Hacking How does the Wii start a game?

[Majroa]

Yesterday I was thinking. I made a sorta flowchart for disc reading for the Wii. Could someone correct me if I'm wrong?

 

[snikerz]

No, all wrong.
Especially the part about "GCmode".

 

[Majroa]

Srsly?

 

[snikerz]

Yeah.

 

[Majroa]

How does it work then?

nobody is going to be able to explain it all to you in a way that you can understand. and youre definitely not gonna fit it on a flowchart that small. this is just the dvd init and the open partition functions. theres lots more than just those.

K, thought this was the simple version of the processes...

The least you have to do is to seperate everything by the device it's running on, ppc, arm or dvd-drive. And i don't think that inserting the disc does something, the system menu sees that a disc was inserted and then reacts.
