Super Smash Bros. Brawl stage builder exploit discovered |
Listed in: Wii Tags: comex, Nintendo
Ó
This is different from other exploit because this one does not go through the System Menu, and as of this time, Nintendo has no method on the Wii for patching games. Currently it will load an elf file from /boot.elf on the SD card.
To use use the exploit, all you have to do is delete all the custom stages of SSBB on your Wii, then copy over the file. When you enter the stage builder menu, it will automatically run /boot.elf on SD. The coder says that the exploit will be released soon, in the meantime, watch the video below to see the exploit in action.

BUT, when ninty fixes banner bomb this exploit will work ALL WAYS. The TP hack was stoppable because it required you to load the save onto the wii first. Since this can be booted to the game, then insert the SD, there is no way to stop it. Works much the same as the GTA exploit for PSP.
Very very good news in deed. This way we will ALWAYS have a way to get bootmii onto the wii. And as long as you have that, you have full control.
I bet Bushing is drooling over this exploit all ready!

TP hack was based on creating a bogus save file that would crash the game once loaded. This relied on the ability of the wii itself to allow you to transfer the save file from an SD card to the wii system. After it was on there, you loaded up the game with your new save file.
This exploit works differently. You do not have to install anything at all to the wii. So, there is no way at all for the wii to know that it is about to be exploited. You simply boot the game up, then tell it to load your custom stage from the sd card. You could even insert the SD cards AFTER the game has been loaded. Once the game itself has been loaded the wii assigns ALL control to that game. It assumes that since the game has been signed by ninty it can not do anything malicious.
So, the TP hack was stopped simply by intercepting the save file as you tried to install it into the wii system memory. At this point, the wii still has full control of the system. So it was easily checked, and stopped. If someone could find a way to get the TP hack into system memory it would actually still work in the game, since no patch was created for the game. So that vulnerability is still there.
Since the SSBB exploit does NOT need to be installed on the system menu first, the ONLY way to stop it is to fix the exploit in the game itself, and start shipping new discs with the fix on it. Similar to what rockstar did with GTA for PSP when it was used for downgrading.
Hopefully that makes sense. I figured you would have know this all ready. But, this should make it a bit more clear

Thanks for explaining how this exploit works too.

Nintendo's unofficial response: SSBB is out for over a year now...what on earth took you so long?
Anyway as someone who already has over 50 Wii titles and pays for his Wiiware I am really looking forward to BootMii because I prefer that no "unofficial" code is located on my Wii and I really need it for copying ALL my unmovable saves (how retarded can they be) and region free GC and Wii playback.

if I buy a fresh new wii and a fresh new copy of Smash, I can use this exploit for the hacks too? Or did Nintendo fix that exploit in newer copies of Brawl?
