IOS55 is an IOS that only three games appear to use -- "Need for Speed: Undercover", "Sonic and the Black Knight" and "The Conduit".

'''IOS55''' is an [[IOS]] that some games starting in late 2008 use. v4633 is identical to [[IOS51]]v4633, probably to allow IOS51 to be updated without compatibility issues, although in reality, IOS51 was immediately [[Stub IOS|stubbed]].

This IOS is presumably required by Undercover to make a Logitech USB steering wheel work. However, this does not explain why the other games require it although, in the case of The Conduit, it is possible that there is a connection between its usage and support for the Wii Speak periphal (it has been reported that both [[IOS38]] and IOS55 are required by the official Nintendo Wii Speak channel).

== Titles using this IOS ==
 +
The full list is much longer than this.

* Call of Duty: Modern Warefare - Reflex Edition
 +
* The Conduit
 +
* Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (New Play Control)
 +
* Excite Bots
 +
* Need for Speed: Undercover
 +
* Sonic and the Black Knight
 +
* Wii Sports Resort
 +
* Internet Channel

Typically, if a game that requires this IOS is started without it (via brickblocker or a Starfall update skip, for example), then the screen will turn blue and a white-text error message "Error #002" will appear. The Conduit behaves somewhat differently as it will simply display a black screen before freezing.

Installation from the Undercover disc keeps [[System Menu 3.3]] and does not(!) install [[System Menu 3.4]], assuming the user's Wii didn't already have 3.4. On the other hand, The Conduit appears to contain a complete [[System Menu 3.4]] update.

When launching Donkey Kong Jungle Beat(Wii) and Excite Bots with Gecko OS it says IOS55 required when on System Menu 3.2US.
