i think you are the only one in the world who wants to play it

i think the update has added a new api call which checks the drive to see if something is writing code to it

so, all we need to do is decrypt the firmware update, read the code, and modify the call to report that everything is peachy!

Lol, if we could do that, we would have homebrew on the Wii right now, and probibly wouldn't need modchips

i doubt that. we would first need an understanding of the wii's environment. i don't think there's been an ide leaked like there was on the psp, to my knowledge at least.


could possibly edit the operator used in the call to read !=, or throw back false instead of true in the unlikely case of a boolean call.

just one question....if i buy the orginal game does it works on my modded wii?

Syndicate released the Revolution/WII SDK back in February.

All current modchips, with the exception of D2Ckey, write directly to the drive RAM. That is most likely the problem with this game. If that is the case, there will NOT be a patch that will fix it. It will require completely new chips and probably more wires.Â

I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge towards how modchips are designed and such, but wouldn't it be possible for those modchips to send false data back to whatever is triggering the ram check? If the modchip makes it seem like it is at the right ram level i think future games will work fine. The problem is, what is the right ram level and how would you be able to find it?

Yet again another "patch" has emerged on usenet. This one is called "Super_Mario_Galaxy_USA_FiX_Wii-LEiPESHiT.exe" I looked at it in a hex editor and it isn't all 0's but i don't know much about that kinda stuff so can some look into this? When i tried opening it not much happened so don't get your hopes up. I don't have smg myself so i can't check it. Again if you need help locating it my email is [email protected]

It's a renamed MP3. Another fake I'm afraid.

Proper fix for SMG will be new firmware updates that implement the missing ReportDiscKey DI command, not an ISO patch. Give it a day or 2 and they should start appearing.

KSB, so did you get this info in IRC or what? Also what channel?

 

[KSB2003]

#wiihack @ efnet seems to be a good source for the latest happenings. A couple of different "experts" have come to this conclusion now and on paper it appears to add up. emu_kid on IRC is the latest guy to come up with this. Earlier it was someone on maxconsole I believe. The wii itself cannot check the ram on the drive, so all the theories down that line of thinking are 99.9% likely to be wrong.

Hope that helps. Off to get some sleep now. It's been a long day.

To all you lucky cyclowizers out there
"Coming soon in this thread: Firmware 3.6 BETA featuring an improved stealth mecanism to run "protected" games. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: Alpha testers confirm that SMG US works with 3.6 BETA on US and even PAL consoles, thanks for testing guys!"

Now if cyclowiz has a fix expect wiikey to have one in about 8 months

Source?

yep I saw that too, it would seem it is only a matter of time now before the other free chips and all the other groups update as well.
