my cSM (i guess you could call the second half to wii "custom firmware", ios being the other half) is just about ready for testing.
cSM v0.1a. Complete system menu replacement, reads and boots backup discs like they were retail games from the disc channel, no reboot required! EVEN READS GC BACKUPS!!!! except I have to patch MIOS to use the custom reads of cIOS for them to be playable. but that's not far off at all.
i still have to write the installer though(cause i can't distribute the system menu patched the way it is, its illegal...that's why there are "installers" to install cIOS, etc).
cSM runs soley off of IOS251 (included), i made it separate from the other cIOS installs for campatibility with older loaders (in case people still use them). I made the changes on a fresh system menu 3.2 instead of the version i hacked to hell haha, I figured for the initial releases I'll just get main functionality, then the next release i'll add in the custom settings menu (completely modified graphics and layout allowing on the fly region swapping, no copy bit settings, move dvd channel, video mode, etc using my hidden channel modules), and then the following release the graphically altered main system menu. Functionality first, polish last.
I've been working on cSM (custom system menu) for nearly a month, and its about time to drop some information. Expect a beta very very soon. I have the common decency to wait until Wiigator releases his gamma of the backup loader, he's done great work.
Cheers,
Fors
PS, the cSM is currently 3.2U, but when I write the installer it will make the changes to 3.2E as well![]()
Sounds great man , well done - and also well done with the mutual respect for wiigator part - its good to see people working on different projects without conflicts and having respect - thats the thing this community needs
