Hacking cSM Sneak Peek!

[Luigi728]

When I'm reading al this (mostly just reading, I don't know how to make apps for my Wii, but using all those great things like this and the backuploader is already fun for me^^) I've got a strange feeling, it feels like homebrewers are seperating from Nintendo with this

Giving is also a part of receiving.

Fors, if you want, I can put your donate link on my Website's homepage, and link to this thread. Btw, Your dashboard sounds pretty neat, having both cSM and oSM on the same nand, is great, it's kind of like a dual boot.

Thinking about it is it a pretty good idea. Wish I thought of developing this first, considering how dangerous my cSM development is without it...lol.

I was gonna suggest it when we talked earlier, but not knowing how to code, I figured I wouldn't tell you how to do your job...you make it sound not that hard tho? thats good.

I like having multi-boot button-holding options for my ds flash cart, thats what it reminds me of.

Yeah it's not hard at all, the reason why Team Twiizer's didnt pursue this is because they want a permanent solution that cannot be overwritten or broken (by nintendo or homebrewers), so they've turned their attention to boot2 (for bootmii). But for cSM it technically is a permanent solution, as you wont be doing any official updates

and hell, its nice to have.

oh my god is that the game where you're yoshi and you have baby mario on your back? whenever you get hit he floats away and cries obnoxiously? I hated whoever thought that mechanic was a good one. Those poor developers...had to listen to it countless times more than we did.

Yeah, it is, I played it in my nearly 16 year long life, and it was an cool game to play!
Only the damn sound of baby Mario...that kinda sucks

The Koopa's are doing us a favor by kidnapping that pain in the *rear-end* Mario. (Koopa's as in the villans who you fight against throughout the game). Not sure exactly what the game's name was. One day my friend brought that game over, and put it in my hands with the baby crying... I shut it off and gave it back.

 

[Luigi728]

Yeah, now we are obsessed by that game and forsaken is going to build it in in the cSM....
XD

lol, my focus is broken while my wiis are away

.
Thank you again to all those who have donated btw. (you can donate here)

Hmm...why don't we come up a running list of features you all would want cSM to eventually have. I am making this for everyone, and now that i've got some time on my hands we should talk about it.

[Currently Implemented]
- Dashboard (Recovery mechanism, multiboot system menu's, apply patches, etc)
- Backup Support (optional, because those with modchips don't need it)
- Unlocked Disc Channel
- Skip Update Check
- Toggle healthwarning [Quick, Logo, Off]
- Region Free System (Wii/GC Games, Channels)
- NoCopy Flags removed (Copy any savegames / channels)
- Allow overwriting when copying to and from NAND (copies anyways, you dont get that stupid "already in wii system memory" bullshit)
- Twilight Hack Protection (does not search and destroy tphack anymore)

[Ideas]
- No Per System Encryption on saves and channels when installing / exporting. (I wonder if its possible)
- Remodeled Settings Menu (nice and easy layout, no pages to shift through)
- Region Changing (from settings menu)
- Video Output Mode Changing (from settings menu)
- Shop Region Changing (from settings menu)
- Manage WADs through the system menu (add "WADs" option alongside "Savedata" and "Channels")
- Custom ambient background sound
- Change some poor texture choices
- Skinning (method of changing the resource files for cSM from the Dashboard)
- Possibilty of Media Player Integration on main menu (for DVDs I might be able to change the disc loading routine a bit to detect DVD Video and display the logo, then when start is pressed it launches MPlayer)

and more I can't remember atm. Keep the ideas comin'

I like the "add wad" idea
plus maybe you could have custom music of an sd in the system menu

 

[20clarky08]

system updates i.e. IOS's for new games from an alternate server...yours preferably lol

so we would never need to install a newer version.

and could keep compability with new games and such..

just a thought

 

[nicksasa]

managing wads !

 

[djdynamite123]

Them ideas sound just the ticket man! the wii settings are bollox slow as hell.

Add geckoOS (permanent patch unless removed) somehow towards the disc channel so we wouldn't have to launch games from geckoOS? maybe that's too big a idea??

Probably not possible, but I'd really like the newspaper texture changed from the News channel, bloody thing makes the telly look dirty lol

I can't do this, as those files are copyright Nintendo. What you can do though is get ahold of said files (they are in WAD form if they arent available on NUS) and install them using the WAD managing feature
