Unscrambling Wii Disks now possible

Posted Dec 22, 2006 at 8:26PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Wii Tags: ISO

Some people just thought it wasn't possible, but look, here we are. The GOD/WOD unscrambler is, as the title of this post says, an application that allows you to create ISOs of your Wii games on your PC.

Before you folks scream "Jolly Roger," please note that the app isn't like the infamous DeCSS DVD Decrypter. For you to make Wii ISOs you first need to modify the firmware on your DVD drive to allow Wii disks to be read. This means that the first step in the long-ish ISO making process isn't for those folks without the necessary skillz.

You have to somehow modify your DVD firmware to disable the ECD (error checking code), after that this program will facilitate descrambling the dumped file into the ISO. Not exactly similar to this dubious situation, but we're getting there.

This blogger remembers thinking up a what-if scenario before. Well, things seem to slowly (speed-of-continental-drift-slowly) moving in that direction. Now if they can only get around the lack of GFX acceleration...

This story sucks? This story rocks!

The writing on this site is abysmal:

Who the ***** thought "it" wasn't possible? Seriously? What console hasn't been hacked?

"Jolly Roger" is not an explicitive, nor synonymous with "bull*****" or whatever you're trying to get at.

"This means that the first step in the long-ish ISO making process isn't for those folks without the necessary skillz." This sentence adds absolutely nothing to the article.

Furthermore spelling skills with a "z" makes you sound like you are 12 (though I assume you are).

and so on.

I'm too drunk to continue harping on your English deficiencies, but PLEASE, just try to think for ten seconds before you post an article.

Thank you.

please learn how to write good articles. second, you have no clue what you are talking about, dont act like you do, makes your site look like a jerk blogging.

# whats wrong with being 12 — Guest 2006-12-23 02:21

im 12, and who says everyone uses a z. i mean come on, all 12 year olds are not dumbasses like ppl say they are. i kno how to write wiimote scripts and im 12. I know C and im 12. Jesus lots of ppl have things against 12 year olds just because they are still kids

# Shut it. — Guest 2006-12-23 02:46

Shut your mouth. If you don't like the webiste, the don't go to it. I think this site is really good filled with lots of information. They do a great job here.

# i dont think... — Guest 2006-12-23 04:27

i dont think "none" or "heh" were trashing the amount of good info on this site, but how bad and stupid its worded.i agree wholeheartedly.its like a childhood friend you hung out with just for his cool toys, even though he was a real loser.they really need to refine their writing team, but for now, this website does have the most up to date info.

# to joe — Hockeytree 2006-12-23 07:04

Heres whats wrong with being twelve, you think ppl and kno are the correct ways to spell people and know.

You lie about knowing how to write in C.

You refuse to capitalize or punctuate your sentences.

Thats why people have problems with twelve year olds.

# I think... — Guest 2006-12-23 07:58

I think the z was just a joke because a lot of people use the "z" to make it sound "1337".

Great news.

# no i wasnt — Guest 2006-12-23 09:01

no i wasnt trashing the info. im trashing the writing style. if you type like an ass it just comes out wrong adn sounds like youre bsing.

# Heh.. — Guest 2006-12-23 09:18

I think you're all twelve year olds... T_T

Its People, not ppl, and Know, not kno.

# It wasnt meant that way... — Guest 2006-12-23 10:23

"Jolly Roger" wasn't meant to be used as an explitive, it was meant to replace "Pirate"...

As in, that's what people are called if they burn games they don't own so they can play them on modded systems...

And apparently uptight *****s have a problem with that, so "pirate" isn't exactley a term of endearment.

# Re: writers here are horrible — Guest 2006-12-23 10:51

Obviously you come to this website for a reason. But yet you trash it and keep coming for more? It doesn't make any sense. Make your own website so you post what the f*** you want on there. People like you are the ones that are filling this site up with "jerk blogging" statements... what a loser. Thanks this is the first and last time I felt I needed to post something.

# Not exactly, Guest — Guest 2006-12-23 11:34

The information on this site is pretty good. Thats why I come here. The writing is awful however. It's quite annoying, but not enough to make me stop coming here for the info the site provides.

# Hmmm — Guest 2006-12-23 15:16

But can a Wii play backups?

# Implications (or lack thereof) — Gryff33 2006-12-23 16:57

Not only can Wii not play the backups, NOTHING can play the backups. I think the writer of this story is jumping a little too quickly to the idea of playing Wii games on the PS3.

# references — Guest 2006-12-23 17:59

so you have a problem with skillz, and 1337, and haxxor, and pwn? learn to have fun with your language...

Oh, and since you missed the Jolly Roger - pirate reference, it only proves that you're not that smart...

# SHUT THE **** UP — Guest 2006-12-23 23:49

GET OFF YOUR ****ING HIGH HORSE NONE YOU

D***HEAD SORRY FOR CAPS BUT IM PISSED AT THIS LOSER

# SHUT THE **** UP — Guest 2006-12-23 23:51

GET OFF YOUR ****ING HIGH HORSE NONE YOU D***HEAD SORRY FOR CAPS BUT IM PISSED AT THIS LOSER

# What? — Guest 2006-12-23 23:53

Where did he say that you can play wii games on your ps3 again????????????

And wii will play backups soon enough.

# I agree, Bill — Guest 2006-12-24 04:44

There is a lack of.... coherent writing on this site, but there is plenty of information (and a variety of it) that is present that the writing just doesn't detract enough from my interest to keep me from returning.
