Hacking Wii Exploit found in Photo Channel ?

[Scorpei]

Possibly, but isn't the thought possible? As I said earlier I'm no hacker and have 0 experience but I have heared about jpegs allowing "hackers" to run code on systems on computers a few times (working from memory which is hell this time of day

; after studying for the past few hours for a test).

It worked on psp firmwares 2.00 - 2.80 or there was 2 different exploits but they did same thing.

Wii

! That means what I said wasn't total nonsence

.

 

[delta123]

that's why i don't plan on updating my wii's firmware. just incase they can exploit the older ones. like the psp

 

[Hellfenix]

The guy failed by using a dual layer DVD...
I'm pretty sure the Wii doesn'T even read those.. pft

 

[WarmWoollySheep]

it works

Without a proper dumping method...how can we even get these backups? Its the simple "You must have a horse before the cart, not the other way around."

 

[xiaNaix]

The guy who uploaded the video to YouTube claims that the BootLoader and tools for dumping the discs will be released on January 1st via newsgroups and various other outlets. Don't start holding your breath, though.

Notice how he zooms in on the bootloader during the fade to black. An all black screen is a convenient time to stop recording and switch the disc to Zelda.

Finding fakes is fun, make more please

The Wii does read DVD9. It was said at one of the E3s

 

[joe18]

yes. and everything said in any E3 is always true.

just as ps3 can connect 2 hdtv simultaneously and has 2 hdmi ports and what else...

No. it doesn't read dvd9, but there is a rumor that a wii capable of doing that is on the way. at least in japan.

but atm. it cannot read dvd9,

only

* 8 cm GameCube optical disc.
* 12 cm Wii Optical Disc.

You people do realise that the laser tech in the Wii is the same as your standard DVD drive. DVD9 just refers to a disc with dual layers, and I'm positive the drive can read the second layer (since all it needs to do is refocus, and it has focusing for single layer discs anyhow). All 12cm Wii Optical disc refers to is a DVD disc that has a filesystem and TOC which only the Wii can read at the moment. I would be very surprised if there is any physical difference (even GC discs aren't physically different to 8cm dvd discs.)

Wtf?

Anyway, I think it's too soon to start shouting fake. Maybe wait until after new years.

completly fake,a real hackproof video would show a hello world program or something simple like that. There's no way someone found the exploit, deved the tools to dump isos, and cam just after all that
he would too eager to show his stuff.
These foolish fools never stop their foolishness... Â PW2

He has several transitions in the video. Fade to black, blur-fade, several clips rolled into one. If it was the real thing, why so much montage? Why couldn't he just put the camera on a tripod or something, and film it all in one take? That first one (where they used another Wii to run an original game) was much better.

Yeah. You hit the nail on the head. I want to believe. But there's a video like this every other day.

it works

I'm guessing the video on YouTube was yours then?
