Just like how piracy killed the PSP, and DS right?
Hell, you could throw the PC into that list too.

Piracy didn't kill them, it didn't kill the Dreamcast (since it was already dying), and it won't kill the Wii.

Haha. This will come with a price and its $0 for games and everyone would be happy to pay it.

Yeah, I think Nintendo has made enough money with the Wii already, and it will keep on selling, no matter what.

Whats this talk about piracy going to kill the Wii?

Honestly how can you 'kill' something that has around 4 or 5 actual good games, the rest is already the garbage the other already pirated systems get.

Don't get me wrong, I like the Wii and everything, its just I don't really see how it could get much worse when it comes to game choice... I mean.. come on... Gingerbread Man...

first pages of this thread were great and war-free, it was good to read. too bad the last part is becoming less serious.

great work to waninkoko, and you Dack

I'm more interested in your tools Dack, it's finally your scrubbing tool achievement.

I've some question though :
- Does the iso backup loader (let's use this name for the moment) is based on your scrubbing and trimming process ?

- For the mutli disc iso, is that the cIOS which read the data at the wright place on the DVD, or does the patching process change the DVD TOC before burning ?
or maybe it's both of them, TOC changed + cIOS reading the new TOC ?


If you can't say it yet, i understand, I will wait the release to feed my curiosity ^^
Continue your good work.
Thank you

I'll go for a shot, but I'm guessing I already know the anwser already.

Does this allow you to play GC games or not?

My guess is no due to the fact that you'd have to be running this in Wii mode, and you aren't able to play GC games via Wii mode.

I hope to be told otherwise though.

I remember linkinworm saying it wont let you play GC games for some weried reason, but I', not 100% sure on that, I havent really talked about playing GC games.
I would love to play GC games though because I never played on a GC, I didnt even hear of it, before I got a wii.

Hmm, so it's called something like "dvd backup REAL.dol"? The only iffy part is the 3rd word, I think it's "REAL".
i named it like that, because that one was working, i had more versions after that, and i didnt want to replace a working one with a nonworking one.

Wow, nice work guys!

The final step in wii hacking now is to be able to boot gamecube homebrew ithout using action replay. because if we can boot GCOS, we can boot copied GC games.

also, a good thing would be to see if you can get this incorparated into GeckoOS

We CAN boot GC homebrew!
The New app was just released.
Check it out!

I dunno if it can boot the GCOS, but by reading the wiki, it looks like it patches the wii somehow, so it's not only a channel wich can be installed and removed with the wad installer/uninstaller.

someone confirm? or i've misread the description?

thnx.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
