Wii ISO Loader video: play your Wii games without modding your console |
Listed in: Wii Tags: homebrew community, ISO, waninkoko, Zelda
Ó
A video of Wii ISO Loader was recently released by the developer, showing off how the current build can now load The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess from the Wii Homebrew Channel. It seems that users will soon be able to play backup copies of their Wii games without having to resort to modding their console.
Suffice to say, there's going to be a lot of buzz in the homebrew scene once a stable copy of this app is finally out. In any case, you can take a look at the evidence for yourself by playing the video we've provided below.
Thanks to Bam for the tip!

I am just waiting for this to support USB HDD's, then I have some money to donate to wani!!
Keep it up bud. this NEEDS to be made to run outside of HBC though. It wont take long for HBC beta 8.5 or 9 to come out that specifically blocks this homebrew from running on it. So you need to make it install as a channel that can be loaded from the menu.
Also, to the guy above, this does not help you. your wii MUST still have a working dvd drive. This just allows you to run it on the wii with no mod chip, but you must still have the copied game in there and reading. Thus the term "iso" is a bit miss leading. Because once its burned it is no longer an iso, but thats whats playing.

The ISO Loader works like this. You create a legal backup of a game you own, convert the ISO file with a special program then burn it. After this, you copy over the ISO Loader to the Homebrew Channel and run it. It will boot the legal backup. Pretty simple. Oh, and no modchip is required. However, it does require you to have Waninkoko's Custom IOS installed.
This is a unprecedented moment in Nintendo Wii hacking history as is probably going to cause a massive movement in the scene. Too bad Nintendo didn't take Bushing's advice on blocking the method of doing this. Maybe they will now? Of course, this sort of thing isn't condoned by the "general" homebrew scene and when it's released will ultimately lead to some turmoil.
TehSkeen doesn't support piracy. We don't index releases, we don't spread torrents, we don't run contests to dump VC/Wiiware games. Heck, we don't host any tools to inject WAD files with. Waninkoko's motivation for creating the ISO Loader is unknown, but it is illegal and morally wrong to use it for booting illegal copies of games you don't own.
With that all said and done, what do you all think of this milestone in the Nintendo Wii scene? Do you support the project? Do you think it'll force Nintendo to take some sort of action against the "scene"? Oh, please keep out all of the "it's fake" BS in your replies. It's real. Period.

This is NOT a ISO loader, its a BACKUP loader.
All it does is replace the modchip. Nothing new.
When an ACTUAL ISO LOADER comes out then that will be the biggest news ever.
As I have a modchip in mine I'm not going to bother with this at all.

Look at the PSP. That can play ISOs and its still a big seller. Yea, UMDs are dying off but its not because of the custom firmware its coz UMDs are a bad idea.
80% of Wii games are a bad idea so an ISO loader wont change much in the sales of games but it will sell a LOT of Wiis after its released.

There are LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS you don't consider when you open your mouth.

This is a SOFT mod. At any point in time Nintendo can kill it.
In fact, letting it slide and letting the exploit become released only to SMASH it later will strengthen trust with developers.
Either way, most of the Wiis success is first party anyway so...doesn't matter one bit. But you knew that right? HAHAHAHA!!!!

Do you come here just to piss off fan boys or something? Because it's working it seems.

But, since you put it the way you did, I wonder how Bushing feels knowing that he is directly responsible for a solderless backup loader being created?
This will certainly devide the Wiibrew scene. Up until now everyone was kissing Bushings butt saying "what are you going to do next". When I bet you a LOT of them all along just wanted the info needed to make something just like this. Now that its out and ready to run I wonder how big the "moral ism camp" is going to stay up??
dont get me wrong here. I fully stand by what Bushing stands for. But he assumes that everyone is going to use this for illegal things. When really all that has been made here is a wii emulator. I dont see this any different than a Snes emu, or nes emu, or gc emu. It allows you to play backup copies of games that you may or may not own the rights to on your wii. Only difference is that some would argue the Snes is dead, so the devs got their money, we just want to play mario all stars.
But, its still all in the same moral code. I suppose this is just a darker shade of grey than the emulators are?

Hey,
Check out this new site I found called GiftMonkey.com. They give away free high end Laptops, Video Game Consoles, iPods, Plasma TVs, and they even have GPS Navigation Systems.
This site is different from all of those others. They don't give you a time limit, and they don't make you signup for 10 sponsors yourself. All you have to do is try one of their sponsored offers like eBay (which doesn't cost anything), refer your friends, and they ship your free gift to your door, also free!
