Homebrew InspectMii - See dozens of your Wii's settings

[JoostinOnline]

Intended as a companion app to SysCheck, InspectMii shows and logs every single significant setting on your Wii. It is especially useful if you are looking for any conflicting or potentially problematic settings. Info is grabbed from SYSCONF, dhcp.dat, and setting.txt.

InspectMii v1.2
You can download the source at Google Code

Good Jostin, very informative app.

 

[asper]

Really good app ! It is great to see someone still coding for Wii-vWii !

 

[Arm73]

Very cool, thank you very much, keep up the good work !

Congrats for the initial release

Thanks Joostin, very much appreciated.

Thanks guys.

By the way, as you may have guessed, those SSID's in the video are fake. The Parental Password isn't real either.

But I love this program so much; it's just so... useful. I might decide it to get it one of these days, though. Don't really feel like loading apps onto my card.

That's what wiiload is for. I almost never eject my SD card from my Wii or Wii U. I just send apps and dols over wifi.

Some people at Wii-Homebrew.com had some concerns about this app, especially because of the Parental Settings. I'd like to share my response:

I don't speak German, but from what I understand, you are concerned about the parental information and privacy. I'd like to address that.

First, I would like to assure you that NO data is uploaded. Everything is read from files on your Wii and stored to InspectMii.log, but it doesn't go any farther than that. It is open source, so you can see for yourself.

You'll notice I didn't include the network passkey. I wrote up that code, but decided not to include it because I felt it was an unnecessary risk. What if somebody posted their log online and forgot to remove it? It might present a security risk, which is something I certainly don't want. I wrote this app to help people.

As for showing the parental information, I struggled with that for awhile. On one hand, it would be helpful for people who forgot their PIN/answer, or who bought a used Wii. On the other, kids might use it to bypass parental controls. In the end, I decided to include it. There has been a way to bypass the parental settings for years, so I decided my concerns were unwarranted.

If you have more concerns, I would be happy to address them.

If you didn't see my mention on Twitter, InspectMii v1.1 is now live.

did u ever consider and all in one app , syscheck and inspectmii kinda scenario..

 

[JoostinOnline]

did u ever consider and all in one app , syscheck and inspectmii kinda scenario..

Yeah, but it was waaaaaaaaaay easier to build this from the ground up instead of making a ton of modifications to SysCheck HDE. Ground up meant less work, less code, and less chance of bugs. I think I went the right way.

I've actually started getting tiny blisters on my fingers from typing so much, so I try to cut it to a minimum.

 

[pwsincd]

Yeah i understand the "why break what isnt broke" approach , i just figured they were such similar apps that it wouldve been a cool all in one app ..

They are similar, but at the same time very different. SysCheck tells you what's installed, InspectMii tells you what settings you have.

 

[Acidflare]

what about having an option to boot to syscheck(GX) ?

 

[JoostinOnline]

I'd have to write a loader, and assume that SysCheck is always in the same folder. I think people can bear to exit to the HBC, then launch SysCheck HacksDen Edition.

 

[Acidflare]

is there a difference between GX and HDE?

 

[Acidflare]

also can InspectMii change the country selection mine doesn't work for some reason every time I open it in the system settings, it brings me to a opera page with a page not found

 

[JoostinOnline]

is there a difference between GX and HDE?

Yes. HDE has a bunch of bug fixes and new features. There is a link to it in the InspectMii description.

also can InspectMii change the country selection mine doesn't work for some reason every time I open it in the system settings, it brings me to a opera page with a page not found

This doesn't modify your NAND. You have a (partially) region changed Wii. Run SysCheck HDE and InspectMii, then upload both the logs. I'll help you fix it.
