Dop-IOS MOD Enters v12 Beta Stage
Dop-IOS is a program that lets you install any IOS you want. Unfortunately, Dop-IOS used cIOS 249, the "warez IOS" to do so. Many people feel a resentment toward the enforcement, so I created Dop-IOS MOD; A program that lets you use any IOS you want, to install any IOS you want.
Since its original release, Dop-IOS MOD has become less and less of a modification and more of an entirely original creation. Unlike it's older brother, Dop-IOS MOD can install channels and system menus as well. It also has the ability to restore fakesigning ability to any Wii with a single button press. This makes Dop-IOS MOD a versatile tool in the recovery of a broken Wii (the gamecube controller support exclusive to Dop-IOS MOD helps out with that as well ;-) )

wrote up the changelog for v12 on the WiiBrew wiki page but I'm going to give you a detailed write up what all of the exciting new changes mean here instead of simply posting the changelog.
- Our first major change is that you can now install any version of any IOS that you want. You are no longer limited to just two versions of an IOS. Yes, you can install stubbed IOSs if you please. You can now downgrade any IOS.
- We now let you uninstall any IOS.
- You can update BC and MIOS.
- When you download stuff, you no longer download stuff from NUS, you download it from Lunatik. Lunatik is hosting a copy of NUS on his personal server. So, if Nintendo ever decides to be like Apple and start changing stuff on their server, it won't affect anyone thanks to Lunatik's server.
- You can now use WADs throughout the entire application to perform offline installs.
- You can now safely downgrade your Wii to any system menu including 2.0 (the first system menu). This will not brick newer Wiis like older downgrading methods (*cough*Waninkoko*cough*) did. Just be sure you have the necessary IOSs installed before downgrading your system menu.
- We now have Priiloader support throughout the entire application. This means that you can install Priiloader on whatever system menu you have installed. It works on all system menus.
- Thanks to some code donated by bushing we now have the ability to update boot2. No, we cannot downgrade boot2. Be 110% sure you want to do this before updating boot2. There is no risk to it, but it will delte bootmii forcing you to reinstall it.
- Due to how no one can consistently write USB modules in IOS we no longer check for USB support in syscheck.
- Thanks to Lunatik's new server set-up, syscheck will now check ALL non-stubbed IOSs (ie: bugfix).
