Hacking Possible to make a savemii dongle?

[sylux92]

Would it be possible to make a savemii dongle with your own gamecube memory chip? Could the software from the dongle be dumped and written to a memory card?

I think there is a little bit more than that. It's hardware based.

You could make a dongle that sends the same single as all four gc buttons pressed at once.
Don't know how but it should be cheaper than building a savemii afaik.

How much memory would that take? Would the gamecube memory chips hold that much data?

Take the gc controller apart and right beside the 4 directional pad you will see the connector for it, its black and has legs that can be soldered i can't really explain what it looks like, But i just covered it in solder than put the controller back together, It was a crapy controller by the way, now when i stick it in, It automatically boots to recovery without hitting any keys, I guess thats what your asking for?

This craps out your Controller by the way.lol

now that we can hold reset on the wii to get into a recovery mode. there is no need for this. SALES ARE DOWN!!!

i dont even have to hold reset, i just stick in a Autoboot Disc for recovery,
I guess you preloader installed

 

[slaphappygamer]

well, i guess it depends if you have a chip or not. either i think that savemii/savemiifrii is ousted now.

yes, i do have preloader installed.

I believe holding reset is a feature of preloader. It automatically loads the HBC on boot. Holding reset will go to the config screen and allow you to choose something else to boot (someone correct me if I'm wrong). So if a bad wad causes a banner brick, you can boot the HBC and wad manager and remove the bad wad.

install preloader 0.25. check the thread.

Funny you say that SaveMii and the SaveMii method is now useless, as that's what we're currently looking into to try breach the impenetrable Wii Mini.
