Hacking [NEED TESTERS] OurLoader - Region free disk loader

[KiiWii]

Here's a data point for you

Tested on USA Wii U with USA Super Mario Maker disc, black screen!

Oh dear.

USA game on USA console doesn't even boot...Something is drastically wrong here...

Its sure going to be an interesting development cycle for you!



Perhaps take DDD source, and strip it back until you get the desired results?

My theory:
Software that (eventually) runs within this chain-loader will be subject to the same limitations as Loadiine GX2's region free setup. In Loadiine GX2, you may need to perform language/other resource patches to make out-of-region games work within Loadiine GX2. So my theory is that you may also need to get Cafiine ready to perform those patches...

Though this obviously can't happen until the program actually launches in-region discs, lol.

We need a way to redirect language files as well. Some sort of patcher. If it doesn't find one region language folder, tries another one. Arbitrary, that could work on both out of region discs and out of region games on loadiine.

But that's just my theory

Somebody forgot to init their function pointers! Don't worry, happens all the time. Here's a quick fix.

Update: with this patch applied, the app seems to just boot Mii Maker.

If it's anything like DDD (which it's based on), it shouldn't have the problem Loadiine GX2 has with out-of-region. DDD doesn't seem to have this problem. I've always been a bit curious to why when booting a game from disc in DDD that hitting the home menu will display the name of the game actually running and not MiiMaker like when you boot from the SD Card in Loadiine GX2 (out-of-region discs will also have their save files on the Wii U itself, not the SD).

I'm waiting for this tool to include the hotfix proposed by @QuarkTheAwesome, otherwise a black screen will most probably be my only result.
Once updated, I'll have the following games to test :

- Just Dance: Yokaï Watch Special (JPN)
- Just Dance Japan (JPN)
- Taiko No Tatsujin Tomodachi Daisakusen (JPN)

All these games were running perfectly using DDD's region bypass a while ago, let's hope the same for this tool asap :3

You may have missed my edit; but with my hotfix the app just boots into Mii Maker (AU console (EUR? I think?) with an AU Hyrule Warriors). I think the path that it tries to run ("/vol/storage_odd03") is not quite right.

This seems kind of sketchy. He made a region free loader that he can't even test. It doesn't even work. I'm not sure this guy knows what he's doing.

 

[pwsincd]

hes trying though.... he gets my handshake

 

[wj44]

I already posted the problems here. A patched version is attached.

He's trying though, please try and cut him some slack. Others are pitching in, so there is progress.

[Cybernatus]

All my JPN games are now working with the last commit from @wj44. Good Job

 

[LysergCooltyp]

Pokken Tournament (JPN) works now too with the hotfix.

 

[xXDungeon_CrawlerXx]

Great!
It boots Hyrule Warriors (JPN) an my European Console!
I can confirm that it works!

 

[ShadowOne333]

Oh cool!
So region free disc loading is now a thing?
This is awesome!

Yep! And it doesn't shows that you're playing MiiMaker It shows the original Game title

Hackers really do what Nintendont

Now I just need to buy a cheap game from Amazon.

 

[xXDungeon_CrawlerXx]

If it only would be possible to boot game backups from disc :'D
I would try to burn my own game made with Unity4WiiU on a disc and play it
