By now you probably all heard of the LU64/65 aka the unsoftmoddable Wii's around. Almost every new Wii will be the same. This wont let you downgrade your IOSes and thats why Preloader couldn't be installed. Thats why I decided to write this little program :).

IOS36 Patcher v0.1 by Scarfish

Since there was no way of installing Preloader on a LU64/65 Wii I decided to make a program that will patch the ES_DiVerify check in IOS36 which is used by Preloader for installing.

First of all I want to thank tona for his Wii Shop and IOS51 Installer which was the base for this tool and Crediar for Preloader from which I sort of 'lent' the ES_Identify patch.
The source for Wii Shop and IOS51 Installer can be found here: http://junks.tonatonari.info/wiiaps/InstallShopIOS51.zip.

What is it
IOS36 Patcher will download the latest IOS36 for you and patches the ES_DiVerify (aka ES_Identify) function so that it's possible again to identify as SU. I don't know if identifying as System Menu works since I was too lazy to test this. It also patches the trucha bug back in.
The ES_DiVerify patch is the same as the patch that is applied by Preloader on IOS60.
This patcher is primarily intended for LU64/65 users that wish to install Preloader on their Wii.

Usage
In order to use this you'll need an internet connection on your Wii.

Custom IOS installed as IOS249:
* Run the dol from your favourite loader
* At the option which IOS to use choose IOS249
* At the question if you want to install IOS36 choose Yes
* If asked choose A for rebooting the Wii or Home for returning to the loader

cBoot2:
* Replace the Wad Manager dol with this dol
* At the option which IOS to use choose Current
* At the question if you want to install IOS36 choose Yes
* If asked choose A for rebooting the Wii

Now you should be able to install Preloader on your LU64/65 Wii! I suggest installing Preloader .29! Dont know if it works with older versions.

Changelog
v0.1:
* Initial version
