That's new to me. I only know of [[PatchMii]] and [[BootMii|BootMii IOS installation]] that they are installed as IOS254. PatchMii allows people with modchips to use DVDX, so it's a pirate tool??? The IOS254 page needs a serious update(or to be removed...), i won't do it, because i don't think i'm in the position to do that. And also i don't want to start an edit-war. --[[User:WiiPower|WiiPower]] 01:35, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

+::This is something entirely different. Several illegitimate pirate-favored patching tools/region changers/downgraders will install IOS254 (and several other IOSes) as a patched IOS that they can exploit; the most memorable instance of this is one such patcher (whose name escapes me) which writes a new IOS254 and uses it to overwrite every other IOS for maximum compatibility, a method which is not only dishonorable because of its intended purpose but also very heavy-handed and possibly system-damaging. Fortunately, none of these tools should be necessary for the everyday Homebrew user, and most proper IOS-modifying tools should never run into issues with BootMii installed. --[[User:Szalkow|Szalkow]] 00:59, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
