IPL.APD
In a SYSCONF extracted from my Wii U, I have a fully plausible LONG setting called "IPL.APD" with value 0. Does anyone else have this setting? I may look for more settings that aren't listed here. (Also, sorry about my signature. When I set it, I didn't know that this was how it would appear. I'll reset it now.) I am no smarter than you, and you are no smarter than me.

- Update: This setting is found at offset 0x1088. The data 0x1088 exist elsewhere in the file at offset 0x000E. However, the data 0x000E don't exist anywhere else within the file. Wit / SquidKid S (talk) 22:45, 18 March 2021 (CET)
- Did you extract this from the vWii or WiiUMode? Hallowizer (talk) 23:06, 18 March 2021 (CET)
- I extracted the file from a NAND backup made in Wii Mode. SquidKid S (talk) 03:30, 19 March 2021 (CET)
- i re-extracted it using FTPiiU in Wii U mode, and the setting still appears. i wonder if it stands for Automatic Power Down? i'll try turning that setting on & see what happens. SquidKid S (talk) 22:46, 18 July 2022 (CEST)
- yes! i changed the auto power-off setting from never to 12 hours, and IPL.APD has changed to 0x000002D0 (720), which is the number of minutes in 12 hours. also to note: 0x000E does exist at offset 0x3FAE, but Dolphin removes the offset table at the end of the file.

- It might also be used in the PAL Wii mini, which supports APD? Hallowizer (talk) 00:44, 19 July 2022 (CEST)
- Yeah, it does seem to be in the PAL Wii mini System Menu. Not sure how it works though (probably a batch IOS update; I've seen some people with Wii mini IOSes that are 1 version above what I have listed here, which might be PAL versions for this.) Hallowizer (talk) 06:30, 20 July 2022 (CEST)

Offset table
based on the above-mentioned SYSCONF file, the entries in the offset table for NET.WCPC & IPL.SND are correct. i'll probably edit the main page relatively soon to mention these things unless someone objects. -Wit SquidKid S (talk) 06:18, 19 July 2022 (CEST)

- forgot to sign. also forgot to mention that ZH, TW, and KR don't actually appear in the file, but those are where those languages' names would appear, as i am to believe. -Wit SquidKid S (talk) 06:57, 19 July 2022 (CEST)
Secret questions
in my recent edit, i added a comment mentioning different questions per language. here are the NTSC French questions:
| Question ID | French Question | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | "Quelle était votre matière préférée à l'école?" | What was your favourite subject in school? |
| 1 | "Quel est l'aliment que vous n'aimiez pas étant enfant?" | What food did you dislike as a child? |
| 2 | "Quel est votre désir le plus cher?" | What is your greatest desire? |
| 3 | "Quel est le cadeau qui vous a fait le plus plaisir?" | What gift most pleased you? (similar to the English question, but that only refers to birthday gifts.) |
| 4 | "Qui est la personne que vous respectez le plus?" | What person do you most respect? |
| 5 | "Quelle est la destination de vacances de vos rêves?" | What is the destination of your dream vacation? (again, similar to the English, but this only refers to vacation.) |
