I remember looking on GBATemp somewhere and marcan said that it uses 2MB of Nintendo code. And that PatchMii already had these fixes and more.

really what he do? did not read disc so it failed?

Thnx for the headsup, I'll get revision 2 right way.

god people dont understand what this is for



this mainly unlocks the dvd drive, 1 allows you to read ALL of the disk nitrotuxs doesnt,(to much to explain and for me to be arsed) 2 allows you to use the dvd drive as a rom storage medium, 1st emular of its kind on wii, the included emulator only allows this with the cIOS installed as it incudes these DVD patches.

This won't help you ONE BIT towards getting pirated games to play. No game has ever requested IOS 249, so the custom IOS will NEVER RUN A PIRATED GAME.

The only way to do that will be to use an IOS number that's ALREADY IN USE, meaning you risk permanently screwing up an official IOS install.

Why exploit the Wii? leave it alone, the more you annoy nintendo the more they will annoy you.

This is utterly useless. This was made by a guy that steals code and passes it off as his own. Do not install this, unless if you want to lose the ability to play your Wii games.

Since it is installed as an IOS that has never existed. It will not run commercial games. Maybe he doesn't take credit for the code, but he doesn't give credit where credit is do. For example, to bushing.

the code he now uses is from patchmii, which is liscened under the GPL so he can use it at will as long as he includes sorce(not sure if he did that tho yet)

what you guys need to understand is that this creates a back door to the wii. Nintendo owns ALL the legit IOS's on the wii. Currently there are MANY that allow you to run flaws. Every game accesses a DIFFERENT ios which allows for different features. Any game that REGUIRES an update is reguiring you to install the NEW ios. It NEVER overwrites the old ones though. This is because your old games STILL use the old IOS.



One of the updates that ninty released in 3.3 patched flaws in one of the OLD ios's. This is what made it so that trucha disks would not work. They exploited that IOS flaw. Now, since its patched Trucha is broken, and so is the datel free loader.



NOW, by installing this custom IOS it is WIDE OPEN. so anyone that is making a custom homebrew, or wants to make Generation 2 trucha disks can force it to REQUIRE this patched wide open IOS file. IN a sense it is custom firmware. There is still no reason why nintendo could not just make it delete the IOS in a future update. But then the cat and mouse game gets more interesting. this is only the FIRST cIOS. Its not difficult for someone to make custom patches for ALL existing ios files to open up their protection. Its also not difficult to create a the same ios with a new number. So for example, if ninty tried to wipe out cIOS 555, it could dupelecate itself as cIOS 556, or 666, or 787 or any number it wanted.



The only problem with all this is that every time you change the cIOS number you also have to change ALL the homebrews that call for that number. The trouble is in figuring out how to make it so ninty can NOT alter the cIOS without the right permissions. I dont know if its possible to encorperate a password protection to overwritting it, but it could be worth a shot.



The whole deal with Waninkoko and bushing is more about ethics than anything. I am sure Bushing wishes he could STOP waninkoko from dabling down the road he is. He is certainly on the edge of legal and piracy. And if I were a betting man I would BET that waninkoko will in some way be responsible for ANY ISO loader type homebrew that comes out. My opinion about the if ninty will leave us alone if we keep it on the legal side differs from wiibrew. Ninty has an obligation to the developers to keep the system locked up. As long as unsigned code is able to be run on the wii there is ALWAYS a threat to the developers property. I dont care if its in the form of an ISO loader or not. Ninty will NOT think homebrew is ok. Look at the gutar hero clone. Its homebrew, and its totally legit. YET I bet activision is counting the LOSS of sales of guitar hero because that peice of homebrew exists. They maybe did not steal GH, but they certainly lost 1 or 2 or 3 sales because of it. So it gives an unfair advantage to kids with programming skills. They dont pay for dev kits, they dont pay developer rights, they dont pay distributer fees, they dont even have to pay to set it up on wiiware. Sure they dont make money off it either, but the legit dev also does NOT make money off their investment. So essentially you are still stealing potential sales from them, which is lost revenue.



I think thats enough of a rant for me for now. I think this is certainly a step in the right direction, and puts us closer to what I would like to see availible on the wii.

Can someone direct me to the instructions to dumping to USB stick?

I keep getting an error when it trys to create the ISO.

It works to SD but errors to USB.



Do I have to create a dir or something before?

What format does the USB stick have to be in? I got it at FAT32.
