This page is intended to track changes in ( the operating system that runs on ) such as: added features, bug fixes, etc. It will also cover what different minor versions are known to exist. Overview The Title ID of the IOSes follow this convention '00000xx' where xx is the IOS number in hexadecimal. The 'IOS number' is best thought of as a 'Major' version number for the firmware, and probably corresponds to a specific version of Nintendo's (proprietary) SDK.

For example, the version of the SDK used to compile Zelda: Twilight Princess probably was tailored to run on IOS9. In general, IOSx0 is used for the system menu (IOS20, IOS30, IOS40, IOS50, IOS60, IOS70). IOSx1 seems to be used for Nintendo channels (e.g. IOS31, IOS51, IOS61). Each IOS has a 16-bit version number in its TMD. This version number is seen in decimal form in the filenames of IOS WADs on update partition (e.g.

'IOS9-64-v516.wad' for version 516 (decimal)). Converted to hex, that 516 becomes 0x0204, and can be read as '2.4' -- IOS9, version 2.4. As a rule, an existing IOS will never have new features added to it, to protect binary compatibility.

This means that any updates for existing IOSes are only meant to fix bugs (generally, security bugs). Future of IOS As of late 2008, Nintendo has been replacing some versions of IOS with small non-functional 'place holder' IOSes. This is to prevent the reuse of the IOS 'slot' for software other than official Nintendo Software which utilized that IOS number. Nintendo can come back at a later date if necessary and 'reuse' an IOS slot at their own discretion by simply increasing the version number of the title and replacing it with a functional IOS once again. These IOSes have been marked as Mothballed on the table denoting that they could quite possibly be reused in the future if Nintendo decides to do so. Version Table IOS Number Minor(s) Version Number(s) Notes NUS Availability Status 0.7.6, 255.0 v1798, v65280 Despite the version being 0.7.6 as seen in the SDK, the titleid is IOS3. IOS in beta used the IOS0 title id, then as it neared release they changed to IOS3.

Later on it changed to IOS4 which is the first one that got shipped at retail. IOS3 is used in the factory and comes preinstalled as a stub on some wiis because of it; later version is a stub. The older version is lost but we know it exists because SDK. Unavailable Mothballed 0.1, 0.3, 1.3, 255.0 v1, v3, v259, v65280 Previous versions only had minimal drivers (lacking KD, WL, WD, SSL), and were used during manufacturing. V3's timestamp is Aug 10, 2006; it was used by the present on pre-launch kiosk Wiis that shipped without a full System Menu. V259 was used on Korean Wiis at some point, although it is unknown what, if any, purpose it served. V1's existence is known through remnants in the Startup Disc NAND.

V65280 is a stub; at one point, v3 was on CDN, likely by accident, but it was replaced with the stub version. V65280 Mothballed 255.0 v65280 We only know it exists because it's listed in the SDK. The IOS5 going around the internet is a modded version of and is not real, the legit IOS5 will probably never be found. IOS with the same titleid exists as stub on some Wiis, probably same situation as IOS3 above where it's used for factory titles or possibly due to the aforementioned hack distributed under the IOS5 title ID.
