Hacking MarioKart Pwns

[youngrex]

nice work always something new with the wii

 

[WiiCrazy]

@airline38 : giantpune is right target game's ios's existence in the korean wii is sufficient for this to work..
each time a new partition is booted the ios used by that partition is loaded into arm... Remember it from the problem for games like Metroid Prime Trilogy which have different partitions for each game...

 

[Wiimm]

Remember it from the problem for games like Metroid Prime Trilogy which have different partitions for each game...MPT comes with only 2 partitions: UPDATE and DATA. And the data partition contains all three games:

CODE# wit files mpt.wdfÂÂ--files '+.dol;+/files/*/$' --pmode=name --psel=data

path + file
-----------------------
DATA/files/MP1/
DATA/files/MP2/
DATA/files/MP3/
DATA/files/fe/
DATA/files/rs5fe_p.dol
DATA/files/rs5mp1_p.dol
DATA/files/rs5mp2_p.dol
DATA/files/rs5mp3_p.dol
DATA/sys/main.dol

Well then it's my assumption, anyway a proper example would be VC games in SSBB or the bonus game in Indiana Jones game...

Anyway after all these debates can someone post the commandline for wit and the ruleset for mkwii to merge lego indiana jones in it?

 

[lee21231]

mkwii(ver.kor) + SSBB
"Please insert the Super Smash ...." Is a message saying what?

 

[khalkedon]

How do I do it?
Dump the 2 games you want to use, grab the DATA partition from the game that has the exploit. Put it in place of the non-game partition in the other game. Load the thing and trigger the partition change. It will start the second game and you can go on to run the exploit and do whatever you want with it.

How could grab the DATA partition from the with exploid game and how to add to Mario Kart game?

I tried the WIT tool. But I couldn't find clear guide.

Please make more clear explanation. Please explain to like a 6 year old boy. My Enlish is not good and I don't know the lots of terms ...

Thanks a lot.

Edit:

By the way I will use for 4.2 and 4.3 with korean error 003.

 

[giantpune]

the way i did it is to create a simple program that reads the partition table and then you know the start of the data partition. http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Disc The easiest way to get the size of the data partition is to just use "wit dump" and look for the size. you do this on both games and then you know both data partitions.

then if you have an issue with the space ( you are using larger games ), then you can create your new iso and shift the partitions forward. so, just copy all the header and whatnot from mariokart, then write your new partitions table and write whatever offsets you want. then add your actual partitions and whatever padding you need to make them fall on the offsets you used.

 

[WiiCrazy]

I guess khalkedon didn't ask for developer's advice

Anyway, why would size matter if we are just merging two single layer games under one dual layer disc?
Even overlay support of WIT is not necessary in that regard.

ps: oops sorry this was for fixing 003 error I guess...

 

[DJ_Eric]

Has there been any successful way to combine mario kart or raving rabbids with SSBB and able to burn it with a single or dual layer disc?

 

[giantpune]

i never got SSBB to boot this way. the 2 version of the game that have working exploits check the ID in memory when they start. i spend a couple days at it and tested probably 50 different methods. when you do get it to boot, it will see the ID of mariokart or whatever in memory and will give you the green "please insert the disc" screen.

I'm not sure about if Waninkoko did something like that one time, but you can just use USB Loader.

Yeah, what if you can't launch a usb loader. What about if you can only get the recovery mode to come up? Thats what I'm stuck with, with a 003 wii that someone asked me to try and fix.

@giantpune. I've read that you were going to try using a wode to fix a 003 wii. Did that end up working at all?

Yes, it worked.

No, I'm not Pune.

can mkwii + loadmii disc work??

 

[person66]

can mkwii + loadmii disc work??

what loadmii disc? And why not just use Indiana Pwns to start loadmii?

 

[giantpune]

mkwii + loadmii disc will work if IOS36 and whatever IOS is in the TMD for the loadmii partition both allow fakesigned discs. and if you already have that, then theres no point really in doing it.

I have played with this a little bit. It may not have much use once smash stack is released for pal/kor, but I will tell you what has worked for me.

