NOTICE
ModifiesConsole.png
This homebrew application makes permanent changes to the Wii's NAND, thus, this application should be used with caution.

It is recommended to have a NAND backup with either BootMii as boot2 or Priiloader with BootMii as IOS installed before proceeding with the usage of this application.

** WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM TO CHANGE YOUR SYSTEM MENU VERSION! It is buggy and unmaintained. Its bug tracker is full with people who bricked their console by using it! **

It's DOP-Mii: WiiBrew edition!

Install IOS', System Menu and Channels all with the same familiar interface and without the option of patching or the forced need to have a patched IOS to use the program.

History

Things all started with how Dop-IOS let you install other IOSes, but used IOS249 exclusively to do so. As IOS249 is primarily a cIOS used for piracy, many people felt a certain resentment toward it's exclusivity on which the authors have no comment.

A better solution for all users would've been to allow users to select which IOS they use to install other IOSs. This is why DOP-IOS MOD was created.

Since fulfilling its original purpose, DOP-IOS MOD has brought many new and improved features to it's Dop-IOS base (or "core" if you will). Eventually, it became less and less of a port and more and more of a unique creation.

The name was changed to Dop-Mii in compliance with the v12 overhaul of the application since the application had long lost it's Dop-IOS similarity and code base.

The project was then branched into a version specifically for WiiBrew which excludes needs and features non-compliant with WiiBrew's policy.

Features

  • Works completely online or offline (supports many offline formats such as WAD for offline installation)

Warning

This application has the ability to brick your Wii if misused. If this occurs, YOU are responsible because you used the application. The authors take no responsibility for any harm done to your Wii by this application.

IOS Menu Changes

  • You can now select what version of an IOS you want to install. Including Stubbed IOSes if you want to revirginize your Wii.
    • NOTE: Just because the option is available to install any IOS version. Not all Wiis will support the lower IOS versions.
  • Uninstall IOS feature

  • IOSes can now be installed into empty Slots. To perform the install Hold A then press +.

Channels Menu

  • Can now be installed via WAD. Menu will tell you the WAD Filename it requires. If the Channel requires 2 different titles it will display both WAD filenames.

System Menu

  • You can now upgrade or downgrade to ANY System Menu version.
    • NOTE It is not recommended to downgrade below 3.2 if you have a newer Wii. Rule of thumb is if you can't install BootMii as Boot2 then you should not go below 3.2.
  • Installer will check to make sure you have the correct IOS with the correct IOS Version installed before installing the selected system menu. If the IOS is not installed, it will prompt and install the IOS.
  • If Priiloader is installed, it will temporarily backup Priiloader. It will prompt you at the end of the System Menu installation if you would like to restore Priiloader.
  • Can now be installed via WAD. Menu will tell you the WAD Filename it requires. If IOS is required it will also provide the IOS WAD filename.

Boot2 Menu

  • Yes there is now Boot2 Upgrade Support. We were requested to add it in. I would like to give a special thanks to Bushing for providing me the ES_ImportBoot code to ensure that Boot2 gets updated properly. If you are already at Boot2v4 you will not get the option to upgrade as you are already at the latest version.
    • NOTE: If you have BootMii installed as Boot2. Beyond our control it will wipe it out. You will need to reinstall BootMii as Boot2 after Boot2 has been upgraded.
    • NOTE: As a reminder, when your boot2 is upgraded, it CANNOT be downgraded.

Other Changes

    • cacheFolder: You can now specify where the files are to be cached. This can be stored on either on SD or USB. If the setting is blank or does not exist. No Caching will take place.
