2.0 was a "day 1 update" for the Wii that activated common features, and the first System Menu that had major region differences; the only region differences in System Menu 1.0 was a bug where the U region loaded channels faster, a bug with AOSS that was fixed in IOS10, and that there was region-specific code to download the correct update.
Changes
November 19, 2006 (rev01)
- Ability to read/write data on an SD card
- Addition of "Country Settings" option
- Addition of "System Update" option (previously, updates could only be done by performing a connection test)
- Ability to arrange downloaded channels on the Wii Menu
- Ability to set "parental controls" to restrict online activities
- Updated BC and MIOS
- Switched NUS connections to HTTPS[check]
- Simplified initial setup. Setup previously showed an image to press A, then asked for language, sensor bar position, date, time, aspect ratio, nickname, and parental controls. Setup now asks for country, attempts to perform an update (which always fails, since internet has not been set up yet), and says the Wii supports screen burn-in reduction.
