Hacking HTTP ISO Loader?

[NikoK]

I was wondering if there was a method that is available that I could use to load an ISO via HTTP to play on my Wii. I have a mod chip and CiOS.

yes it is but you need an XBOX360 and a Silicon Graphics PC to make it work...!!!

There is currently no way to that and there will not be a way to do that ever sorry.

There is a modchip coming out called Flatmii that does this, and only this iirc....google it

I found that flatmii here

How does this chip enable ISO Emulation via USB, and will there be a way to incorperate this kind of feature with a cyclowiz or wiikey?

Yes, there was... A Flatmii that does this if you didn't know about that.

That is loading games off an HDD not Http it's different I think if someone really wanted to he/she could find a way to load games off an HDD without a modchip.HTTP loading isn't possible.

You have to install it between the data output cable and the disc drive, and the chip has his own USB conector, it is not like you can use the Wii's USB, and it has nothing to do with your ciclowiz or WiiKey so they can both co-exist..!!

just out of curiosity, why will it never be possible ever, never?

because the aplication able to do this will need alot of resources and I really don't think the Wii can handle it...!!

i dont think so, it may not be practical or useful due to resource usage, but i believe it would be at least possible. of course, i dont expect one to be made quickly or even recently. even if it was a hardware based solution it is still 'possible'.

Well you can stream video from PC to Wii, but data placed specifically in some order it is a lot of work, it is not like a disc loaders, if you know what I mean...!!!

i know what you mean, and with flatmii you can actually probably stream ISO's too (not from HTTP though, just using a direct file system over a wireless network)
example: connect laptop to flatmii, your laptop is connected over a wireless network. use the flatmii software to load an iso over a network drive.


although it is a bit of a lame way to do it, it still IS possible

im still waiting for a USB hardrive backup launcher solution however..
