Options missing from Gecko 1.9.3.1

[dcx2]

...pirate?  There's nothing pirate about Gecko OS.  It only supports original Wii games.  There's a Gecko OS Mod that does GameCube games, but it too only does originals.  No burnt discs or anything...we don't support piracy on this forum.

Since you have Gecko OS, there's no reason to use the Disc Channel ever again.  In fact, using it involves a very small but significant risk that a System Menu update can wipe out HBC.

Even if you do want a SM update, eventually they update HBC so that it's compatible with the new SM.  But I know people on 3.4 that can still play new games and stuff.

I think you can launch every new game with gecko os, ignoring the system menu update, you normally need to do.
This only doesn´t work, if the ios, which is needed for this game, isn´t installed.
Then Gecko OS gives you an error, when you are trying to boot the game!
But that´s always better than using the disk channel (you could also just boot the games, with codes turned off)

If your Wii is connected to wifi, Gecko OS will automatically download and install the required IOS without installing the System Menu update.  I know this for a fact because it happened when I bought Super Mario Galaxy 2.

That would be incredibly stupid! All official Gecko OS devs are strictly against piracy, but there should a pirates only feature in Gecko OS? Only pirates have the possibility to remove the update from the disc. And only pirates are that stupid to do that.

Until now i was sure Gecko OS takes the IOS from the disc's update partition. Every wii game has an update partition, even Wii Sports, and there are all files you need to launch the game. How else should it work if your Wii is not connected to the internet?

[Dude]

I do recall reading that GeckOS takes all necessary files from the update partition on the game disc itself.

I am currently still on system menu version 3.1 and boot ALL my games through GeckOS.  This bypasses the system menu update and I have allowed GeckOS to install any missing/updated IOS that the game calls for...direct from the disc.

This has in no way modified my system menu in anyway and everything works exactly as it's supoosed to, even all my new games.

I am pretty sure the IOS was extracted from the update partition of the game too.

but it´s possible to remove them and burn the disk afterwards LOL

[dcx2]

My bad, I assumed they downloaded them from NUS.

Regardless, I know that Gecko OS will help you play any new games without updating the System Menu.

It is true, I tried it myself too.. I removed an IOS and tried Gecko OS with a game requiring that IOS. It pulled it from the update partition as it should, no internet required. If people use brick-blocked discs (modchip users/cIOS users) then it's able to help them.

dcx2, I though you told me downgrading is obsolete, and that multi mod manager is the recommended app

[dcx2]

Yes, downgrading is obsolete now that there are apps that patch IOS36 using AHBPROT.  Multi Mod Manager is one, I believe 111 also recommends Simple IOS Patcher.

Wow, just came here to give out a big thank you for making this thread. I was looking everywhere for a legitimate instruction in installing IOS36 and having it Patched. Dcx2 and you other guys are complete geniuses! Can't thank you enough, I followed Shadoed State Of Mind's issue and it helped me out as well. Got the channel launcher and everything back on gecko os.

I will also let you guys know if anything shows up. I have tears of joy on finally getting a working IOS36! ^_^. Again thank you.

I don't know if this is going to reach the right guy,

I had a situation last year trying to update everything on 4.2 i remember how much of a disaster that was. but somehow i wound up with 4.3 as i just realized last night, and also discovered that getkos has yet again disappeared the option to load wiiware channels. and so i'm having trouble remembering exactly what i had did before to fix the problem, but seeing as it's being discussed i thought this might work

So far i got 3 versions of truca bug, the regular, and 2 version of bug restorer, i also have dop-mi 13

and i've got NU downloader.

I am trying to download the 5 files reccomended to put into the wad folder, but since it's been a long time that i've used NU, i'm finding it's taking quite awhile for it to download ios41. Does that normally take a long time to do? and if not, somebody please point out what i am doing wrong

[Themissinglink]

YES!!

IT WORKS! The Gecko OS AND the cheats!! Thank you so much!! If the app stops working due to another update to the System Menu I'm DEFINITELY coming by here. Once again, thank you for your patience!!

Folks, it is definetly true. But i need to assure you that reads this you will have different ways of trying to set this up, But yet again i was able to successfully make it happen. What i did was i downloaded a program called multi-mod manager  ( which should be called a better version of NU downloader, because i'll tell ya if 100 other people make YT vid's saying it's easy, i can promise you it's not at all easy)  and what you are able to do is download ios files that allow you to not only download the correct ios files but to bug the correct files needed to run this, so basically install ios41 on top of a bugged ios36 and that's how i found it to work, Now i may have not specified this to the decimal point, but i found out that multi-mod-manager is definetly the way to go. So for real just assume i didn't get it right at all, because likely you all will, but before you go, go ahead and try what i did, if i screwed your systems then obviously this post was a waste!!!!!!

I just can't understand what you are saying.

To get the channel option in Gecko OS 1.9.x, you need to patch your IOS36. What program you use for that doesn't matter, but all tools that have any relation to IOS15(downgrading IOS15) or IOS41(korean IOS not present on other regions) are outdated. All new patchers use AHBPROT and require to use a recent HBC. And then it should be:
a) Connect the wii to the internet and click through the program
or
b) Download the correct IOS with NUS Downloader, put in on sd card, and then click through the program

Which programs do that now, i don't know, i'm a bit out of the loop.
