Hacking DIOS MIOS! GC ISO Loader proof of concept (Starfox Assault)

[keine]

I hate to be so critical of something so great I'm getting for free. This has to be untold amounts of work. I don't want to criticize crediar, but....uhg.

I just want DIOS MIOS.

 

[harmor]

Is Crediar still working on DIOS MIOS? If so can someone post any updates on how far along he is?

As posted some pages before:

09/08 Update

crediarI run into a basically unfixable problem with the current method of loading DIOS MIOS through injecting it into MIOS
I already coded up some tools which are able to make a valid MIOS file that can be booted directly without injecting,
But since I replace MIOS now completely, I have to add the important code from MIOS to DIOS MIOS which will take
some RE and coding time.

With some luck it releases this year.

I personally think they should've stopped with Guitar Hero... they got all those fanboys and left their old stuff behind. I've only liked their side project "Phase"

DEFINITELY agree. Phase was easy and simple. It just tried to create a level from your own music, sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't, but that is the direction I think all music games should go towards.

i cant believe that the ps3 got a usb loader before the wii got a GC USB loader... thats... yeah...

um no ?

We had WODE for a long time, PS3 owners need to buy a jb, we need to buy a wode.

It's a joke, I love GH/RB.

But yeah, I play Phase a LOT.

Yes, and Sony fixed it also. Nintendo havent!

its not only has a PS3 usb loader....its got PS2 as well...if you count OpenPS2Loader. i've never tried openps2loader, but hope too soon.

You can't run Open PS2 Loader via jailbreak yet. Also it would only play ps2 games on the backwards compatible ps3s. Oh and it can only use usb 1.1 and LAN loading on a ps3, while usb 1.1 is too slow to take it seriously. And it seems that the network is emulated seperately or whatever on a ps3, at least it's not as fast as running on a ps2.

I may sound like a noob in saying this, and perhaps I am, but if I am to understand correctly; one would insert a gamecube game into their Wii and then dump it to a storage device (be it SD or USB) from there then they can play this dump (back up) with this MIOS. I assume some form AP measure would include taking a key from your Wii and injecting it into the dump. If the key on your Wii doesn't match the one of the dump the game wouldn't play then? This might all be wrong My point is however the dumps are created so that it is known that they only came from legit discs then couldn't somebody create a PC app that would just fake all the dumps people may have pirated and fool this MIOS into think they are legit dumps.

I guess I just I don't understand how any MIOS or App could tell the difference between a dump rip from a legit disc versus a dump downloaded off the internet and further more how such a detection couldn't be faked and injected into dumps downloaded from the internet.

I applaud Crediar for his work on this MIOS and I can understand his anti-piracy beliefs, but I just don't fully understand how he could prevent full on piracy with his MIOS?

So I will not be able play my backups at my friends house?

Eh what's the purpose of this then? I'd better get my original discs then and take those....

FAIL

Did you not read the thread ? It's quite simple, it allows you to keep your treasured GC dvds safe and last longer by letting you run the games from a HDD

Yep you did

Thank you!

Have YOU read this topic? It states you can only use retail disc for backup, wich ( maybe means ) you can only use your own discs on the Wii you've ripped them with...
So you acctually have to own the discs + you cannot play them from HD on another Wii.
If that's the case, then your better off playing a backup disc. + you can play those on other Wii's too.( with a usable drive )

If DIOSMIOS will work that way, It's a FAIL.

I can only imagine this being helpful for people owning a newer Wii, wich can't read DVD-R's

That'because I was replying With a Quote before.....Hmm basicly we say the same.
If DIOSMIOS gonna be like this, it's only gonna be for people whom's drive is'nt broken ( yet ).With Retail games.
Wich is fine with me. But DIOSMIOS will also prevent playing your GC backups on any other wii from HD.
Wich I think will suck.
Then it would be logical to use Retail discs or ( if possible ) backups, wich can be played on all Wii's.

But still...It would be awesome to play my GC games from HD in a Fasion like today's backup loaders.

At least until someone grabs a copy of IDA Pro and a NAND dump from their Wii and writes an app to convert (encrypt/encode) a normal ISO for your Wii. Of course, that process will have to be repeated for each system you want to use it on so it will take up more space that way but disk space is cheap and Gamecube games are fairly small.
