Llevaba tiempo queriendo anunciar esto...

Desde YA voy a dejar de participar de forma activa en la scene de Wii, para a partir de ahora dedicarme única y exclusivamente al mantenimiento del "Custom IOS", corregiendo bugs y añadiendo algunas mejoras (como, por ejemplo, el driver EHCI de Hermes). Esto quiere decir que dificilmente vereis nuevas aplicaciones desarrolladas por mí, y las actualizaciones de "Custom IOS" serán menos frecuentes.

Actualmente me encuentro trabajando en un proyecto más prioritario que no tiene que ver con la scene de Wii (bueno, realmente un poco sí después de todo).

EDIT: He says he's just going to focus on cIOS development, and no longer on app development. Because of this, we should expect for the cIOS updates to be less frequent. He is currently working on something non'Wii related (that IS somehow wii-scene related)

An awesome scene member, he broke through the precieved limits of homebrew and Wii hacking, delivering us the goods!

At least it seems he will continue to contribute minor additions to cIOS etc.

Thank you Wanin!!!

Well, I guess he did everything for the wii, Play backups from the disks, from HDD, SD cards, VC Channels from HDD and SD. I virtually see nothing more he can do except correcting bugs, which he will be doing thgouth CIOS maintainance. Wanin teached a lot of people how to be independent. Dotn forget that the WII is essentially for gaming, and in this sense, Wanin made everything possible toward this. Even GC backups, that I rememberd people saying they're impossible to run in a WII were possible, I can hardly think of sthg more that can be done (without being redundant, such as asking to play VC Games from a DVD).So it's good he thinks abit of his personal plans.
Thanks Wanin for everything

It is been a while since I wanted to announce this...

From NOW on, I'm going to stop being actie in the "Wii Scene", to dedicate myself only and exclusively to the maintaining of the "Custom IOS", fixing bugs and improving it (Eg. Hermes's EHCI driver). This means that you will hardly see new apps developed by me, and the updates of the cIOS will be less frequent.

Right now I'm working on a more prioritary project that has nothing to do with the "Wii Scene" (well, actually yes after all).

Just thought of the one thing the Wii scene is still missing: playing GC iso from HDD
It's Too difficult (not to say impossible), since GC doesnt have access to USB. (A GC Card to usb adapter maybe would be one way to go for this one, not sure though). But since you can fit 3 games on one 4.7 dvd (even more) it's not really a problem so far.

Waninkoko is pretty much a legend now. If he can simply continue to update cIOS, everyone will be more than happy (IOS reload?).

Not fair? Give the guy a break, he did a lot of work so you could do things you wouldn't have been able to do otherwise.

Waninkoko's departure doesn't mean the wiiscene is dead... Plenty of devs and coders are out there making nice apps, just not all focused on piracy.

reading ether's translation !

waninkoko is concentrating on cIOS ( so less bugs and more compatability ) also his end comment is that hes working on another wii scene project ( well sort off ) knowing wanin it will be great

seems all good to me

hes most likely finishing up his nand emulator program to allow us to do everything VIA HD, and not touch the real nand...

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
