Hi all,

I´m getting really confused about all the numbers (ios, cios, bases and so on).

I followed this guide http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-faqs...-installer.html (3. Installing cIOS38rev17), ran "cIOS38Rev17 Installer" and installed "IOS38-64-v3867.wad" as IOS36.

Here is my first couple of questions.

1. Is the "IOS38-64-v3867.wad" an official IOS file? Nothing modified about that one?
2. Is it the "cIOS38Rev17 Installer" who modifies the "IOS" file to a "cIOS"?
3. What "base" does this file have "IOS38-64-v3867.wad"? Is it Base 38 because it called "IOS38"?
4. How can and why should a file called "IOS38..." be installed as "IOS36"? Shouldn´t it be installed as "IOS38" instead?

I´m then looking to install Hemers IOS 222/223 following this guide:

Hermes' Ios222/223 - GAF's Wii Homebrew Tutorial

It tells me to first of all install "IOS236" -> Ios236 - GAF's Wii Homebrew Tutorial

Few questions here also..

5. Im told to download a file called "IOS36-64-v3351.wad" and install it. Would that be to IOS36?

6. Wouldn´t that intervene with the "IOS38-64-v3867.wad"-file which I earlier also installed to IOS36?

7. Is IOS36 and Base 36 the same thing?

Sorry about the stupid questions and bad english..
