Posted by noha420Each game is packaged "inside" an appropriate emulator. However, playing your own ROMs through the VC is impossible, for various reasons touched upon (like the hilariously over the top encryption). Your only real bet is to use an exploit to run a emulator coded for the Gamecube. |

k.
Running our own VC games on the Wii is going to mean running homebrew on the Wii. Running homebrew is going to mean finding a hole, because we are NOT cracking an RSA key any time soon. This does NOT mean it's impossible: The PSP and DS used RSA and other encryption. Always remember: The Dreamcast was "unhackable". (And Nintendo's idea of security is changing the case of a password to a backdoor in the drive's firmware.) Mod chips already exist but they only allow backups and Gamecube homebrew (as GCN uses no signing), not Wii homebrew. This forum seems to be the most active Wii hacking forum (which isn't saying much); most of the posts are spambots (don't click, it's a trap!) , but there is intelligent discussion in there. Some interesting findings were made in this thread; mainly that the Photo Channel dislikes corrupt filesystems. Wiili is also a good Wii news source (or more accurately, Gamecube homebrew news source, because all the Wii news is "new version of some emulator for Gamecube"). |

WISE FWOM YOUR GWAVE!
Ok... now that this thread is revived, I'd like to show you guys a few discoveries I've made here. First off, Exhibit A. This thread has a guide to how to rip VC games or anything hosted on Wii Shops server (it's the biggest post in the thread  ). (just as a tid bit, it's an Apache server )
You see. The wii doesn't download one big .bin file, like we've seen when we place VC games on our SD cards and view them on our computers. Instead it downloads smaller files and puts them together on the wii. Now that you have set yourself up, I'd like to show you some of my findings. I have Super Mario Bros.'s Files. This should be interesting to see if you can get the rom out of it. I have Internet Channel's Files. (warning, this is kinda' big AKA a slight server clogger for me) I'm not sure if you'll get far with this but it'll be neat if you can. I also have some .bin files I found through the proxy. They're updates for the news channel and weather channel. There is also a wii message there too. I had already received this message months ago from Nintendo but for some reason, it kept popping up in the proxy. To view these, I suggest you use note pad. The news files are fairly garbled but it's possible to make out an article here or there. The Message should be easily read by all. And as for the weather updates, it's garbled all the way through. Hope you have fun with this! Edit: Since some people can't getinto GBAtemp, I'll post the guide here.
PS. The links given in this guide don't work... ____________________ |

Maybe my Wii will get some life now if this thing comes through |

Doubt no one knows of this but I'm passing it along anyway. |

Posted by Shadic Well... Basically all I've done so far is download the files which are compiled into a VC game onto my PC. If we can find a way to put those things together, we could possibly extract the rom and insert another. The only problem here is, we have no way of getting this to work on the wii yet. The two ways I can think of are these. A) Finding a way to put these files together and finalize the file. What I mean by finalize is that the wii somehow encodes the file so it can only be played on a specific console. If we can find out how a file is "finalized" we'll be on the right track. By comparing the full file downloaded from the VC to the wii along with the seperate "pre-finalized files" downloaded to the PC, we could possibly be able to figure out. If we can pull that off, I'm pretty sure all one would need to do is place the new "finalized" file onto an SD card and it should work. B) We find someone who hasn't upgraded the firmware on there console and have them use the wii shop browser trick. We'll have someone host the files for any VC game we choose. The person with the Wii will then attempt to download them to his Wii. If this works, we will have made our first step in this big process. Now if it does work, we should continue by looking into the files and finding the rom, replacing it, and have the guy try again. In theory, this should allow the guy to play a whole different rom via the VC emu. Now these are only theories and I'm currently siding with "option A" since it will be much more practical since we won't have to all go out and get new wiis. I would like to see option B attempted sometime though. The reason I have given out these files though is because I have no idea how to look into them. I have gone through with a hex editor but there's nothing special I've seen inside. Also, Craig, I'm enjoying this Wii shop via Firefox. I'm not sure yet, but I might be able to use this to my advantage at one point. ____________________ |

I might be getting a Wii in the near future, if I do I'll let you know and not update it till we get to play around a bit, you'll have to let me know what to do WHEN I do get it.
Anyways, so I'll let you know when that happens. ____________________ Petition for Factor 5 game on Wii |

Posted by Panzer88 That's great! But I think the one thing you will need is the Nintendo Wifi USB dongle thing... then we should be set. EDIT: I'm currently comparing the files between SMB and and the pieces on my PC in a hex editor. I'd like to ask anyone in the US who has any NES VC files on their wii to please upload them for me. (I need SMB the most...) I've found something interesting and I might need these files. ____________________ |

I have about six NES games from a torrent.
-Legend of Zelda -Donkey Kong -Mario Bros. (I think it's the arcade version though...) -Pinball -Solomon's Key -Wario's Woods They all come up to 69.2MB though .____.;; The torrent was names "WII GAMES" or something like that, if I remember. |

Wait, is it possible to download a channel game from a site, then put it on the SD card and it'll play?
Sorry if it sounds like a lame question. ____________________ lawl blog http://interdpths.blogspot.com/ |

Posted by Celice Posted by KawaiiImoto-eBoth useless. Those are after the Wii has encrypted/combined them into one file. We need the files before that, captured from a download. Posted by TanksContent/Console Revocation List?  |
