + sign next to "Partition:1 - UPDATE", and then the + sign again next to _sys
Right click on this filename, and click on "Save as" and save it to a WADS directory on your SD card.

After that, use Wad Manager v1.3 to install this wad - it is NOT trucha signed, but it IS ('semi') legal, so it WILL install without a prior cIOS.
To clear this up, having the wad is not legal, as it is copyrighted code from nintendo, but it is signed by nintendo, so it installs without an issue.

Finally, use Wad Manager that was recoded by Davi92 to work off of IOS16 to install the cIOS_fix (hopefully that is the filename in the included zip - djtaz correct me if I'm wrong), and you are on your way again!

From here you can choose to run Waninkoko's downgrader.

NOTE: if you are trying to run Any Title Deleter to delete IOS51, you must first obtain copies of at least IOS30 and IOS36 from a Wii game (such as Wii Music or the new Guitar Hero) using the same method with WiiScrubber. From here you can install WiiGator's Backup Loader 0.3 with the corresponding cIOS released with it (v6).

"Wii Shop and IOS51 installer is a very quick modification of PatchMii modified by Muzer that does one thing: It installs the new IOS51 and Wii Shop Channel, without installing the patches to all the other IOSes. This means that as long as you didn’t update, you can now install this to use the Wii Shop Channel but keep all the benefits of not having the update.

 

 

 

Anybody at all could have made this, just everyone is too busy at the moment, so I figured I would make it. It’s literally modifying 4 lines of code and commenting out a bunch of stuff. Because of this I didn’t bother to include the source in the package, but if anyone wants me to, I’ll happily include it.

 

 

 

This does not have the same effects as updating, so you get the best of both worlds.

 

 

You can do this on any system menu version and it will work fine, keeping the system menu version you have.

 

 

 

I made the program as two separate dol files, because it’s easier and quicker for me that way, if this lasts a while I’ll make a version that combines the two files.

 

 

 

NOTE: TAKE OUT ANY GAMECUBE MEMORY CARDS/CONTROLLERS AND USB DEVICES BEFORE INSTALLING ANYTHING. The first time one person installed the IOS51, and Shop Channel. One person had a Gamecube memory card, and a wireless adapter in the Wii, and it didn’t install correctly. But after taking out all Gamecube items, re-installed everything and it worked fine. Axelpaxel was the one that found that USB devices did it too.

 

 

 

Instructions: Simply load one file, then the other. It does not matter in which order you load them. Use any method.

Update: Matthew_8 has kindly repackaged my app into a more noob friendly version which is formatted for the homebrew channel."

Nintendo has released Firmware Update 3.4. Here is the changelog from the update:

3.4 Change Log:

* Wii Points will soon be called Nintendo Points, and all references as such will be updated. All other functionality with Nintendo Points will remain the same.
* The controller usage explanation screen will be updated.
* The controller usage explanation screen will be separated from the purchase screen. Along with this, the user will be prompted to confirm that they have any necessary accessories before being able to press the Purchase button.
* The design of the icons displayed will be updated.

 (From users at NES-Hacks) The latest unconfirmed info is as follows:

• Installed WADS will still work as long as you dont use WAD manager (Channels will disappear)
• Homebrew Channel still works but some apps wont
• Modchips are NOT affected
• Backup Loader still works
• GeckoOS still works
• You CANNOT install WADs after you update to 3.4
• Region Changer will NOT work
• Downgrader will NOT work

It is recommended that you not update until a patch has been released.

Looks like a beta tester of Waninkoko's Wii Backup Loader has leaked the software.

This software has NOT been tested and is advised not to use until a full release is made.

As always, if anyone does try this please let us know if it works.

The Wii scene is growing........

UPDATE: As a result of the leak, Waninkoko has expressed his anger with GBATemp and announced that he has abandoned the project and will no longer be producing any new versions of this app.

UPDATE 2: Since the project has been abandoned and there will not be a new version here are the tools necassary to attempt. We take no responsibility for anything that happens to your console. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Step 1.

Install the CIOS36_rev5-64-v1042.wad

Step 2.

Install the DVDX .dol into your apps and setup via Homebrew Channel

- Click advanced and set it to 249

Step 3.

Create a folder on your SD card in the apps folder and name it Wii Loader (Or whatever else you want) and put dvd-back.dol in there.

Step 4. Make sure that "backup-creator.exe" , "common-key" and what .iso you are wanting to backup is in the same folder.

- Drag the ISO over the "backup-creator.exe" This will create a new iso called partition.iso

Burn with IMGBurn

Step 5.
Go to Homebrew Channel on the Wii and load the Wii Loader backup-dvd.dol file you did earlier and launch.

It will ask to insert a Wii disc. Insert your backup. Your backup should load.

This has all the tools necassary to start from scratch (Twilight hack, homebrew channel, DVDX, and Wii Backup Loader).

Happy Labor Day!!!

Apple has just released iPhone firmware 2.0.1 which seems to address many of the problems users faced with the new 2.0 firmware. Here is what users have been saying who have updated to 2.01:

Again, it is reported that Pwnage Tool does NOT work with the new firmware. If you have your iPhone unlocked or jailbroken DO NOT update as it will remove them.

Please leave feedback if you do update and let us know what your experience is.

"Share your iPhone's EDGE or 3G Internet connection with your computer using NetShare. NetShare provides a SOCKS5 proxy for your computer to connect to."

So basically what this does is turn your iPhone into a wireless modem for your laptop to connect to the internet when there is not a connection around. There are still some bugs to work out in the software but it is looking very promising. It is currently being sold for $9.99 on the AppStore. If anyone tries it out, please post your feedback and let us know what you think.
