|IOS16 is an IOS which was distributed only on the update partition of the Wii Backup Disc versions 1.30 and 1.31, and possibly other internal repair discs as well. The exact reasoning for this IOS's existence is unknown, since it's essentially just IOS15 with very minor changes; regardless, the IOS is notable for being non-retail and also for being used for hacking purposes after the 4.0 update patched all other IOSes, as IOS16 was leaked from a scene release of the Wii Backup Disc but Nintendo failed to release a stub update until after modders already began to use it. v512 is a stub created for said reasons. It's unknown what Nintendo did for repair discs after IOS16 got stubbed, however since the stub isn't max version, it's possible they just patched it and bumped the version number, or stopped using it entirely. Notably, not long after the stub was posted to NUS, it was removed from the Korean NUS, then readded at the same time as the System Menu 4.1 update. It is possible that there was internal uncertainty over if the IOS slot was used for other purposes in some Korean Wiis as with IOS4, or other such uncertainty over internal titles and their IOS usage.
