Wii Shop and IOS51 installer

Wii Shop and IOS51 installer is a very quick modification of PatchMii modified by Muzer that does one thing: It installs the new IOS51 and Wii Shop Channel, without installing the patches to all the other IOSes. This means that as long as you didn't update, you can now install this to use the Wii Shop Channel but keep all the benefits of not having the update.

Anybody at all could have made this, just everyone is too busy at the moment, so I figured I would make it. It's literally modifying 4 lines of code and commenting out a bunch of stuff. Because of this I didn't bother to include the source in the package, but if anyone wants me to, I'll happily include it.

This does not have the same effects as updating, so you get the best of both worlds.

You can do this on any system menu version and it will work fine, keeping the system menu version you have.

I made the program as two separate dol files, because it's easier and quicker for me that way, if this lasts a while I'll make a version that combines the two files.

NOTE: TAKE OUT ANY GAMECUBE MEMORY CARDS/CONTROLLERS AND USB DEVICES BEFORE INSTALLING ANYTHING. The first time one person installed the IOS51, and Shop Channel. One person had a Gamecube memory card, and a wireless adapter in the Wii, and it didn't install correctly. But after taking out all Gamecube items, re-installed everything and it worked fine. Axelpaxel was the one that found that USB devices did it too.

Instructions: Simply load one file, then the other. It does not matter in which order you load them. Use any method.


I think I fixed a weird bug many people were having: http://muzer.hbcapps.com/updater%20noob%202.tar.gz

Another version (by tona) exists which will install both IOS51 and the Shop Channel in the same installer. It also will patch the signature hash check out of IOS51 for you (fakesign bug), although this is pretty useless.

Update: Matthew_8 has kindly repackaged v1 of my app into a more noob friendly version which is formatted for the homebrew channel. Download: http://muzer.hbcapps.com/updater%20noob%20edition.rar

I share the wii with my family. They noticed the update from nintendo, and installed it. Thank god though i already had the homebrew channel installed.
Please, please tell me some one is working on a downgrader.... i would give anything to get this update taken off and use this instead. Oh well, Homebrew Channel is still working for me, so i am not totally screwed, yet.

Marcan is working on a fix for people in your situation, don't worry!

And you can stop updates from being applied using parental controls!

do you have to install both the wii shop update and the ios51 update or can you just install the wii shop?

if one can be installed without needing the other, then are there any benefits to installing the ios51?

You need ios51 to run upcoming games like animal crossing.

The newest version of the Wii Shop Channel uses IOS51, so yes, you would need to install both. If you wanted, you could just use tona's version, as it will place the signing bug into IOS51.

alright thanks

i just used tona's installer, it installed successfully but i don't see any difference in the shop channel, is that normal?

[h2923j42n2]

Here is a description on Nintendo's website as to what it does to the Shop Channel...

I'm guessing that you can at least get into the Wii Shop?

[italianMod]

yeah i can get into it, and i see the difference now, thanks

So i used Tona's installer and it finished successfully, however when i try to use the shop channel it just goes back to the wii menu....i've tried muzer's also but with the same effects...i don't know what's going on.

[Blakmagik]
