Wii Custom Firmware Coming

[Rock Raiyu]

According to reports at Wiili.org, a custom Wii firmware is in development. It won't be like Dark_AleX's Custom Firmware (for PSP). but features may be put into it soon!.

Wii Custom Firmware!

It seems all the good stuff comes out E3 week lol.

woohoow

Finally

Hmm, custom firmware that enables a NAND safety feature.
Total kick ass right there.
This opens up the chance for more hacking with less worries.

Kinda reminds me of the ol NDS firmware hack that added a recovery ability.

Definitly worth installing for those of us that have to try out everything.

I can't wait.
Totally awsome.

Now recovery system, later, color changing custom idle audio mp3 player firmware woo!
Though a fully functional Linux OS replacement would be awsome too.

Huh, I thought that people agreed that the Wii was not a PSP?

Oooooh boy.

The NAND safety idea is a really good idea. Before going deeper in the Wii's hacking, having a "brick" protection is a must. Who know what we will see in a near future...?

Hopefully we get some PSP-like features.

Well I'm sure we wont get a iso loader because bushing does not support piracy.I hope we get a feature that lets us customize the wii menu and also something that lets us delete the news channel and weather channel that we really don't need.

Sounds like you should read this.

It's not made by Bushing..

I'm talking about plug-ins such as save state and such..

 

[DarkLG]

It's made by Marcan But he himself doesn't support piracy either and also i'm pretty sure Bushing is helping make this too.

 

[704jaffer]

Features or no features, once someone's done it there will be the opportunity for others to improve upon it

 

[OrGoN3]

There will be no custom firmware for the Wii that allows the playing of backups without a modchip. Nintendo has already contacted Bushing regarding the security hole and you can expect a patch to be made shortly.

 

[imgod22222]

the whole point of CFW is to take Nintendo out of the picture. -.-

If it does come out, I'd like to see a dumping utility that can dump DVD9s. (In case of another SSBB fiasco) Especially if it can besides to SD.

 

[zidane_genome]

First, as long as you don't go to 3.4, you'll be fine.

Second, there is a WiFi dumping utility that can dump GameCube, Wii, and SSBB right over WiFi to a computer without the need for the SD card (other than to put the .elf on)

 

[imgod22222]

Oh, never saw that. PM me a link plz? Dun wanna fill up this thread with too much off-topic posts. (As I too often feel like I do) Thnx.

Any chance this custom firmware will allow Trucha signed games to work again? I have a custom disc I found of GH3 with Rock Band songs that no longer works because I accidentally updated. I'd love to be able to use that again to help hold me over until I get either RB2 or GH:WT for my 360 (and unfortunately the GH:Aerosmith songs don't interest me at all).

 

[jaxxster]

aparently wanikokos custom ios allows this anyways

From what I understand though, since the system menu and the game menu doesn't actually load his custom ios, you can't load up a disc with Trucha signing anyway. Ie, only homebrew can access the custom ios.

Edit: Looked into this some more and apparently it can be loaded fine through Gecko OS.

Well, it might give a feature to run burnt copies without a modchip. I hope, if Nintendo decided to block homebrew with a new update, I'm not upgrading until people have a fix, or Nintendo add some GOOD new features. And I mean, GOOD!
