rev9 has all features that rev6. 7 and 8 has. rev9 adds support for USB Loader which you can rip and boot games on a USB MAS Storage device. There may be some fixs as well in rev9 but the main advantage rev9 has is implementing USB Mass Storage.

Yes you need to have rev9 installed if you want to upgrade to System 4.0 and also to use usb loader 1.1

Did you not read that before updating to 4.0

You can update to 4.0 as long as you have cIOS36_rev6, 7, 8 or 9 installed. As long as you have 1 of those cIOS installed you can upgrade (my guide says don't follow the 4.0 update untill you have installed cIOS36_rev9 because if you have followed the guide you will be installing that).

As for a link for the cIOS36_rev9 file. If you redownload the pack at the beginning of the guide it now has cIOS36_rev9 file included.

I reorganized the guide once again. Hopefully it is more clear then what I had before. Feel free to give any suggestions that might make the guide more easier to understand (But I think it is pretty clear already).

You may have to refresh to get the new look.

You should know what cIOS you previously installed yourself.

What application are you using for the cIOS you currently have?

If you had read the guide yet instead of just asking

You would have noted under the "things you need"
That it says system 3.4 firmware and under

Quit the cynicism dude. I read it carefully as much as I could before I ask, and I don't mean to bother anyone. These forums are meant for help are they not? Now could you give me a straightforward answer since I'm a bit confused.

Can I install CIOSrev9, mIOSrev3, and be able to use Backup Launcher w/ GC support on 4.0?

Evidently you didn't read it carefully.

If you did you would have your answer already.

It says you need a Wii with 3.4 or below firmware.

Does 4.0 come before 3.4?

What do you think the answer will be?

This is a helping forum and so is this thread. But it dosent matter how helpful a thread or guide is if you don't read it word for word.

larrylje, you've done it again. Thanks for a consistently straightforward guide. I have one question before I proceed.
Back in December, I would guess, I followed your advice and guide (I believe it was just before you first wrote this guide). Anyway, I took a 3.4U wii and softmoded and then downgraded to 3.2U. I believe my Cios is v.7, and have been playing backups with 0.3 loader. My question is, where should I start in your guide. I want to upgrade the Cios to v. 9 and the GC and USB fixes. I assume I don't need to mess with the 3.4 fixes since I'm currently at 3.2U. Should I just start with reinstalling the wiigator backup launcher on your guide? Has anything changed in it since December? Or is that just the easiest way to upgrade the Cios to v.9? I have read all the posts to this thread (and others) since 4.0 came out, but wanted to make sure before I began. Always get straight answers and help from afterdawn! Thanks in advance.

All you should have to do is update the cIOS to cIOS_rev9 (just install it over the rev7).

Then install the mIOS for GameCube support.

You should now be able to boot Wii and GameCube games from WiiGator and use the USB Loader.

I get what you mean now larryje, sorry for the hostility.

Do you think a new CIOS will be released anytime soon for 4.0? Possibly to be able to run Backup Launcher/USB Loader. And will mIOS be able to work on 4.0 too?

This still could be a media issue. Just because they work on another Wii system doesn't mean they will work on yours. Use good media and Burn at 4x using IMGBurn. Again something that would have been answered if you had read the previous post.

First off, great guide! I was able to mod two Wiis with zero problems. I was wondering if there's a way to install the Wad Manager 1.3 channel to the main Wii System Menu similar to how the Wii Backup Launcher has its own channel. Can Wad Manager only be run through the SD card in the Homebrew channel or is there a way to install an independent channel for it? Any help is greatly appreciated.

You need to get the 1.3 WAD Manager WAD file and install it. I don't have that included in my pack but it isn't that hard to find.

OK...
I installed everything a while ago on my 3.3U Wii. Everything works great and I had no problems until last night. I burned an ISO like I always do with the same DVD-R's Ive always been using, except this time, im getting "dvd read error 324". Must have burned it like 4 times with imgburn on 1x, 2x, 2.5x, and 3x. From the pervious posts, I see that its probably just a media problem, so Ive got some new DVDs to try again later tonight. Is it possible that I might have to update anything else on my Wii even though the firmware hasnt been updated??

Aiight, so I tried a different media, and sure enough, that was the problem....BUT i ended up getting a blue screen with error #002..I was heated! But thanx to your guide (that I see was modified, great stuff BTW) I was able to get everything situated quick an easy. Hell, I even got a usb loader and GC support too! AND I also got the backup channel I was tryin to get a while back! larrylje, you are the Sh*t, no question.


...and yes...I am aware that this post sounds like a Geretol comercial..

Glad you got everything working L_se7en.

As well for anyone that would like a nice WFBS GUI to transfer games to USB device using your PC then try this nice little GUI out. It is called WFBS Manager 2.0 and you can get it HERE (Vista Compatible).

I have been riping my backup games to PC and then transferring them using the WFBS Manager. I think this is a more reliable way to do it instead of using the Wii DVD Drive. So check it out if you want a way to transfer the games to USB device using a PC.

Excellent guide! Do you still have the old guides that let you boot games from DVD?
