Wait what? What does that mean..? Does that mean we don't need a modchip and just this application to play back up games?

No. After modifing a Wii Iso the "Sign" Nintendo put on the games will be invalid.
Then after modifing you need to make a new "sign" to the game to make it run again.

calm down dudes, if it's not a fake, we may be able to bypass the firmware updates

But this could lead into someone manages to make changes in a games update to make custom firmware! That runs backups!

Right, so would a tool like this make wii scrubber obsolete? I dont know enough about the wii disk stucture to know. For example, would we be able to extract the data files from a wii game, ignore the garbage, and re-encrypt the datafiles/structure to rebuild a smaller iso?

I imagine this tool could be used for modchip users to load homebrew from a disk, but he also mentions that channels could be created with it.

Perhaps someone could clarify, as the english on the linked page is a little hard to follow.

This tool just makes a new "sign" for the game that says its valid.
But i would say Wiiscrubber still great but yes maybe it would be better to remove the data permanently from the disc.
That would allow us to "shrink" the isos making them smaller.





It looks like you cant decrypt scrubbed isos!

I dont think anyone is actually seeing what we can do with this..

I can be wrong, but think guys.. What if we take all the firmware and region files of the Iso and put the ones from a USA game that works on all regions ? Suposedly since it will Re Encrypt and Sign it.. It should work on the Wii, and as the files have been changed the game will work on Pal or Usa, even if its a Japanese game that shouldnt work right ?

Maybe its a bit confused but shouldnt i be right ?

    @Psionic Roshambo, idk
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    i dont have an sd card adapter but I have an usb sd card adapter

    Old people games
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    its not the one that comes with the r4
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    doesnt work (my flashcard is from r4isdhc.com)
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    might install ysmenu first
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, why?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    but why choose it over ysmenu @Psionic Roshambo?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    bc im stupid?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    yea ik im stupid
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    good night
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
