Hacking Autoboot supporting modchips

[WiiCrazy]

i mailed the devs of D2PRO, i hope they can tell us about it...

Any information?

 

[FGOD]

they didn't mail back yet (if they ever will) and the supplier doesn't know anything either...

I have a D2Sun v3 on a D2C NTSC USA Wii with 3.2 Firmware and auto-booting is working. I tried a Mario Party 8 dvd set to autoboot using bootme.

my wiinja supports auto

nice to know can autoboot wadmanager and tp on health warning screen etc

that is why wiicrazy made this thread

how do i patch an image to autoboot. if anybody could answer that question i would dump one of my games update to 3.3u and would test the disc with my argon+spi (fw. 1.8) 13 wire.

found a tool just some seconds ago: http://landeblog.wordpress.com/wii-autoboot-creator/

anyway thx for your hint.

i dumped "star wars: force unleashed", patched it and right now i writing it onto a disc. i'll give feedback as soon as i tested it.

€dit: the disc started right after hitting the a button on the wiimote. so i assume argon spi (fw. 1.8) 13 wire installation supports autoboot.

you don't need to press A, soon as you're on warning screen it will boot up immediately without touching anything.

 

[Screemer]

actually i didn't press anything. i started my wii and my tv was still off. after i switched to the right channel the game already started. i'll try it again in just a second.

€dit: i tried it again and put the disc into the drive after the health screen showed up. right after i put the game in, it started up without pressing anything. btw i used a dvd-rw, which i normaly use to test images. burned at 2.4x with image burn.

edit: i think the D2pro9 has autoboot cause it can be updated by dvd... See here

the d2pro9 update disk runs in gamecube mode.
so you don't have to deal with trucha signed disks, and it doesn't require autoboot.
so afaik, d2pro doesn't have autoboot features.

i'll ask about argon btw

since i have an argon9 in my wii.

screemer, spot on

Hi Guys,

I thought my chip didn't work with autoboot... I was using "Wii Autoboot Creator English" to make my discs auto booting.

This morning I tried Boot_Me -> http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_BootMe and it worked great... even in recovery mode.

Those of you who have only used the GUI autoboot app, try out the command line one.

I guess this means you can change Wasabi to a 'supports' chip - and maybe the idea that the chip has nothing to do with it is plausible.

well actually both software should work since they are very simple, they are just replacing the first byte of the iso,the disc, to ascii zero...

as I previously wrote, there was this possibility that it well may not be a case with the autoboot support in the chip and rather be a symptom of some brick... after my tests of yesterday... it's probably like this way...

Would this (autoboot patching) work on a 4.1 LU64 Wii with a Wasabi Zero mod?

 

[WiiCrazy]

Most new chips support autoboot.

 

[TheShadowRunner]

Wasabi Zero doesn't, that's why I'd like to know if the patcher would do the trick...

 

[WiiCrazy]

Well to what I said, patching the iso for autoboot applies... Later modchips like drivekey and such made it configurable...
