Talk:Apploader

IOS content 0

I’ve seen a number of IOSes on Wiimpersonator have a content 0 that is 0x40 bytes long. Is this an apploader that reads for the boot index? Hallowizer (talk) 02:28, 15 July 2021 (CEST)

I don't think it is. Here's one for IOS10:

And one for IOS48:

This is practically a text file; although it does have a bit of binary data, it's pretty clearly not code. I'm not sure what these files are used for (if anything); maybe they're just used for recording version numbers or such. --Pokechu22 (talk) 18:03, 15 July 2021 (CEST)
