Changes

'''MIOS''' is a special version of [[IOS]] that runs when the Wii enters GameCube mode, specifically launched by [[boot2]] if it detects the lowered clock speed set by [[BC]] (if [[IOS/Syscalls|syscall 55]] returns 162). The same MIOS is used for all GameCube games and software. It has seen minimal updates in the Wii's lifetime.

MIOS contains a full copy of the GC IPL,{{check}} slightly modified for the Wii. It performs patching of some games when they load, presumably to enhance compatibility with problematic titles. Another change was the DVD password, changed from "MATSHITA DVD-GAME" to "matshita dvd-game".

MIOS is responsible for reading and running [[apploader]]s, but not for configuring the streaming audio (DTK) buffer; the [[System Menu/BS2|System Menu's BS2]] sets that up in state 11.  Neither BC nor MIOS reset the disc drive, as doing so would clear the buffer configuration.
