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

If you tell me how to extract it I can provide it (00000017.app).

Not legally you can't. But it's in title\00000001\00000002\content\. It might be named different depending on your extraction method, but it will be about 3.7MB IIRC.

Perfect, so it is 0000001a.app (nand.bin obtained by maxternal nand dump tool and then extracted with showmiiwads).

Interesting difference. Out of curiosity, what firmware version is your Wii U on? I can't say I've searched all that much but I had only seen 0000000c and 00000017 before.

4.0.3.

 

[TheChield]

I have a 4.0.3 too and I have 2 files of 3.7M in this folder : 0000001a and 0000009b (exact same size)
I don't have 00000017 nor 0000000c but I have 00000018, 00000019, 00000099 and 0000009a

Interesting ... and the information I have was actually off of someone else's dump both times. One was Marcan's Wiimpersonator and the other was a tester. I'll have to check my own console next time I get a chance.

Different nand extractors give different names.

No matter 00000017.app(US vWii) or 0000001a(EUR vWii), it's the 00000008.app
in SystemMenu. (3778KB)

I have used "ancast image decrypter" to decrypt this file (become 3504KB ? )
from my US vWii NAND dump and done the necessary "region free everything
patch". (base on this: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Preloader/Priiloader/hacks#System_Menu_4.3_only)

Now my problem is I don't know how to "encrypt" this file back then I can
test under vWii sneek. (it doesn't work to use the "decrypted" file in vWii sneek)

BTW, it's of no use to put those "patch" (hacks) to SMenu.c of sneek esmodule
after more tests.

Is possible to run vWii OS on the current builds of dolphin (preferably Dolphin Emulator 4.0.2)?

 

[Maxternal]

(become 3504KB ? )

it only dumps the encrypted portion of the ancast image as a raw memory dump. The original is in DOL format and there's also some header information that to the ancast image itself that's not dumped http://wiiubrew.org/wiki/Ancast_Image as well as a stub of some sort that's written to 0x80003400 (IIRC) that's not dumped either.

Now my problem is I don't know how to "encrypt" this file back then I can
test under vWii sneek. (it doesn't work to use the "decrypted" file in vWii sneek)

yeah, I think because of the bootROM the hardware needs SOMETHING encrypted in order to start at all. the 1-512 title is usually what's needed to run other non-encrypted titles from NAND. The trick with the system menu, though, is that even un-encrypted it occupies the same memory area as that title

You can't encrypt something without the private key, which is virtually impossible to find.

Well, you could encrypt the ancast image if you had the AES key, but you wouldn't be able to sign it without the private ECDSA key.

The point is that it's not going to happen.

1. Bumpty. You guys didn't answer my question.

2. If no has anything happened yet?

There is no OS running in vWii mode.

 

[Maxternal]

... AND even if you wanted to just run a vWii emuNAND in Dolphin, there's no way because of an extra layer of encryption on the system menu that Dolphin knows nothing about.

I don't want you to kill your Wii U Maxternal. Darn Nintendo for not being open source!

Nintendo? Friendly to third parties?

Has anything here happened yet?

If anything huge had happened, this thread would be lit up with noobs asking for ISO ROM loading and crap. You'll probably see this thread or another front paged if a huge development happens.
