I'm sorry but I'm very new at this. I know I sound stupid but how do you install the IOS51 installer? I checked WiiBrew but the instructions were not detailed for me to know how.

Thanks

Perhaps there are more features planned for the shop, and they will implement them soon.

I believe it's just a silly pretext to induce users to update their system.
Nintendo is not new to these strategies. Just think of the previous 3.3 update only offering an useless enhancement for the Mii Channel.

I don't know what happened. I updated my Homebrew Channel but now I can't get the HC applications to work. Gecko OS doesn't work. And I can't even get into homebrew browser. It says that they're not a valid Wii application. What should i do?

ps. My firmware is currently on 3.3J and my Wii has a Wiikey

The Homebrew Channel, beta9

I've already tried installing IOS51 installer via wiiload (I hope that's a right method) but after installation is completed it still says that the hc browser is an invalid wii application. The problem where it says it is an invalid wii application occurred yesterday and then I stupidly thought I needed to update the wii firmware to the latest one, which I did. Today I only found out about the IOS51 installer and installed it today but still the same result. Did I do something wrong in the installation?

OK. The Hombrew Channel beta9 is a bit more demanding on the structure of ELF files. Elf files have to be compiled under ELF Specification. If the elf file is not compiled correctly then it will not load it. Team Twiizers gave a work around for this in there readme file included with the Homebrew Channel beta9. This is the link:

http://hbc.hackmii.com/dist/the_home...-beta_9.tar.gz

You can convert your incompatible ELF files to compatible DOL files.
I had the same issue with Gecko OS 1.07b and this solved the problem.

This is the link for the converter tool:

SourceForge.net: Downloading ...

You can extract the file with something like winrar and go to the folder "..\devkitPPC_r15-win32\devkitPPC\powerpc-gekko\bin\" and copy "objcopy.exe" to "c:\". Then copy the ELF file you're having issue with to "c:\" as well. Then open the command prompt and go to "c:\" and then type "objcopy -O binary boot.elf boot.dol".

This will create a DOL copy of the ELF file. Substitute the ELF file for the DOL file on your SD card and your ready to go. If you're having trouble doing this PM me and I'll send you the converted files. I Just read my post and it's a bit confusing.

EDIT: It's possible that Gecko OS will not work it you updated via the Wii official updater since this update blocks Gecko OS and WAD Manager completely.

Firmware is 3.2U. Anyone know a way around this? I have tried the one that does both at once yet. I may do that if no one has any ideas about this one.

EDIT: Got the one by Tona to work. Thanks for these!! I wonder if this is easily reversed if need be?

EDIT2: I thought it was going to work, but it got IOS51 installed, but not the shop channel. Still fighting with that one. Gets to content 10/18 and then fails.

EDIT3: Finally got it installed. Had to go through it like 3 times. Took forever, but finally got it

How did you get this to work? AS per your post and karyuudo's post, I'm getting the same error when running this (or the cIOS_installer that comes with the backup launcher). I'm currently on firmware v3.3U and I have a network connection (I can surf the internet on the Wii - so I would assume the network connection is fine).

I should also mention that this is a 'virgin' Wii that I just setup for homebrew today. I ran the Twilight hack and installed the latest HBC. Then tried installing this cIOS installer and got the error, then I tried the cIOS installer that came with the backup launcher and got the same error as well.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks.

*EDIT* - After posting this, I went and tried the cIOS installer that comes with the backup launcher, and it worked perfectly this time. I don't know why... but hey... it worked!

Another question then... do I need to bother running this WiiShop and IOS51 installer? Does it overwrite the cIOS from the backup launcher?

After System Menu 4.0 update came out I could not use the shop channel again so I ran the tona's installer again and now when I run the shop channel it just kicks back to the main menu.

Have I completely screwed it now?
