Hacking Wii ISO Trimmer & Multidisc Loader

[deadrabbit]

This information kinda got lost in the ISO loader thread, so I thought I would revive it.
One of the best homebrew programs for the GC was the garbage wiper it saved a lot of people time and space. As such, these releases will be a great benefit to the community - especially when the inevitable HDD USB loader comes to fruition one day and you can run trimmed ISOs from the HDD rather than the old fashioned optical disc setup!

The intention is to:

1. Install the cIOS
2. 'Trim' a few ISOs (new app for the Wii games, existing app for GC)
3. Use the disc builder program to create a compatible ISO
4. Put ISO in Wii
5. Run loader to choose ISO to load.

From my discussions with him - I'm sure he'll correct me if I'm wrong

I'll release the Trim and Builder apps at the same time as his loader...

...The Multidisc Loader won't work without modchip. It's a different project...

...The trim and builder apps allow you to trim an ISO - by getting rid of the blank space in the middle/end of an ISO. The resulting ISO is then slightly larger than the actual content.

The disc builder creates a disc image that will be compatible with Waninkokos multi loader software...

One question - will it be possible to run scrubbed games through the trimmer - or will it need to be the full unscrubbed version?

Yes you can run scrubbed games through the trimmer.

If you look at the filenames in the image I posted you should see how they're named.
