Debug your games: WiiRD/GeckoOS first public release |
Ó
The USBGecko team, the ones behind Gecko Region Free, has come out with the first public release of the GeckoOS and WiiRD. Together, these two applications allow users to boot and debug a good number of games, including, it seems, those from the homebrew channel.
The two downloads come with some rather extensive instructions, so we advise those folks using it to check the documentation included in each before installing and using the applications.
Nuke does note a problem that's inherent in this version of the applications, however:
if using RGB scart lead you will get a red screen, this is unavoidable unless the ISO is edited, its due to some region bytes on the DVD at 0x4E000 which i still don't understand but they can't seem to be edited / checked in ram. Datel freeloader does the same thing, i don't think its a bug just a restriction.
That being said, if you're a Wiibrew coder, you may want to pick this up. Just make sure you read up first and know what you're getting into before you use WiiRD and GeckoOS.

Will this let you run backups
that isnt the goal for this homebrew app, its a REGION free app not an iso loader, goood everyone thinking ISO loading will be out soon, people need to stop asking because when one is POC it will be everywhere. people either wait for an iso loader, or BUY your games
as I understand this, it will allow you to view the actual programming code of the games. If thats the case someone could use this to draw inspiration for their own custom homebrew. Or those with no imagination could steal source right from this to make broken parts of their own software work.
This could come in handy for getting aiming with the wiimote to work as good as wii sports. Or for setting up for game saves that work the same as official games. Other things could be using the engine to make your own games, or anything else along those lines.
Heck, you could even just code in a cheater system so you can toggle certain cheat codes in the games you have. How about unlimited gold in my life as king? Or all buildings unlocked, or auto clear caves........ etc etc...
Maybe I am wrong though and thats not what this does?
