This looks great. Once this is fully running, a lot of people (Myself included) will be quite happy.

 

[happydance]

does it need some hard modification on the wii?

 

[runner12326]

I wouldn't say so, since most hacks come originally out of hardware mods, like iPhone jailbreaks and the PS3 hack.

 

[ocdetective]

Ah now something much more interesting than the 4.3 update that everyone is flapping about!

Does it work with wii remote?

 

[jan777]

We don't know any shit yet.

Lets wait for more info

He showed the open wii. To show that the disc drive wasn't in.. and or to see that he wasn't using a wode or anything.. Idk if he has sound working though.If you read his twitter he said somehting about it not working... Or something..recalling from memory don't take my word for it..

IIRC Starfox Assault was one of those notorious streaming audio games, and hard to get working properly on any method anyways.

 

[Gnargle]

Is this a supposed hard drive ISO loader for GC games then?

 

[Justin121994]

Who knows If the audio was working we.hope he's figured it out.. Prob not though because he put backround music. Love the ending though pretty funny.

Actually it's pretty easy to get most of the audio streaming games to work as backups, some of the audio is just missing then. Some of these games are problematic to boot as RETAIL discs, this includes Eternal Darkess, Starfox Adventures and Zelda Ocarina of Time/Master Quest.

To get the missing audio to work, he would need to find out how that audio is encoded, figure out a way to use the audio processor at the same time the game does it and then have the free resources to do so. I would say the chance that this is done anytime is as low as GC usb loading itself, maybe even lower.

That's what i meant with "properly".
Not that it matters much though, beggars cant be choosers.
Let's just wait and see how this develops.

I personally hope this uses the gamecube memory card and not some virtual device, so I can use it as if I was actually using a disk based backup.

 

[Slimmmmmm]

Awesome. I think this is a lot further along than most people would have thought just a couple of weeks ago..

I've got a WODE, but I think this could be better and free in time. Maybe the future will see the GC mem cards integrated into the nand emu allowing lots of space and an easy safe way to backup GC saves. (the only 3 homebrew that allow this have many bugs). Maybe this will allow to cheating in GC games and changing variables while the game runs (see the recent Wii POC vid).

Anyway, I think this is shaping up real nice and fast.

Q... Donation Link ?

 

[SanGor]

I highly doubt it will use any kind of memcard emulation that would be insane...
