Hacking Region Changer 4.1 beta test

[damysteryman]

Hi everyone,

Who wants to test this?:
Region Changer 4.1
I was bored one day, so I made this.

As it's name suggests, it will completely region-change and install System Menu 4.1 of the region of your choice.

It's based on WiiSCU, and uses bushing's patchmii_core.c and tona's sysconf.c.

I've tested all the sysconf stuff, and it works, but my wii has no internet cnnection, so I haven't tested any of the patchmii doenload stuff.

If you want to test it, here you go:
http://www.mediafire.com/?uznlmz2gnjw

In order to run it, you need your wii conected to the internet, and cIOS249 installed,as that's the IOS it runs under.

Please tell me what you think of it, and whether or not the patchmii download stuff (especially the "patched IOS60" feature, I'm not sure if this works) works.

Thanks in advance,
da_letter_a

Do you add function that can load *.* from SD card?


patchmii_core.c

CODEint get_nus_object(u32 titleid1, u32 titleid2, char *content, u8 **outbuf, u32 *outlen) {
ÂÂstatic char buf[128];
ÂÂint retval;
ÂÂu32 http_status;
ÂÂstatic int netInit = 0;

ÂÂ
ÂÂif (useSd) {
ÂÂÂÂFILE *fd;

ÂÂÂÂsnprintf(buf, 128, "fat:/IOS/%08x/%08x/%s", titleid1, titleid2, content);
ÂÂÂÂ//printf("buf:%s\n",buf);

ÂÂÂÂfd = fopen(buf, "rb");
ÂÂÂÂif (!fd) {
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂdebug_printf("from Internet: ");
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ//return -1;
ÂÂÂÂ} else {
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂdebug_printf("from SD: ");
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂfseek(fd, 0, SEEK_END);
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ*outlen = ftell(fd);
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂfseek(fd, 0, SEEK_SET);

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ*outbuf = malloc(*outlen);
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂif (*outbuf == NULL) {
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂdebug_printf("Out of memory size %d\n", *outlen);
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂreturn 2;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ}

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂif (fread(*outbuf, *outlen, 1, fd) != 1) {
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂfclose(fd);
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂreturn 3;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ} else {
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂfclose(fd);
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂreturn 0;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ}
ÂÂÂÂ}
ÂÂ}
ÂÂif (!netInit)
ÂÂ{
ÂÂÂÂÂÂprintf("Initializing network."); fflush(stdout);
ÂÂÂÂÂÂwhile (1) {
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂretval = net_init ();
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂif (retval < 0) {
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂif (retval != -EAGAIN) {
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂdebug_printf ("net_init failed: %d\n", retval);
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂreturn 4;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ}
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ}
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂif (!retval) break;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂusleep(100000);
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂprintf("."); fflush(stdout);
ÂÂÂÂÂÂ}

ÂÂÂÂÂÂprintf("Done!\n");
ÂÂÂÂnetInit = 1;
ÂÂ}
ÂÂspinner();
ÂÂsnprintf(buf, 128, "http://nus.cdn.shop.wii.com/ccs/download/%08x%08x/%s",
ÂÂÂÂÂÂ titleid1, titleid2, content);
ÂÂ
ÂÂretval = http_request(buf, 1

im getting code dumps patching ios 60
works if you dont patch ios 60
used to go from 4.2u to 4.1u

 

[kavid]

ios60 patch don't work

 

[silverdtvw]

Will this impact already installed homebrew/priiloader/IOS' etc?

I'd like to go from 4.1U to 4.1E to install BBC iPlayer.....

 

[mattjd]

I believe this would effect priiloader and IOS because it replaces the IOS and system menu but the HB C will still be there.

Dont patch IOS60 through this programme but do everything else and install a patched IOS60 yourself.

Good work A

I don't know if I can test it though

i have a virgin 4.1E and would like to test this. The mediafire link is dead, tho. looks like mediafire is down?

 

[tj_cool]

It works here (I mean the link

)

 

[happydance]

thanks, will try this. hope there will be a sd card support for offline users

 

[vegemikee]

can this change wii shop region?
anyregion changers wii shop feature is broken thanks to v18 of the shop channel

 

[noobwarrior7]

vege,
shop channel changing has been broke for a lot longer.

its broke cuz, after ARC first came out, they updated their systems so they could make a record server-side,
so whatever shop your system first connects to, it would be locked to that country code. end of story.

i dont know what they tie your shop country to, though, wii number, mac address? no clue.

if it was mac address perhaps you could use the ocarina code for faking it in some way that it allowed you to bypass that.