Method #1 Boot ssbb vc starfox, disc swap to out of region game.
Requires SSBB iso for your wiis region
Requires Games exploit iso
Requires classic controler
Requires Modchip
You need WIT- I used WIT v1.25b, 2011-01-10
You need Wii ISO title renamer

Extract the wit bin files to a dir, say c:\wit
Extract wii ios renamer to c:\wit
Copy ssbb.iso to c:\wit
Copy exploit.iso to c:\wit
I am using Windblows, so
Click start, run- type cmd and hit enter
The command shell will open

Type cd \
cd \wit
wit mix ssbb.iso select HBLP as 0.data header region --id=0 --dest starfox.iso
Let it do its thing
wit mix exploit.iso --dest exploit-2.iso (this just stips out the update partition, which may or may not mater)
Let it do its thing

open up WIIISORenamerv3.exe
Open starfox.iso
Write down game name and game ID
Open exploit-2.iso with WIIISORnamer
Change the game name and game id to match starfox.iso
Game name = Super Smash Bros. Brawl
GameID = 0SBE01 -FOR 4.3u, 0SBP01 -FOR 4.3e, 0SBJ01 -FOR 4.3j, 0SBK01 -for 4.3k
The game ID and game name must match for starfox.iso and exploit-2.iso
Burn both disc good and proper

Load the starfox disc from the disc channel or RM, you'll need your classic controller plugged in
Let the game load the the title screen where it says "press start"
Press home and the wiimote
Press eject on the wii, remove starfox disc and replace with exploit disc
With the wiimote, press restart. The game should restart into your exploit disc

Exploit disc could be any game exploit, Lego indian jones, star wars, batman, Yu-Gi-OH
No luck with SSBB-u, just give the error insert disc. Giantpune may have a method to fix that.
SSBB-pal should boot this way. Also, you can use many other games other than starfox to do this. The game must be in the region of the wii, the game must reset to the health screen when restarted. I also did this with Castlevania, with this game I had to load to the main screen, press home, swap disc, press home again and go back to the game, very quickly as soon as the disc spins up, press home and reset.

Method 2 disc channel install
Could be done with Mario Kart, probably wiifit or rabbids go home
You need a game iso for your region, that installs channels, and you must not have the channel installed on your wii
You need a game iso that has an exploit you wish to run, like Lego indian jones, star wars, batman, Yu-Gi-OH
You need WIT- I used WIT v1.25b, 2011-01-10


Extract the wit bin files to a dir, say c:\wit
Copy game.iso to c:\wit
Copy exploit.iso to c:\wit

Make a txt doc, named game.txt
game.txt should have 1 line only-
+/files
Make a txt doc, named exploit.txt
exploit.txt should have 1 line only-
+/files

I am using Windblows, so
Click start, run- type cmd and hit enter
The command shell will open

Type cd \
cd \wit
wit mix game.iso header region exploit.iso ignore "@exploit.txt" select DATA as chan --id=0 --dest game1.iso --overlay
Let it do its thing
wit mix game.iso header region ignore "@game.txt" exploit.iso select DATA as chan --id=0 --dest game-exploit.iso --overlay
Let it do its thing

Burn game1.iso and game-exploit.iso good and proper
Load game1 disc from the disc channel or RM

Navigate to the channel installer, select to install the channel. It will say channel requires so much blocks, install yes/no
When you get to that prompt, press home on the wiimote eject the game disc and insert the game-exploit disc
Press Home again and press the install prompt, Your game exploit disc should load
I only tested on MK, if you have the channel installed it won't work.
This can be done with 1 disc, but the overlay is more complicated. The disc swap seems to be the simplest solution.

@mauifrog, I assume you still have to copy one of those exploits (EX:LEGO Indy ,Batman,Star Wars ,Yu-gi-ho 5Ds...) to Wii console in advance. Is it correct ?

So......... what's the benefit of your "new methods" ? Why not using those "exploit game disc"
directly ? (except for KOR Wii)

No benefit to me. Perhaps to someone with a Korean wii. The exploits work the same as always, you need to copy it to the wii.

What does WIIISORenamerv3 do?
wit can modify id and title on the fly: http://wit.wiimm.de/opt/id
