NES-Hacks: Your home for Wii and DS Hacking!

backup loading for sure. Many people would rather take that instead of ISO loader from HDD

i personally would rather do ISO loader from an HDD, im used to the PS2 HDD ISO Loader.

reading from a channel or hdd doesnt matter, being able to play backups without a chip would be great.

The thing is reading backups from a channel without a mod chip may be bad for the Wii.

honestly i believe that theyre arent that many games worth burning
and the ones worth getting are the ones we buy

i thought the wii wasnt a PSP?!?!?!  HMMM?!

you still cant go around going the wii isnt a psp and stuff like that then come back and use the thing as a resource.. i know exactly what he meant... haha thats just my opinion i guess we all got em

iso channel would be the chit. 9m sure that the first version would allow reading from dvd and the next version would read from a hdd. i would much rather run my backups from a hdd instead of a disc.

I've spoken to a few Hackers lately..

1. Nothing is impossible, It may be harder, but it's not impossible, if you think its impossible you basically fail.
2. If One made USB 2.0 drivers, Made HDD storage drivers, put them into a Iso reading channel, then put in a genuine game into the Wii such as Wiisports, ran the Iso from the HDD it would use the Disk drive as a genuine checker, it will pass then the hack would load the Iso but it would have on the fly readings from the disk.
3. Made Backup reading channel, Use DVD access Library, Download a Iso patch which would be like 2mb in size, The wii runs Iso, Iso tells Wii to read  the backup as some other dvd that any other dvd using program would do on the wii, the backup runs, The ISO aka Patcher goes into Memory and the wii keeps reading the patcher AKA on the fly patching telling the disk drive where to read the files.

Step 1, surely is true.
step 2, Will work, It may have like 3 sec slower loading times (at loading screens) but they could implement Read ahead buffer to ram memory, so only loading screens would be a little longer but in game there will be no lag.
step 3, would work but its really hard, ive spoken to waninkoko about it but its hard.

EDIT: How many times has someone said somethings Impossible?

1. you'll never be able to hack into wii Mode! - Ops it did, twilight hack!
2. Wii linux will never happen! wii is to crap - Whoops, I'm sure I saw a POC (Proof of concept) somewhere
3. Wii will never be able to hack the dvd disk drive to run our own dvds and such! - Meh thats why waninkoko's Cios can do it, and DVD acsess library
4. There will never be any backups for the wii without a modchip - Lets just wait, it will eventually happen, We have dvd acsess, we have the power what a modchip can do, yeah thats right, we just dont know how yet, we need to learn about the dvd drive a little more.

i like the idea of a backup loader, but i think we should wait awhile. With everyone making emulators and games and utilities at the moment i think the homebrew scene is really good, but if backup loaders came, everyone would just jump on board and forget wii-linux, wii64, and other unfinished projects.

Also look how many wii games are coming out, (albeit a few are complete rubbish) with a backup loader games would just stop, as the wii nes boy said, anyone remember the psp?

Personally i think we should wait until at least there's a fully working n64 emulator, or a working psx emulator... AND until the game making (both homebrew and third party official) slow down a bit.

well that's my 2 cents lol

ps. i'm sort of saying this so i cant give into temptation and start downloading games.
