New App From Waninkoko

[djdynamite123]

really nice

modchips only for the time being....

unless you can 'compress' a Wii disc image somehow (like WiiScrubber, but actually REMOVE the blank data), only 1 Wii game will fit on a single layer disc...

Have a look at what version 1.30 and 1.31 can do

i.e. Extract a partition and also build one.

Just think if this had usb support no need for dvd's.

xbox.

wut?

This pretty much proves that you can burn and play Wii games WITHOUT the garbage data. Otherwise Luigi's Mansion wouldn't have fit on the same DVD. This is an epic win.

P.S. I don't care that it requires a modchip. Real men use modchips.

Ugh, just after I bought my SD Gecko too

. I'm proud that we will be able to play backup GC games soon but it's the fact that my bro just spent $6 for nothing.

So I'm taking this in short, the app allows us to make multi Wii/GC disks. As it obviously removes the blank/garbage data from games while still being able to read played by the Wii. So if the true ISO of a said game was 1.8GB and you have lets say a Gamecube game which 500 MB and another which 700 MB you can use this app and slap it on a DVD and play it on your Wii providing you have a modchip?

Just trying to clarify this the posts aren't exactly that decisive as to what this app is able to do.

Hmm maybe then ill bother playing Tales of Symphonia.

Hi Dack

Nice to see you still use your idea to do multi-boot wii games.
I thought you abandoned it while the backup loader leaked.


If the partition is rewritten, it means we will not have to instal DVDx at all, right ?
it will create Wii iso format without space in it ?

Nice to hear that.
Thank you for your work

be happy u only spent 6 bucks... thats nothing

 

[zidane_genome]

can one of the beta testers PLEASE confirm how a Wii ISO is 'shrunk'??

linkinworm!! you are so the man right now!! you always come through on this stuff...

Is the garbage data stripped away, or is the main game partition just ripped out, or is the entire ISO rebuilt to ignore the garbage data?

Am I completely wrong on that?

I am dying to know!!! PLEASE!!

@Zidane :
If it can create partition, it can do it without the need to create unneeded space in the iso.
So I think it is/will rewrite a partition completely so the iso is shorten physically (not only when compressing in rar).

 

[Blue-K]

Mhm..interessting...but I don't think I need this...kinda useless in my opinion...Always start an App, search for the game and launch..I don't need this...I'm happy with the Disc-Channel, and DVDs aren't that expensive...

BTW: Oh, and as a little Info: Hamster Heroes Size is Scrubbed 192 MB...maybe a Vid of a Game with 4 GB or more

?

Not sure exactly what Waninkoko has decided to do at the moment.

The trimming app I've written (that needs some work before release) does the equivalent of shrinking the game partition down to the required size after moving all the data up. The partition is still a wii format partition - just that all the data is now at the start of the partition instead of having a great big chuck of nothing in the middle. In the case of Heinz Wolffs gravity this would then create a 97Meg partition, or in the case of Wii Chess a 26 Meg one. The ISO is then saved out as such - at the smaller size.

These trimmed ISOs can be then used in different ways.

One way is to have a standard ISO9660 format disc with several of these trimmed ISOs on them and a loader app that allows you to choose. This requires the DVD access mode and could be done via a softmod.

Another way is to have a loader app in the first partition that then selects which partition/game to run from the subsequent partitions. This would work on Modchip and possibly softmod.

I'm sure he'll explain all when it's ready.

 

[loopguy]

so if someone would implement a fatlib, you could have a hdd loader?
can't wait...

Yes but GCOS doesn't work on Wii (without a modchip) AFAIK.

 

[aaron_McNiven]

this looks great! i hope soon in the future we can boot game ISO's off a little external hard drive! then i'd just...just... ...

/me WANTS TO HELP WITH THIS!!!!!

But i know nothing about this
