List of Nintendo Wii IOS's - Vega - 03-10-2018
First things first, don't confuse IOS with ISO. Obviously, much different.
IOS is the operating system that runs on the Starlet coprocessor inside the Hollywood package. It provides services that are used by Wii code to access many system devices: USB, networking, security, app management, NAND flash storage, SD card, optical disc, and also WiiConnect24 features.
List of IOS's (does NOT include cIOS's!!)
IOS3 (versions 65280): Is a stub. A supported theory is that there are non-stub versions of IOS3 (only on NDEV Wiis), but when Pinkfish was leaked, Nintendo sent this stub on Wii Updates to prevent users from using IOS3 to install dev certs via Pinkfish.
IOS4 (versions 1, 3, 259, 65280). Version 3 used by the 'Pre 1.0' system menu aka Wii Startup Disc Menu. Remnants of a version 1 were discovered within the leaked 'Wii Startup Disc NAND'. Version 65280 is a stub. Non-stub versions are very basic and only contain minimal drivers.
