The '''Wii Family Edition''' (model RVL-101) was a 2011 revision of the [[Wii]]. Homebrew is generally not affected by this model, but some features are still missing compared to the original Wii. It was also designed to sit flat, as opposed to the original Wii.
+The '''Wii Family Edition''' (model '''RVL-101''') was a 2011 revision of the [[Wii]]. It was designed to sit flat, as opposed to the original Wii and came in an additional color (blue). Homebrew is generally not affected by this model, but there are some key differences compared to the orignal RVL-001 Wii.
−== Features removed ==
+=== Missing GameCube compatibility ===
−* GameCube disc loading
+* The disc drives used in this model are not able to read GameCube discs at all.
−* GameCube controller ports
+* The ports for GameCube controllers and Memory Cards are also missing. With some soldering work, they can be added back.
−* GameCube memory ports
+* [[BC]] and [[MIOS]] still exist. So does the Memory Card menu under Save Data Management. The animation for the disc channel was also unchanged, so it oddly still shows the rotating GameCube disc, alongside the Wii one.
−* DVD loading
+=== Changes carried over from previous revisions ===
+* The boards used are 4-layer
+* The disc drives are unable to read standard DVDs and burned game discs.
+* [[boot1]] has the [[Signing bug|signing bug]] patched and [[boot2]] is at least at [[boot2v4|version 4]].
+=== Different boot2 and IOS versions ===
+* Newer RVL-101 units appear to have [[boot2v5|version 5]] of boot2 installed, which is not available on NUS and can only be found on certain late Wii models.
+* The ones that have boot2v5, also appear to have the same set of [[IOS]] versions as the [[vWii]].
+* [[IOS61]] v5918 is exclusive to these RVL-101 units, as IOS61 is completely missing on the vWii.
