Isn’t WiFi great? If you’ve got a working wireless connection hooked up to your Wii and have yourselves a memory card, you’re all set!

The Homebrew Browser is a revolutionary new program that allows you to download Homebrew straight from the internet onto your Wii. No more taking out of SD Cards and copying over files. The application features a list of features, such as automatic updating to a newer Browser version, deletion of apps, and it’s even able to update your Homebrew apps once a new version is released!

How it works:

  1. The Homebrew Browser (HBB) contacts main server to receive a listing of the current homebrew applications. The list contains the different homebrew application names, image file sizes, boot file sizes and whether it is a dol or elf file.
  2. HBB checks to see if the user has the latest image files (stored in /temp)for all homebrew listed. If the image is out of date or missing, it downloads the image file.
  3. Once in HBB and when selecting a game to install, it downloads the icon.png, meta.xml and boot.dol/elf files from the server.

D2E already hacked!

July 1st, 2008

Posted by king_td

We’ve heard rumors of a new unmoddable drive. Well that rumor is now slashed and dashed as the makers of the Wasabi chip managed to hack the drive making it possible to be modded. See what they have to say here

Did you hear about the new D2E drive? We’ve only got a couple of reports of those drives seen in the wild so you don’t need to worry about them yet, but they have been spotted at different places. They are the successors of D2C2 drives and the the curious may be wondering if this new drive is a reaction to Wasabi’s 9-wire patching method. There’s one way to know for sure, that is dumping the firmware and look at the build date to see if it was created before or after Wasabi diagrams :

So D2E firmware was created on the 12th of February 2008. Wasabi diagrams were released on the 19th of February… Do we really need to say more? :)

Update: Wii and GC backups are now running :)

Stay tuned!

We the community will NOT give up! Keep up the good work guys, we appreciate every bit of it

Get Gecko OS as a channel!

June 27th, 2008

Posted by nedthehead

One of the big reasons people despised firmware 3.3 was because it cut out the Twilight Hack and blocked Trucha Signed discs. Well, earlier this week we got ourselves a new Twilight Hack, but we still needed a way to run our Trucha discs on 3.3.

Fear no more, because we now have a BETA release of Gecko OS. Now as an official BETA, you can now run your games region free. Online has been tested and working too!

This is the first public beta to allow people to try out WiiRD (Wii Remote Debugger). It also has a new Gecko Region Free engine which will boot nearly all games, even from the homebrew channel.

SD card features and USB Gecko client commands are disabled in the version as they are unfinished but I wanted to release a version of WiiRD / GeckoRF engine due to large amount of requests and the fact Gecko RF 1.5 had too many bugs :)

The package comes as a app which can be launched with the homebrew channel, also a DOL file is included if you want to make trucha based DVDs or custom channels

And what is this WiiRD you’ve been hearing about?

WiiRD is a game hackers dream app, with a large number of cool tools you can use. The official website for it is http://wiird.l0nk.org/wp/ and will also be posted and supported at http://www.usbgecko.com/forums

Documentation for WiiRD including the new cheat code type technical documentation is always included in the WiiRD archive download file.

Included in the download is a file that can be launched from the Homebrew Channel, or a WAD you can install to the Wii main menu. You don’t need both. Choose whichever is more convenient to you.
