Hacking new cIOS released R5

oh dear, its turning into one of the argument threads again. have fun everyone

i dont know about your world, but in my world the dozens of emulators for the hbc equals piracy aswell
I don't know about your world, but in my world Wii homebrew extends beyond piracy and emulators.

how can you say his code is shitty, when he got most of his stuff in the 1st place from you guys?
The stuff that he didn't get (his glue code) is shitty.

oh dear, its turning into one of the argument threads again. have fun everyone

Are you honestly surprised?

Actions speak louder than words, put your talents and skills to work, like you run your mouth, the community will be better for it.

Is it okay if I make it some day when I'm bored, release a YouTube video, and then release it encrypted with 256-bit AES (and no, I wouldn't give you the key)? I mean, that's proof enough, right?

 

[djdynamite123]

Im not surprised lol, just like to read what rubbish people have to say...
I mean if your not happy with how it is, try altering it yourself, if you have the skills.

yea release it lol, piss of the nerds that dont pay for games and complain about stuff not already working

yeah that would be cool

 

[rasputin]

Show us how Wanin's code is shitty then marcan ? oh i mean narc-on

 

[shamone69]

IOS36-64-v1042.wad can you extract this from any game or only some

 

[Saladman]

Marcan and his chums come along to spoil another thread on a Waninkoko release. I'm Really shocked!!!! honest

seriously, why this clown isn't banned is beyond me.

And if Marcan released an app to load pirated games running at full speed nobody would be shitting on him no matter what he has to say about Waninkoko. I'm not kissing his ass, everyone has done a lot of good with their respective releases. You kids are just ungrateful. And I don't see any of you trying to put any homebrew together. You just want your pirated games.

 

[marcan]

Show us how Wanin's code is shitty then marcan ? oh i mean narc-onIt is not my job to teach him how to improve his code for faster loading speeds.

But here's an example that's just pointless:

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ/* Create DIP struct */
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂdip = (dipstruct *)os_heap_alloc(0, sizeof(dipstruct));
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂif (!dip)
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂreturn -1;

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ/* Clean DIP struct */
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂmemset(dip, 0, sizeof(dipstruct));

where:

typedef struct {
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ/* DIP config */
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂunsigned long offset_base;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂunsigned char dvdrom_mode;
} __attribute__((packed)) dipstruct;

He uses those two members in the code as dip->offset_base and dip->dvdrom_mode, and keeps dip as a global variable.

That, my friends, either is a new programming paradigm that I haven't heard about (Global Variable Abstraction Via A Structure Allocated On The Heap Whose Pointer Is Held In A Global Variable), or it's just retarded and a waste of CPU cycles (and code lines, for that matter).

Another fun one
CODEunsigned char *dipbuffer = (unsigned char *)0x00001800;

He still hasn't figured out how to properly allocate a sector buffer, so instead he's using the space normally reserved for homebrew reloaders. Let's hope that Gecko and other tools also don't make use of it. Oh, and forget about using cIOS and his DVD stuff with homebrew if you want reloading to HBC to work. Oh, and he also has no clue about the "special" properties of MEM1 when used from IOS, and why it's a bad idea.

He also added support for normal DVD reads straight from the disc, which only work on originals or if you have a modchip. Which the standard IOS module already does, and more efficiently at that. Can you say "pointless"?

 

[Arm the Homeless]

I'm not trying to suck up or anything, but marcan is still a much better coder than Waninkoko. I think he knows what he is talking about. The only reason people are protecting Waninkoko is because he led them to piracy.

Or GVAVASAOTHWPISHIAG for short.

 

[djdynamite123]

So is this IOS pointless when you already have a modchip?
And mcj is deffinately right about what he said n above post.
People are tight and wont pay for something.

 

[that1dude]

Marcan, did waninkoko sleep with your girlfriend?

You seem to be getting way too worked up about this. You may be a better coder, and I appreciate what you've done, but that doesn't mean you have to go around insulting coders that aren't as good as you.

Please do! Seeing how a Backup Loader works is part of the fun! Please make a public YouTube video, I'd love it, and I'd love the comments even more

Btw, cIOS is actually useful. Well, maybe it is not useful anymore, but it has been useful to me. I wanted to create a backup of my Super Mario Galaxy DVD so I could extract its contents and find a WAD-file I needed to install the GameCube Homebrew Launcher. I know it's also possible to do that with Nuke's tool, but I didn't know at the time

But please stop bashing Waninkoko. You're right, his code may not be as good as yours, but that's to be expected. Fact is, he creates tools that you don't create, and others want to use it. So why not just let him do what he wants to do?

 

[Cooler89]

marcan you need to understand something even if the code is shitty he still released and everyone is using it without any problems. Wiigator released his source to the public and there hasnt been any problem. My point is waninkoko has made alot of tools for the public to use and you havent made any, i understand your against piracy but dont talk shit to waninkoko about his work.

And if you want to show us then why not make your backup loader and then release it to the public rather then talking shit about waninkoko or anyone else

 

[djdynamite123]

marcan has made a few apps along with his fellow hackers, hes a serious coder, i personally hope he doesn't create a better backup loader, i hate hearing about it all the time, and if he's against it, i guess he/they diffinately wont.

And for his, their issues with waninkoko, its pretty stupid, basicly 3 or so apps they arnt happy with waninkoko, and you know what they are.

But either way waninkoko is still a brilliant coder, and he releases applications and updates of them many times
All the homebrew applications programs etc. which are released are all good, apart from daft ones, I'm sure you know which ones these are, so you should be happy with what you've got released from these developer programmers.

 

[marcan]

So is this IOS pointless when you already have a modchip?

No, because it unlocks unencrypted reads in the normal DI module, among other things. Kinda like PatchMii, you know.
What's pointless is adding that already existing capability to the /dev/do replacement module.

I never said cIOS as a whole is pointless. The IOS patches are useful, although PatchMii already has those and it's a more flexible alternative. I'm saying the custom module (/dev/do) and its updates are pointless except for piracy.

So they're not pointless at all. Serving a purpose != Useless.
