Hacking Flatmii Announced

[coolbho3000]

I really dont see the point to this IF it were true, DVDs are cheap, they dont ocupy too much space and when you have gamma, there is really no need to open your Wii and risk damaging it. So thanks, but no thanks, Soft is the way to go

.

It makes all those Wiis with dead drives useful again. ...and the install looks as easy as a Wii-clip installation.

Not to mention softmods are often unstable at playing games, and with this you can use disc channel. And it can't be blocked by Nintendo ever.

I have like 15 games and I have not seen any unstability in any of them, sure some movies are a bit slow but gameplay is perfect. But yeah, the wiis with dvd drives dead will be good with this...

You plug it into a computer via USB, and then load ISOs off your computer using the Flatmii software.

Somebody in a german forum has posted that the price of flatmii will be 70-100 EURO. I don't rely on this source, but this would be much more than i expected. It's just a drive connector to usb2.0, all the processing needed is done by the pc, i expected max 30 EURO, maybe 50 EURO while it's brand new.

 

[goku1980]

so u connect your wii to your pc via usb? id rater use gamma and wait for a something that loads games stright from a external hdd ive got a 1tb set aside for that day but good looking on the link thought difuison

From there faq:
5. If I install FlatMii, can I also play copied games on disc?
> Unfortunately you cannot. However, it's fully compatible with all drivechips.
=BAD!

Errm.. what?
Its not claiming to be a modchip.
It runs ISOs from your PC... there should be no need for burnt DVDs... but, if it is compatible with modchips then its not stopping you using DVDs as well as ISOs.

not compatible with clips if installed like in the tut i know that if i tried mine would get crushed and having the flatmii stuck to the outside of the wii doesn't sound appealing.

exactly, re downloading is the best bet, rippping usually ends with a error unless your pretty looky

I dont understand why people dont just burn 2 copies of a game.

1 copy for the PC incase you need to reburn.

1 copy for the Wii.

This makes it so that you dont have to worry about scratching up your discs or whatnot. If you have a problem, just put the disc into the PC and click and drag the ISO onto the harddrive, then reburn it.

Why just not keep the .isos? No wait, that's too complicated and there are too many ifs.

My HD has 160 GB.
And they are expensive here.

Because i dont have the space to save them, normal people have other things on there hdd than just wiigames. I just saves my games until i have seeded them 1:1 and then delete them becuse of the storage problem..

Man, if there was only a wireless USB solution here. I have a 400GB hard drive, and it was 500, but 100 was saved for system files. Too bad, my laptop has only 40GB, but still, I can fit a few, now if it only stopped randomly turning off on me.

 

[Wiisel]

you all missed the point you should have the original games to dump from

 

[FAST6191]

I do not know about any of you but what I am interested in is a kind of "dynamic compression"* for scrubbed isos, I used such things all the time in the 486 era but they fell out of use.

*scrubbed isos for those just joining replace what is usually incompressible junk located between files with easily compressed sections of 00's. The isos turn out the same size but they can be compressed by normal methods (zip/rar/7zip) unlike 99% of standard isos. Dynamic compression would compress the 00 filled sections for storage on the drive but as far as the game is concerned it is an uncompressed iso.

Definitely NOT true. A friend of mine has just modded his Wii. I have ripped more than 30 games now and burned them on DVD...no error yet, MATE.... Please don't spread false information if you don't have the facts.

hmm, any of you try ripping a image wii game you have just burnt, see if you can re make the ISO from disc to file, see if it works at random, just any game....me and majority of others usually end with a error, iv'e had zelda TP and a few others successfully rip correctly using Imgburn, i have 2 Ram writers, a LG & Sony, and both are the basicly the same......but most of the time, nope doesn't work, end up with a error reading from disc.
