Hacking RestoreMii

[wiistarter]

Why is everyone against this... Has anybody actually tested this and if so from what firmware.???

 

[Screemer]

i am not against the idea but the file contains copyrighted material and is actually not allowed to be shared.

 

[wiistarter]

What copyright material???

 

[david432111]

This is just a system menu wad with a few starfall patches, nothing special. And in case you didn't understand it, linking to and repackaging the system menu files is against the law and not permitted here at gbatemp.

 

[WiiBlaster]

What copyright material???

Well its a system menu wad? 0000000100000002

which is copyrighted rather its patched or not.

Also i honestly dont see how it could benefit anyone, if they are Fully Bricked.


edit: And by the way your Video doesn't even show you being Fully Bricked or really Bricked for that matter, only that your IOS60 isn't patched which is easy fixed by re-installing Preloader, And quit lying to people this doesn't contain IOS60 Only retards would believe that, WTF is the point of this?


AND WHAT HAPPENS IF SOME Noob decides he doesn't like your RestoreMii or your Magical Special Wad and uninstalls it through Wad Manager Not so Magical Then is it.lol Let me guess your not responsible.

Alright, Alright, i think your right about the copyright stuff.
i putted the link on youtube so you can get them there.

 

[Deleted User]

Don't try to be smart. By putting that link into the vid description, and putting the link to the video here, you are still linking to a copyrighted material.

 

[vettacossx]

he didnt need the link here

so long as people read...he just went about it the right way LOL they can always go visit him on youtube....btw whats your youtube name i dont need the files but id like to subscribe to another person who isnt scared of there own shadow or the "killer moderators" LOL

where there is a will....there are a shit ton of hypocrites to try this...benifit from this....then run there mouths... and see what YOUR doing wrong....they never stop to think that maybe they could just shut the fuck up...appreciate people who contribute AT ALL.... and mind there own god damn bizz? (unless your a moderator you can shut the fuck up and let the mods make there own decisions they are quite capable of playing their roles without another tattling twit)

anyway sorry people are ass kissing little tattle tales round here...just try and better prepare your releases and use your obvious gift of social engineering

Alright, Alright, i think your right about the copyright stuff.
i putted the link on youtube so you can get them there.

to your advantage bro

the people who really will to locate a file set....simply WILL

Im not exsaculy not sure what your saying mate.
but anyways they get they get the file though.

Just a note on the whole copyright issue... Wouldnt the Wii covers that are linked on here for download or the sites be breaking copyright as I am sure the covers would also have a copyright/distribution issue as well..

 

[Vidboy10]

Nah, wii covers are okay.
Alot of sites host boxarts and its never an issue.

I think this is a good effort on the side of Vidboy to help out the community with something but i think in his excitement and youth he has failed to see the dangers of this.

I dont think he has any malice in his intentions and does genuinely want to release something that will help the community , but he has inadvertantly released something that is

1. Illegal to link to and wont be allowed on this site as it breaches copyrights.
2. Is not as stable as the name makes it sound
3. Could potentially brick a wii as opposed to fixing it if used incorrectly by noobs
4. This is available for quite a while in seperate packages just never bundled - but it hasnt been bundled previosuly because of the issues it can potentially cause.
5. Still requires pre-requisits for this to run so will not recover a full brick as stated just a partial brick

I can see he is still trying to help out with this and i think he should be given a little bit of slack and not as much abuse. People should try to guide him in the right direction for the future and not completely bash his efforts as he is trying to help but his direction on this project was just a little off.

Well done on the effort vidboy , but for your own sake and the sake of others i think you should keep this more of a low profile project and maybe keep an eye out for another niche in the homebrew market where you can make a more appreciated input in the future.

@all the whiners
I second DJTaz and Vetta.

give the kid a break.
he is trying.. which is way more than most of the whiners I have seen on this thread.

I am sure next time he will take djtaz and vetta's advice into consideration, but I hope you didn't simply kill his will to learn and create something.

@Vidboy10
keep up.. doing that at 12 is the way to start.
I hope I will see your name in future projects.

Cheers,
R

Thanks redia.
If anybody whines in there post's they will be ignored.

Im sorry, but thats just not good enough of an excuse.

Its not whining vidboy, it making sure you aren't releasing a bricking tool.

Without proper documentation, proper proof, proper tutorials, and CLEARLY highlighted risks and requirements, tools like this shouldn't be released, until proven working and safe.

It might be your hard work, but it just as well may turn out to be anothers new $250 paper weight wii, if people don't "whine" and question your unproven release.

 

[Vidboy10]

Look, i would NEVER release a bricking tool.
if it ever was one i would have not posted this topic.
everything done on my wii is tested before being posted.

 

[wiiman123]

Ok... well just saying it has been tested is nice. BUT not good enough for some. Being vague about the contents, the process, and the risks & requirements only raises more questions then it answers.

Be technically specific.

Its like when a internet company says, get super duper fast internet. That doesn't mean shit to me. I want to hear get 10Mbit internet.

I see what your saying there. so your saying that people think that the wad may not work on some wii's and don't want to brick there wii's even more?

 

[wiiman123]

Im saying that if it works, VERY GOOD. But tell us what you did to make it work, the contents, requirements, which platforms its designed to work on. Mention any risks to the system and any risks to system menus that this files is not designed for.

You are a new developer, you haven't build up a reputation that your releases can be trusted. Its your burden of proof to stand behind your work. Especially when you are introducing something unexpected like WAD files which contain multiple title ids in one package.

@wiiman123
good lord, give him a break. he got everyone's point.. and I am pretty sure he won't do it again.
he made what is called an honest mistake.
I understand your point and I tend to agree with you.. but he did not mean no harm so no need to shoot him
1 page of blaming is good enough.. I am sure he got it right. give it up.
now he clarified what his wad is for.
he also clarified what is in his wad.
party is over.. leave him alone, he's 12 for god's sake... how do you expect him to understand the depth of all that.
instead of blaming him, you should consider mentoring him.

I know his wad is far from perfect.
but he has understood the principle of the system
now he needs to learn on the impact... what works for a specific wii, with specific problem or requirement, may not be the solution for everyone.

now, please.. I beg you.. give him some room to breath.
if you want to keep on hitting on someone take me as a target.. my contribution to the scene is so insignificant that I deserve it.
