The Homebrew Browser is a good place to get homebrew on your Wii. This is optional to install. Continue to site navigation We have many other tutorials that you might like. You can now use homebrew such as USB Loader GX and WiiFlow. In this case the installer will try to get those modules from the following IOS wads that must be placed on the root of your USB drive: IOS36-64-v3608.wad IOS58-64-v6176.wad. This version number is seen in decimal form in the filenames of IOS WADs on update partition (e.g. 'IOS9-64-v516.wad' for version 516 (decimal)). Converted to hex, that 516 becomes 0x0204, and can be read as '2.4' - IOS9, version 2.4. As a rule, an existing IOS will never have new features added to it, to protect binary compatibility. (thaT I DOWNLOAD TO THE WII ALL AT ONCE ) but i have 157 wad files i load aLL at once when modding my wii's all the Cios wads, d2x rev6 wads, ios wads, RVL etc. Is this ok or should i be instaling them in seperate batchs at a time? For all your Wii Needs. Wii Downloads Applications; Homebrew; Applications.
This page is intended to track changes in IOS ( the operating system that runs on Starlet) such as: added features, bug fixes, etc.It will also cover what different minor versions are known to exist.
Overview
The Title ID of the IOSes follow this convention '00000001-000000xx' where xx is the IOS number in hexadecimal.The 'IOS number' is best thought of as a 'Major' version number for the firmware, and probably corresponds to a specific version of Nintendo's (proprietary) SDK. For example, the version of the SDK used to compile Zelda: Twilight Princess probably was tailored to run on IOS9.
In general, IOSx0 is used for the system menu (IOS20, IOS30, IOS40, IOS50, IOS60, IOS70). IOSx1 seems to be used for Nintendo channels (e.g. Mail app icloud client host rejected access denied. IOS31, IOS51, IOS61).
Each IOS has a 16-bit version number in its TMD. This version number is seen in decimal form in the filenames of IOS WADs on update partition (e.g. 'IOS9-64-v516.wad' for version 516 (decimal)). Converted to hex, that 516 becomes 0x0204, and can be read as '2.4' -- IOS9, version 2.4.
All Wii Ios Wadsworth
As a rule, an existing IOS will never have new features added to it, to protect binary compatibility. This means that any updates for existing IOSes are only meant to fix bugs (generally, security bugs).
Future of IOS
As of late 2008, Nintendo has been replacing some versions of IOS with small non-functional 'place holder' IOSes. This is to prevent the reuse of the IOS 'slot' for software other than official Nintendo Software which utilized that IOS number.Nintendo can come back at a later date if necessary and 'reuse' an IOS slot at their own discretion by simply increasing the version number of the title and replacing it with a functional IOS once again. These IOSes have been marked as Mothballed on the table denoting that they could quite possibly be reused in the future if Nintendo decides to do so.
Version Table
| IOS Number | Minor(s) | Version Number(s) | Notes | NUS Availability | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IOS3 | 0.7.6, 255.0 | v1798, v65280 | Despite the version being 0.7.6 as seen in the SDK, the titleid is IOS3. IOS in beta used the IOS0 title id, then as it neared release they changed to IOS3. Later on it changed to IOS4 which is the first one that got shipped at retail. IOS3 is used in the factory and comes preinstalled as a stub on some wiis because of it; later version is a stub. The older version is lost but we know it exists because SDK. | Unavailable | Mothballed |
| IOS4 | 0.1, 0.3, 1.3, 255.0 | v1, v3, v259, v65280 | Previous versions only had minimal drivers (lacking KD, WL, WD, SSL), and were used during manufacturing. v3's timestamp is Aug 10, 2006; it was used by the Prelaunch System Menu present on pre-launch kiosk Wiis that shipped without a full System Menu. v259 was used on Korean Wiis at some point, although it is unknown what, if any, purpose it served. v1's existence is known through remnants in the Startup Disc NAND. v65280 is a stub; at one point, v3 was on CDN, likely by accident, but it was replaced with the stub version. | v65280 | Mothballed |
| IOS5 | 255.0 | v65280 | We only know it exists because it's listed in the SDK. The IOS5 going around the internet is a modded version of IOS21 and is not real, the legit IOS5 will probably never be found. IOS with the same titleid exists as stub on some Wiis, probably same situation as IOS3 above where it's used for factory titles or possibly due to the aforementioned hack distributed under the IOS5 title ID. | Lost | Never Released |
| IOS6 | ? | ? | We only know it exists because it's listed in the SDK. Will probably never be found. | Lost | Never Released |
| IOS7 | ? | ? | We only know it exists because it's listed in the SDK. Will probably never be found. | Lost | Never Released |
| IOS8 | ? | ? | We only know it exists because it's listed in the SDK. Will probably never be found. | Lost | Never Released |

Used by System Menu 1.0 and launch games. v513 is a lost pre-release version, listed in SDK. Version 1's internal timestamp is Aug 22 2006 13:46:28. v518 was at some point found on Korean Wiis. | v520, v521, v778, v1034 | Active |
| IOS10 | ?, 3.0 | ?, v768 | First 'stub' IOS. Origin of the shared contents used by all subsequent 'stub / mothballed' IOSes. Used as a System Menu IOS on devkits and used by the Japanese version of System Menu 1.0. | v768 | Mothballed |
