Image unavailable (removed by its host) Description:
Pimp My Wii is a homebrew by Attila from Wii info that will install titles that are missing or outdated on your console.
The program will therefore detect the missing or outdated IOSes and also check that you have the latest version of the Wii menu. It also checks that you have the very latest version of the BC and MIOS as well as the Shop, Weather, News, Mii, Photo and Photo 1.1 channels.
If you don't have the very latest versions of these titles, the program will download them or read them from a USB device or SD card to install them. By using this program you'll get all the benefits of 4.1 combined with those of 3.2, and that without any downside!
The homebrew is automatically displayed in French or English depending on the console's language. It is also compatible with Wii NTSC-U, NTSC-J and PAL (Korean Wiis theoretically compatible but the specific ios for this version will not be installed).
Despite the various tests carried out, this program can damage your console. It is preferable that you have Bootmii installed as boot2.
"Minus" button in the menu: "safe mode" mode. In this mode, the IOS test is disabled, you must instead choose an IOS to use for the installation. Be aware that in this mode, you won't know if your installed IOS have the various bugs, and so the program won't know if the IOS you have installed need to be patched.
Changelog version 1.32:
- Each IOS load is displayed on screen. If it fails, it will be retried 10 times (possible fix for "Bad ios used").
- Should fix some code dumps during install/download.
- Minor readme change (wii shop version).
- Using devkitppc r19, latest libogc, libfat 1.0.6, devkitARM release 27.
- Fixed detection of the IOS used by Homebrew Channel.
- Shows in "safe mode" the IOS stubs that shouldn't be used.
Fixes for issues encountered:
- Black screen when loading games via dvd:
Missing IOS -> Install these IOS (by patching them)
- Update request when inserting games:
Old IOS -> Update the IOS (by patching them)
- The modified game (trucha signed) won't read on the disc channel with my chip:
IOS used by games having the trucha bug fixed -> Install a new IOS restoring the bug
The IOS used by the system menu has the trucha bug fixed -> Install a new IOS restoring the bug
- Preloader and other homebrews don't work:
IOS36 has ES_Identify patched -> Install a new IOS36 restoring the bug
- I have reading problems on my backup launcher:
Old cIOS installed (below rev14) -> Ask the user to update it
- No SD menu, no latest features:
Old Wii version (like 3.2) -> Move to 4.1 (but patching everything) for more compatibility/functionality
- The shop channel asks for an update:
Old version of the shop channel (below v18) -> Install the new version
- I don't have any IOS that contains the trucha bug flaw:
The homebrew restores the trucha bug in IOS15 in this case.
- I can't install Hackmii Installer, because I have a cIOSCorp:
You need an unmodified IOS 34 -> Installing this IOS.
Leave the default settings if you don't know what you're doing! A bad choice of hacks could make your system unstable.
Read the readme for more information.
If you have the homebrew channel upside down after use, reinstall the Homebrew Channel.

Version 1.32:
- Each IOS load is displayed on screen. If it fails, it will be retried 10 times (possible fix for "Bad ios used").
- Should fix some code dumps during install/download.
- Minor readme change (wii shop version).
- Using devkitppc r19, latest libogc, libfat 1.0.6, devkitARM release 27.
- Fixed detection of the IOS used by Homebrew Channel.
- Shows in "safe mode" the IOS stubs that shouldn't be used.
Version 1.31:
- Moved to version 18 of the Wii shop.
- Tries 10 times to load the IOS if IOS_Reload failed.
- Now indicates whether full NAND access is possible for the IOS.
- Indicates during a test whether the HBC is upside down because of a modified IOS in use.
- Now for network initialization you must press A to do it or B to go offline.
- Shows more errors during the downgrade of IOS15. Even with error -1017 during ES_AddTitleFinish, the downgrade can still succeed.
Version 1.3:
- New menu option "Downgrade IOS 15". You choose the IOS to use to downgrade just IOS 15 which will restore the trucha bug in it.
- Now when running a simple test there is no more internet/sd/usb initialization and no longer offers IOS downgrade in certain cases.
