IOS Clarification

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Can you clarify on the FAQ or guide pages

which version / revision
of
which IOS cIOS
should be used to obtain
0000000e.app and 00000001.app
for patching with IOSKPatch

i see different things in many different pages and sites and forums is it 
dependant on which SYSMENU you use or which REVISION of sneek you are compiling 
and patching and using 

some people say iso60 and ios70 some say ios60 and ios60 some say ios60 and 
ios80 and there is no CLEAR explanation of which ones to use for what app file 
and why

(For the impatient: use IOS60v6174 and IOS80v6944. Or read on...)

Hi,

I've had some problems myself setting up SNEEK or UNEEK - but I suppose this 
maybe has something todo with your NAND or compiler environment, as the latest 
releases since somewhere after around r156 or so (not tried r164 to r167) work 
fine for me (even with Priiloader loading JoyFlow etc. installed on the 
emulated NAND.)
And I'm one of these guys having lots of trouble with a 4.3E black Wii. (j'st 
kiddin' Cred..)

So, back to topic - and to clarify: IMHO, the used IOSes aren't the big point!
For the last weeks, I compiled every SNEEK-Release with devkitARM r24/r32/r34, 
and all those IOSes recommended by different web sites/tutorials/FAQs. And 
there's no difference at all. (Well, actually there is... but not when it comes 
to whether it works or not.)

For building di.bin (which uses 00000001.app) you can use IOS60 v6174 - which 
is IMHO the latest, before Nintendo released the stub v6400 (which means: IOS60 
v6174 = good, v6400 = bad!).

For building kernel.bin (which uses 000000e.app), I used IOS70 v6687, or IOS80 
v6943, or IOS80 v6944 - all of these work. IOS70 v6912 does not work, being a 
stub IOS, as NUSD tells everyone who's actually willing to READ THE MESSAGES 
THE PROGRAM SPITS OUT. (This, for not just screaming out loud "RTFM, dude!")

so is there any difference for compatibility, speed, issues, features or 
efficiency basically anything between any of these ios bases that is different 
or is the 0000000e.app the same exact file in each of the sys menu configs

its basically the same except for updates to stop homebrew i think i could be 
wrong though

myself i have done many experiments with uneek :
i have built it with the .app files of ios58 57 56 
it will run and channels work but the di doesnt work because the calls are for 
the system menu and not for the ios that i used as a base 58 57 56
