<ul></ul><p>"IOS 36 requirement returns for Gecko OS" would be a better title.</p>

<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>New</i> to <i>Working as intended</i></li><li><strong>Regression</strong> changed from <i>No</i> to <i>Yes</i></li></ul><p>We now require the relevant IOS to be installed when launching games through any method other than the game list. Trying to fake that the needed IOS is installed gives us inconsistent behavior that can lead to problems. (At the time emulation starts, we can't know which IOS will be necessary since the game disc might not be inserted until later, and we shouldn't add an IOS to the list of installed IOSes when the loader is in the middle of booting a game, since that isn't possible on a real console.) To compensate, we've added a way to install system updates from the disc without having to use the Wii Menu, which should make it easy to install the needed IOS.</p>
<p>If any other dev disagrees about this being something that we're not able to fix reasonably, feel free to comment.</p>

<ul></ul><p>I just wanted to verify what the intended behavior was. I'm fine with expecting users to install IOS 36 for Gecko OS if Dolphin's implementation would be excessively complex.</p>

<ul></ul><p>To expand on what JosJuice said, if you add a hack to fake IOS titles, you break the shop and the system menu as they rely on ES returning correct data about what is on the NAND.</p>
<p>We have already added back a hack for movies and Netplay, which are the only two situations where it may not be possible or easy to install system titles.</p>

<ul></ul><p>As long as IOS 36 remains easy to access through NUS, installing it shouldn't be too difficult for users. I'll take that one-time inconvenience over the problems leoetlino described.</p>
