Hacking Coding vWii 3-core support - everything you need to know.

Millertime was a Ray Lewis dupe, I have removed posts above as to not make his IP public.

The lesson here is, do not make dupes, we will discover you one way or the other!

No biggie, I was wondering if I said something wrong I've already informed those who he deceived via PM.

Slightly more on topic: Does anybody know of a good free guide for learning ASM basics? I'd like something I could go through in a week or so. I'm not expecting to be able to code in such a short time, but I'd like to understand the basics so I can at least tell what it's supposed to do. I have no *%#@ing idea what that is supposed to be in the first post. The only bits that make sense to me are commented out.

I have been reading these tutorials here joostin , i have refreshed my memory from over 30 yrs ago , when i understood the basics listed on the linked site. The basics are the same. I havent found anything else to use

the commented out part that makes sense is kind of a description of what the next few lines of ASM are actually doing.

The problem is not the assembly. The problem is that you need to know how a microprocessor works on it lowest level.
Assembly is basically just a readable way to write down the cpu instructions.
Some knowledge of binary logical operations and arthimetic will be needed as well. Learning all that in a week will be a
challenge at least.

I gave up at "you need to know".

There is a saying in my country "Rome wasn't build up in a day"
(They did manage to burn it down in a day but that's not related to the saying)

It wasn't my intention to scare you off.
I learned the basics when processors still were 8 bit and far less complex than they are know.
It's hard to say how difficult it would be to start learning it now from the beginning. It surely depends upon your motivation to do it.

<snip> Back peddling that causes a vacuum. That is a more pleasant way to describe it. Tried to detail in a blog as it is a blog and it said it is my space. The last several posts had a lot to do with me and what happened to me. I don't believe this to be off topic, nor does it appear to be flaming or trolling given the context. I promised good behavior.

On topic, way to load, Maxternal mentioned this, to Linux and activate 3 cores when? Need advanced ppc stuff for using the three cores. Coincidentally, Marcan detailed this in the espresso blog and posts in this/Linux threads. I was recruiting coding, Linux, and ppc skill sets. For weeks before about 3 days ago. This is all public in threads. I hope Maxternal succeeds as he began this work. It appears Maxternal posted a few updates.

 

[LilaQ]

So I guess this thread is done, eh?

 

[obcd]

Nope, it's not.
There just isn't anything to announce in public at the moment.
Figuring out those things takes time.
Altough people often speak about a "source tree", programs don't grow on trees.

Sooo, back on topic... I've been following this thread for a bit now and have found it pretty interesting besides the distraction 2 pages ago.

I did some work on the Wii early on with a USB loader, but haven't touched code on it for a while. The nice thing for me is that the CPU architecture is the same as a 'system' that I do spend a good amount of time working with doing assembly level coding... As far as the linux side goes I'm quite comfortable compiling a kernel and such, kinda look forward to the challenge of getting one to boot properly with the modifications on the Wii-U honestly.

Not sure how to jump in and help, or if there's a group that is setup working together on it. If I could offer what little free time I've got and had any needed skills, I'd be happy to help. Honestly I probably just need to gather up some code that's been listed in the thread and stare at it for a little bit, get an idea of where the project is at and where it needs to end up. If someone wants to contact me and let me know how to get in the loop, please do as I'd be happy to help wherever I can!

Send a PM to Maxternal and Ninja. More help is always appreciated

The more people who know about ASMl, the better

Just wanted to update that we have officially proven to ourselves that we are running PowerPC code again after resetting and doing the race attack.
Then next step if to finish all that ASM from OP so it'll actually have something to run.

Going is slow finding time to actually work on this but it IS moving along.

LOL
( and that was supposed to be the easy part. )

 

[Ray Lewis]

Thanks for the update. That is awesome Maxternal.

 

[marcan_troll]

FWIW, you may want to read through the fail0verflow article again, as it was updated with a couple details at some point.

Maxternal still could use help. Anxiously awaiting more updates Maxternal. I also love f0f posts.
