Changes

August 06, 2007 (rev01)

  • Added AOSS support for networking
  • Fixed bugs in the Wii LAN Adapter*
    • *Only for titles using IOS30 or later
  • Disabled some homebrew tools that existed in 2007
    • Blocked Datel's GameCube discs using an updated MIOS by ensuring the correct apploader calls are issued if the ID is GNHE
  • Added a slightly modified version of NAND Boot Program v1.21 to IOS15 and IOS21 that patches the Internet Channel __OSInitMemoryProtection code.
    • The MEM1 patch changes the instruction MEM1 mapping from 24MB to 8MB. This was most likely a response to the discovery of some browser bugs in 2007 that could lead to exploits.
    • The MEM2 patch writes zeros to the IBATs where MEM2 is normally mapped, preventing code from being executed from MEM2.
    • Like in IOS28 and above, SSL has been given process ID 16 instead of sharing process ID 15 with the Broadway
  • The weather forecast for your selected region will now be displayed on the Forecast Channel icon in the Wii Menu.
  • Headline news will now be displayed on the News Channel icon in the Wii Menu.
  • The current time will now be displayed in the Wii Menu.
  • The area around the Wii Message Board button will now flash when a message arrives.
  • You're now able to rearrange the order of your Wii Friends in the address book.
  • You're now able to go into the Wii Friends registration screen by pressing the A Button on a blank spot in the address book.
  • Envelope message icons will now appear on the calendar only on the dates when a message is received.
  • Your message sending history will now be displayed in Today's Accomplishments.
  • You can now scroll the message text by pressing the B button on the message screen.
  • The search function on Virtual Console has been enhanced in Wii Shop Channel.
  • Added Singapore and U.A.E. as countries (for 3.0U).
  • Added a warning about unauthorized modifications when updating
  • Photo Channel 1.1 dummy is now checked to determine whether to show Photo Channel or Photo Channel 1.1
    • Before 3.0, both channels were shown
  • Slot LED now blinks when ejecting a disc*
  • Added Maintenance Mode
  • Wiimote + Button and Wiimote - Button can now be used to switch pages on the settings menu
  • System Menu now creates /shared2/test2/nanderr.log if it does not exist
  • System Menu now creates /shared2/sys/NANDBOOTINFO when launching a channel

August 13, 2007 (rev02)

  • Updated IOS30 and IOS31 to v1039
  • Updated IOS15 and IOS21 one minor version each, which has identical Starlet code to the version before the one released in rev01, no NAND Boot Program, and a newer build tag. This was probably because it was causing compatibility issues with some games.
