Hacking [Archive] Waninkoko's Homebrew Stuff

[Jitoku]

Oh hi Jitoku your RecoverMii app is amazing

Hi DaCharmander2, I appreciate you like my RecoverMii but here is not place to say it. It can be counted as thread advertising.

Update: There, everything is mostly done.
-I have found all possible versions,
-reorganised the folders in MEGA.nz,
-put all the dols and elfs in zips with the original licenses and readme's,
-and removed the 'rareness' scale.

If you still think I did something wrong or are still pissed on me for making this, then leave, walk away from your computer and eat lunch (or breakfast, or dinner, depends on time zone).

For now, there is no confirmed existance of previous versions.

I have 1.0 and 1.1 of wad installer AND uninstaller.
I miss 2.0, and strangely I have a wad version of wad installer2.1 (not sure it's official or someone packed it into wad).


I didn't check all your links, but I can say it's a lot better like that.
Though, some packages are still not official, some are missing the icon.png and meta.xml, and some have the structure modified (no more folders in the zip).
I don't know how you get all the files, if you repacked them yourself, or if you delete contents from files you find, but I just feel it's too bad to provide yet another version of the packages instead of official releases.
But this is already a lot better than direct dol/elf.

I also have sources of few tools. So far you only archived the applications, but I think sources are also important to archive.
I know you didn't complete it yet, you'll add more tools later. you are missing computer tool for example, I'm almost sure the Video Mode Changer is from Waninkoko. I didn't use it recently to verify

Wait, really?
I'm not even aware some of these packages had meta's or icons, and if they had one, they were edited or not from the source they came from, so I got rid of them. Give me an exact list, and I'll do my best.
Yes, it's sort of bad to provide another link, but I get these from websites that are either abandonned or contain .zip files that are modified
(a great example being wii.scenebeta.com). I basicly just rename them and bring them back to their original state as best as I can.
And yes, I saw that Waninkoko uploaded some source codes, most of them are from the WAD Manager.

All good my friend. You don’t have to prove anything.

then, maybe that's my files which are not good or probably repacked.
like this one : wadmanager1.21.zip

Yours :
README.es.txt
README.txt
WAD-Manager_v1.21.dol

Mine :
wadmanager/boot.dol
wadmanager/icon.png
wadmanager/meta.xml
README.es.txt
README.txt

checking the file's date, mine are 1 hour older (same CRC32), and flagged as windows instead of linux in 7zip file's properties.
yours is probably the official release.


when I'll have the time, I'll try to make a list of files you are missing and give them to you.

I got this unmodified version from Brewology,

Waninkoko didn't add a LICENSE.txt until v1.4, and he never created meta's or icons until probably a late time, so this is the official release.

Also,

This is the result of making posts like this, you create a whole fucking bible with proof .

Idk anyone who still uses his apps, and a few of them caused thousands of bricks. I dont think it is a good idea to be bringing them back into the spotlight.

I used his stuff ALL the time back in the day on Wii (10 years ago I think). My Wii never bricked.

 

[KingMuk]

It makes me happy that someone (you) is keeping waninkoko's wii goodies in memory AKA for historical purposes.
I remember using Waninkoko's shit way back in 09 when I first modded my Wii

Hmm...I'm not even sure if this is a thing or not but it would be nice seeing a HUGE archive of like all the custom Wii Channels the community created AND Wii Themes too. Those were some damn creative dudes I'm serious!

Edit: Just want to state that I NEVER bricked any Wii's using Waninkoko's stuff
Edit: And with that being said --> NOOB's that are reading this DO NOT USE these app's; They are OUTDATED AF.

My Wii never bricked.

depends which consoles and which tools and when you did it.
for example, installing cIOS rev13 or lower on a LUH console will brick it. yours is probably LEH. (note: my memory is fuzzy, maybe I mixed the letters)
at that time, it looked like nintendo released consoles which bricked if you installed a cIOS and it was nintendo's fault, while it was some time event not properly done in the installer but not affecting old consoles.

system updater would also have brick you if you didn't have the IOS for the targeted menu.

there are things like that which were small mistakes but enough to brick many users. of course it wasn't his intention, just little things he didn't thought about, or didn't try on enough different setup before releasing a tool (probably to be the first to release them).
his tools weren't made to be bickers, just some unfortunate circumstances met with some setups.

Oh the nostalgia, both the apps and the drama in the comments. Good times.

I've placed a big colorful screen which is the first thing people see and they still aren't happy, how disgraseful.

 

[MaxiBash]

I have 1.0 and 1.1 of wad installer AND uninstaller.

Getting back on that, can you send me 1.0 and 1.1 of the installer?

 

[tswntk]

while keeping evil archives is just as debatable as not destroying the Pandora's box, I guess it is important to also include links to the past event of Waninkoko's bricks for the Wii/PS3 scenes as they are fading with time and some users even swear they never had a problem with Waninkoko tools!
