    Hacking 25th Chaos Communication Congress

    All of this is getting wildly off topic. There are a number of ways to deal with this problem. You might want to reread the original bootmii post, though. It answers your very question. (Hint: Paragraph after the bullet points) I'm not coding any of bootmii (so far) so it's not my place to talk...

    Hacking 25th Chaos Communication Congress

    Well, of course hardware-based piracy hacks will still be there. The point of bootmii vs. piracy is to make it so new kernel-mode-access hacks can be implemented without giving access to whatever warezloader coders want them. AFAIK your gecko os doesn't use custom IOS code (needed for current...

    Hacking 25th Chaos Communication Congress

    Once again, people are listening on IRC. Why aren't you there? Good ideas are never stifled. Perhaps we aren't directly "asking," but we're trying to piece together what we think is best from what we hear. I agree that linux sounds somewhat inefficient for homebrew, and I've voiced my opinions...

    Hacking 25th Chaos Communication Congress

    Nah, region patching was known long before that. What I was referring to was Datel's apploader magic. Which was pretty cool, but not necessarily new or helpful. It was just a method of executing code without having to actually boot the disc.

    Hacking 25th Chaos Communication Congress

    Hah! It's definitely not done. Their goal is to REMOVE reliance on IOS/Nintendo code. As long as all it's doing is booting the hbc/System menu, they're not done.

    Hacking AnyRegion Changer 1.1.2 (3.3K support modification by QLeap)

    3.3 was on launch Korean Wiis. It's unlikely that it's hosted on a server anywhere. And I doubt many people will want 3.4. Still, it's possible to make a 3.3K WAD from a filesystem dump... But not ideal, and not doable for legal distribution. It's unfortunate. I've been pondering this problem...

    Hacking 25th Chaos Communication Congress

    ^ denzel washington makes another important point. For some reason (possibly the ego mentioned above), most people here seem confused about what the target audience of this presentation was. It is certainly not gbatemp. It was the room full of hackers which stood before them. Obviously, what...

    Hacking 25th Chaos Communication Congress

    1. Team Twiizers. 2. Team Twiizers. 3. Team Twiizers. Edit: I don't know what you were expecting. Waninkoko or xt5? *shrug* Pretty much all of the work (besides independent homebrew) was done by Team Twiizers--and their ragtag crew who doesn't mind being included in that "we." That's who...

    Hacking Waninkokos IOS Downgrader v1.0

    Didn't I just tell you that WOULDN'T work? Patchmii uses fakesigning.

    Hacking Waninkokos IOS Downgrader v1.0

    Epic Misinformation! There's a couple possibilities here: 1) The old IOS files are actually not on Nintendo's server anymore. This is wrong, because I can still download them, and you can still download them, and patchmii can still download them, and your Wii can still download them. 2)...

    Hacking Wii Update: 3.3U Out

    http://junks.tonatonari.info/wiiapps/InstallShopIOS51.zip See if this one works for you guys. Edit: Just updated the build. It now will patch the fakesign fix out of the executable if you so choose (it gives you an option). It's pretty much pointless, but it would be pointless not to include it.

    Hacking Why was the Wii so easy to hack?

    Anyway, to answer the original question, it goes like this: Expanding on what marcan said: 1. Decrypting data Running gamecube homebrew let us poke around on the system at a low, simple level. From that, Team Twiizers got the Wii's encryption keys (See Hackmii: "Keys, keys, keys"). 2...

    Hacking Why was the Wii so easy to hack?

    We can essentially control the Wii entirely at this point. Heck, we could replace all the Wii stuff with a simple stub that just loads code from the front SD slot upon boot. The only reason we DON'T do this is because the Wii has a very nice system, and it would take a lot of code to provide...

    Correct, it can never be changed--However, new Wiis may be programmed and manufactured with updated boot1s.

    Hacking BootMii

    Pay close attention to this one! SaveMii works on UNMODIFIED Wiis! As in, people who bricked their Wiis before brick-proofing software became available (BootMii, Starfall to some extent, etc.) will have a use for SaveMii. You can buy and use SaveMii for an ALREADY-BRICKED Wii! BootMii runs as...

    Hacking Wii Message Board freezes my Wii

    You could certainly just delete the offending files. But given an application which lets you delete random files, there's also a lot of bad stuff you could delete. But, yeah. The System Menu "Format" option should work.
