Hacking Some scene news...CSSM

[Forsaekn]

All of my patches and changes are portable, so once a new firmware rolls out I will have little trouble updating cSSM to take advantage of the new menu from nintendo. As it seems, Im sure nintendo will throw a few curveballs to the homebrew scene so it may be a week or more for a homebrew killing update...

well, here i'll put it in perspective.

When 3.4 came out it took me about an hour of perusing some dissassembly to make sure there is no auto-update code people were freaking out over, and about...15 minutes to reverse the Twilight Hack killing mechanics they put in and check my work after.

Also for those of you who havent grasped the concept of Dashboard and cSSM, once you have a working installation, you never have to worry about updates from nintendo, you can set your wii to wiiconnect24 and automatically get updates from me regarding cSSM. (think DAX and PSP cfw)

The installation routine is as follows:

First, Dashboard must be installed. You can do this from the installer I wrote, which has a built in downgrading option, so if you're on 3.4 and have tphack, you can just go directly to cSMM.

Once Dashboard completes and possibly updates itself if there is an update from me, you are ready.

At this point, when your wii turns on you just have Dashboard. Sure, you can boot a dol/elf from front sd, through your network via tcp, or boot into a title directly (such as Homebrew channel, maybe an emulator channel you have installed, whatever)..but upon entering the System Menu manager you will find the ability to download and install any system menu you want, into a maximum of 4 slots (system menus are pretty large, and even 4 would take up a hefty chunk of the 512mb NAND).

From here you would select a system menu to install, say sym 3.4 cSSM. let it download from the web (or install manually from sd card if you dont have an internet connection) and tada, now you have a system menu, whether its a retail ninty one or a fresh shiny new cSSM.

The System Manager also allows you to install hacks from an ini directly into nand, or just test them for that boot (but to be honest, cSSM will have all these hacks and more, so theres really no need for this feature, unless you like the original nintendo official menu and only want a hack or two)

These are only a few of many features Dashboard sports, and there's still the potential for theme support coming later.

Do ou want to kill me by telling me all this, then telling me to wait?

 

[teusjuh]

i can't wait i can't wait its sounds perfect

 

[MikeyTaylorGaming]

so you get to choose which menu you wanna use out of a max of 4?

i think it''ll be much easier to do when applying it yourself, i'm more of a learn by doing person clearly lol thats very risky in this business though eh? teaser videos for everyone would help me understand too

(thats not a rush, i actually have a hard time understanding this concept as my brain is small)

and dont let the name fool you, i may ask alot of questions but i'm not 11

yap, the guy was full of teorys about that , ill try to find is name for you

edit: here he is Phratt

like you and clarky are anything alike...

 

[rhyguy]

What would happen if you had a modchip? would that mess it up?

 

[BL4Z3D247]

hey Fors and Diggles(LOL too funny dude), nice to see you guys teamed up and can't wait for the release of cSSM

 

[Forsaekn]

nope, if you'd like you can disable backup disc loading to regain 6x speed granted to you by your modchip.

 

[kimikal27]

this was is teory:

Well sorta...

Before you get mad, take a second to read this.

Look, Fors disappeared from the seen ages ago and has shown no sign of existence of his supposed cSM. But wait, why would we need cSM? We have the Riiskiimod right? just like cSM it has Region free loading, preloading, is going to have a custom skin, and a custom healthscreen. Riiskiimod, just like cSM is the ultimate Brick prevention project.

"Wait, but didn't Fors want the Ultimate brick protection app? Thats kinda messed up to just make his work moot..."

Normally, I'd say yes, poor baby. But in this case, no. Maybe infact this hidden cSM IS the "Riiskiimod"!

"Phratt, you're crazy, what are you a crazy conspirator?"

I dunno, maybe, but lets look deeper...

We already know That Riiskiimod and cSM basically have the same features and Clarky and company plan on adding more cSM esque features...

"So? Its a just a separate project"

Let me finish! Okay, now lets look at the names. Recently we "had" a vote on the name. What was the name that was chosen in the end? SoftMii. Abbreviated SM. They'll probably call it, Clarky's Soft Mii, which is abbreviated to.... CSM!

Now lets look at clarky, or shall I say FORSAEKEN! *Scary music plays*

Look, Clarky joined October 29th, didn't really post much, that is until Fors started disappearing, around novermber. From then on Fors was gone and Clarky was fairly active. Going on to release "Riiskiimod".

I dunno, maybe too much pot for me or maybe im crazy but atleast this gave you a good read.

Think about it.... Think about it....

funny is it not?
the name of the topic was : CSM WAS RELEASED

 

[HaniKazmi]

I wonder if he actually believed that, or was just trolling.

 

[kimikal27]

Will it be like a half done thing or like a final 1.0 with a few patches here or there? That's what I want to know since I'd only go for a 1.0 thats pretty much bugfree because isntalling something that reworks the entire systemmenu is stupid if there's a bug or something that causes bricks. - That's not really supposed to be a question, jsut something to talk about until Fors posts.
