Hacking ISO Loader for Wii coming?!?

[Screemer]

Why are we on to the flatmii now?

Isnt this thread regarding the Wiizii?

This thread is about an ISO Loader for the Wii..the FlatMii does that. This WiiZii chip may in fact, be fake: http://wiinewz.com/forums/nintendo-news/93670-wiizii.html

actually the thread was started with a question about wiizii. therefore this thread should be about it.

In the pic is a usb dongle deal... so how does the wii pull from SATA? and will it get 3Gps sata speesd or usb2.0 speed?

 

[CheatingSoi]

Should I get FlatMii or WiiZii? I doubt Im gunna get one at all, but if I were to, What would you think would be the best option?

Beats me why anyone would want this when :

1. Drivechips are cheap, readily available and oh so easy to fit

and

2. The Twilight Hack & Wiigator combo is such a piece of piss to successfully pull off.

So very true....Why Dimmy?

Finally, a product that makes it worth to void warranty and open wii

how do you void a warranty? It's not like the wii has a sticker that says not to open....it doesn't have a seal to break. I've opened mine and sent it back to Nintendo and they fixed it with no questions asked. (bought one of the first ones that couldn't read DL discs)

This isn't Micro$oft with the warranty sticker that you will void.

Exact same thing I was thinking

Well, that is mostly true, but for some people drive chips are a major hassle. For D2-E Epoxy (Me

), you need to use a heatgun on the epoxy before you can use a clip, or solder. Also, D2-Nothing requires soldering. Whether or not you find soldering easy or hard, you have to admit it isn't worth getting a modchip that you have to semi-permanently attach to your console, whereas if you have a drive that can be WiiClipped the chip is easily removed. Backup Loader is great, but it is far from perfect, and I think it is very important for new solutions to be made that can be used by any system.

QUOTE8. Are GameCube games supported?
> Yes they are. In fact you can create a huge multi-iso GC disc with all your games, since there is no file size limit

Wow, I hadn't thought of doing this. That makes flatmii completely justified to me as well lol. I wonder if the same will work with waninkoko's now Wii Multi-Game ISO thing?

Don't know if anyone posted this, but I don't saw something...
Quote from tehskeen:

The Matrix Team have announced a new Nintendo Wii modification chip that has an on-board SATA adapter that can connect to a stand alone hard drive for quick loading of your legal backup collection. It comes with 2Mbit of flash, requires no soldering and lets you retain the original functionality of your drive.

Note that the chip pictured is a prototype and will be much smaller when produced. The chip will be able to boot images via a menu or burnt backup discs. We should have more details including all of the technical specifications in a couple of days.

So also DVD-Support...looks like I will say goodbye to my WiiKey..

But whats for me a impostant question: Are solderless Chips "safer" than soldered Chips? Which could Nintendo easier "remove" (if possible)....?

 

[fiveighteen]

I posted about that a couple pages ago.

I would think chips with the Wii-Clip are safer, because if Nintendo did do something about it you can just unclip it and you're back to your normal Wii.

Does waninkoko's now Wii Multi-Game ISO require your Wii to have modded first or you can use it on your non modded Wii with some program just like Wiigator ? Thanks in advance.

Excuse me, but doesn't it look like an IDE2SATA Adapter?

Can the Wii handle the extra 12Volt for it (if its real what I'm thinking)?

Sorry when I'm wrong.

multigame isos are only working for gc-games. there is no easy way to load gc-backups via software right now. only a very ugly and not very compatible loader, which loads isos from a sd-gecko.

btw. what da hack are you asking about waninkoko?

you are exactly right. it seems to be this ide2sata converter:

but keep in mind that this is a prototype-board. i'm pretty sure they will use a 'onboard' sata chip in the final version.
