Hacking Wii sdBoot... fake?

[Hero-Link]

Well a friend of mine found this site...

http://sdboot.cjb.net/

my head just keeps saying its a lie, but i dont have a 2gb SD card, nor do i want one to test a little thing some kid might have done...

Looks fake as all get out.

Opened zeldaboot.bin, which can be dled off this page, in notepad.

_code (renew);
_hardboot (wii://directory/boot/"NULL"boot.bin)
_exe softreset


_display (Boot Loader loading..)

Is what it contains.

Yeah, and it's strange that there are boots file for all the game but Red Steel... Is it a case that it's the only public dumped game that anyone can try to load?

 

[VascoAlmeida]

We cant just say its fake, we nees someone to test it out... i have a 2Gb SD Card, but have the chickens to try it out :/

 

[Tomobobo]

It just doesn't make any sense. It says to put the iso on the 2 gb sd, but the only iso available

1. Is 4.3 GB
2. Doesn't have a boot.bin on the site

Also the dude doesn't give any instructions on how to load the game. No where in there does it say "Put the SD card in the Wii" or anything.

Sure we can, say its fake. The only dumped game is Red Steel, which happens to be a game they don't have. He has already claimed support with other games, which haven't been dumped yet. Obviously fake.

Edit: Also, I'd be much happier if a way to boot Gamecube ISO's from disc was discovered first, I have a bunch of Gamecube games I've never beaten that I'd love to see in 480p on the Wii.

all the gameboot.bins look the same to me
it's possible it's real if the said games are only 2gb but no one knows

probably fake though

 

[dualscreenman]

Hmm. :\

The boot files for each of the games are identical. Plus, there are no Wii iso's under 2 GB.

Fake.

Second, you need a CLEAN 1GB – 2GB (depending on game/rippage) SD CARD [No files on it; formatted] SD Card or GCN ScriptWrite [private/not released to public. GCN SW is used to write data to mini dvd’s and transcode the data to files GameCube/Wii can read.] to be able to put files on the Wii.

QUOTESome DVD burners can view some of the files on the Wii discs. The files viewed are the ones needed.

That should have been an easy tip that this was fake.