- When no useful IOS was found, it now instead takes IOS 36 if present, otherwise 28 or 33 or 55 or 30 and otherwise the IOS used by the System Menu. This helps avoid the -1035 problem on IOS 70 on 4.2 Wiis during the downgrade.
- Added an "Info" mode that writes info about installed titles to the SD card. It shows the state of the Trucha bug, the ES_Identify function, the possibility of downgrade (version check) and the stub check for the IOS. For all titles it also shows whether it's an original title or not.
- If pimp my wii detects an old MIOS and you have a non-original one installed (so a cMIOS), it tells you it will be replaced by a normal MIOS.
- Shows the navigation buttons.
- Offers the EULA installation in manual installation mode.
Version 1.2:
- Now offers and tests the installation of BC, MIOS and the News, Weather, Mii, Photo and Photo 1.1 channels. The news and weather channels install in two parts. These channels need IOS 13 and 31.
- You can now also navigate through the BC/MIOS installation choice and other channels.
- Shows more information about the installed versions of the various channels.
- Small reorganization of the displayed info.
- Fixes the internet connection issue.
- You can now go back to the menu by pressing B during the title installation choice.
Version 1.11:
- Fixed the issue introduced in version 1.1 which said that the HBC and Wii Shop weren't installed.
- No longer tests IOS30 since it causes problems on "recent" Wiis which refuse old IOS.
Version 1.1:
- Fixed a bug that meant on Wii 3.3 or 3.4 with no IOS containing the trucha bug, the program didn't offer to downgrade IOS 15.
- Fixed a message about an outdated cIOS.
- If your IOS 249 is a stub (official 4.2 update), it indicates that you don't have a Custom IOS.
- Additional check that indicates if the IOS reload failed.
- Added the new HBC title id to check that it's properly installed.
- Added IOS70 and updated the IOS.
- Doesn't install 4.2, still 4.1.
- Updated the Wii Shop version to v17.
- More patches on IOS61 to avoid problems and so the Homebrew Channel can use it (without being upside down!).
- New stub check based on the size of the IOS.
- Now tells you which IOS are stubs.
- Internal improvement regarding the default choices for patches.
- Lets you navigate through the list of IOS by pressing the MINUS and PLUS buttons or Trigger L and R for a GameCube controller.
- Now detects if IOS 30, 50 and 60 are stubs (unusable) and installs an old version (non-stub, so usable) replacing the version number inside, this helps avoid bricks if you install a lower System Menu without modifying the associated IOS (or if you downgrade your Wii and install a game update).
- Refuses to install the 4.1 system menu if your IOS 60 is a stub.
- The IOS15 downgrade now also works for Wii 4.2.
- Added a description of each choice in the menu.
- Added a minimal installation mode to just downgrade IOS15 if necessary and patch IOS 36 so it contains the trucha bug.
- Added an individual description when selecting the IOS to install.
Version 1.01:
- Decreased the number of tested IOS, only the ios necessary for games as well as IOS 249 and 202 (if present).
- No more reboot on bootmii during IOS testing if it is installed as an IOS.
- Should no longer do a code dump during IOS tests.
- Added the installation of other IOS, those considered "stub" (unusable), but necessary to no longer get an update request when inserting a game. The homebrew will try to use an old working version and change the version number. This way you'll still be able to use these IOS if necessary.
- Fixed a bug that forced the downgrade of IOS 15 if you didn't have a Custom IOS (or an ios allowing a revision downgrade).
- Added a "safe mode" (press "minus" in the menu to enable it). In this mode, the IOS test is disabled, you must instead choose an IOS to use for the installation. Be aware that in this mode, you won't know if your installed IOS have the various bugs, and so the program won't know if the IOS you have installed need to be patched.

except that (well yeah there's always something...) I reinstalled preloader (v29) only the hack.ini doesn't work, we get to choose between 3.2 or 4.0 but here I am now on 4.1 
so is there a solution for me because I don't like the warning thing before the system menu
