    Hacking New Super Mario Bros. Wii

    This does not work on my d2ckey. I've tried both revisions of IOS53 that Dop-IOS makes available and i just get a black screen from the disc channel and a green screen from neogamma, whether i used a patched mario iso or not. Given I've seen numerous people with d2ckeys having the same issue, I...

    I hate you EB games

    I laughed when I saw their end of finacial year sale this year. In previous years they've usually had some ok 2 for $50 or other deals and there is the odd thing I've picked up. This year though, 90% of the stuff that was on sale was still more expensive than what other places (BigW, Kmart, JBs)...

    Hardware Burning on low speed is worse!

    The dye used in media is designed to work at certain speeds. Some of these dyes (particularly in lower quality media) are designed to have a shorter laser exposure, and when run at lower speeds may cause the dye to become damaged. The reason it is suggested by a lot of people to burn at slower...

    Hacking Discs that could be used without a modchip

    My understanding is that the LG drives are put into a debug mode which stops them from ignoring "unknown" discs. Normally, when a disc cannot be read, the drive is put into a state which doesn't allow the disc to be read. When in debug mode, LG drives are allowed to just dump the data as it...

    Hacking I messaged Nintendo, and this is what I get

    You should have mentioned in your response that in Australia, region locking is considered restriction of trade, and actively taking measure to ensure this restriction is upheld is something that the ACCC would look very negitively upon. While an idle threat, it would be interesting to see how...

    Hacking Can your moded Wii read DVDRW ?

    I've had issues but a burn has either worked or it hasn't, no inbetween. I'd say its related to the fact the disc is quite old and had seen a bit of use.

    Hacking Why .elf?

    ELF stands for Executable and Linkable Format. It's a well established standard for executables, particularly on Unix based systems. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_and_Linkable_Format .gba and .nds aren't really comparible, because they are ROMs and not executables. According to the...

    Hacking Removing 'copy protection' from saved games

    It is more likely that the Wii's memory and SD have different block sizes or overhead in storing the files. I just checked and the Mario Kart save is 23 blocks on the Wii and 24 on the SD. Edit: Just went a borrowed a copy from a friend who lives right near by. You are right that it only copies...
