Title: Can't Load Channels using latest version of Gecko OS
Post by: simalexander on August 02, 2010, 10:18:14 PM
I am using the latest version of Gecko OS and I don't see an option to load Channels. All I see is Launch Game, Config, About, and Exit. No load Channel option anywhere. How am I supposed to use Virtual Console codes if there isn't an option to use them? If someone could help me that would be great thanks.

Well I did update to the latest version of the Shop Channel. I don't use cIOS. Also I have no idea what DOP-MII is.

Channel loading requires an IOS that has the signing bug.  You can use DOP-Mii to downgrade IOS 15, patch the signing bug back into IOS 36, and then upgrade IOS15 back to normal.  Restoring IOS15 is very important.

At this point, the only thing that has changed is that you can fake sign stuff.  You haven't installed any custom IOS or anything yet.

In order to install a custom IOS, you need an IOS with the sign bug, so using DOP-Mii was an important first step.  Once you use DOP-Mii to patch an IOS with the sign bug, you can then use the patched IOS to install whatever you want.

BTW, Gecko OS 1.9.3.1 is the latest version.
