NES Hacks

Bushing has issued a statement that an update for the twilight hack could be release soon fixing a few issues. Mainly the compatibility for SD cards. bushing has also issued a statement saying that a new update from Big N could possibly break the hack once again, making it harder to crack this time. This is what bushing had to say…

It’s been a few days, so I’m just going to post some brief notes on what I’ve been working on lately.

* Twilight Hack: Marcan did a great job of putting together a nice new release that works with System Menu 3.3: Twilight Hack v0.1beta1. It seems to work well; we have some initial reports that some SD cards don’t work with it, giving a “error -1 reading boot.elf”. I’ve found at least two different problems that can cause that, so expect a small update soon — in the mean time, reformatting the card often fixes it.

* Updates: No new updates, as seen on Marcan’s Wiimpersonator. I would not expect this to last; Nintendo will probably release a fixed version of their anti-TP hack code which will not be nearly so easy to defeat. For those of you who updated to 3.3, take that as a warning and just don’t update next time. We’re working on a long-term solution.

* Korean Wii: We believe that the new Korean Wiis have a new common key, and we won’t be able to use our tweezer attack to recover it. I’d like to take a look at one and see what other avenues of attack there may be. If anyone knows how I can buy one of these and get it shipped to the US, please let me know.

* Forum: I must confess to the fact that I didn’t even know there was a Wiibrew Forum until recently, but the admins there have put a lot of work into spiffing the place up recently. I think we can turn this into a good resource to take the place of some of the discussion that doesn’t really belong on a wiki, so please drop by and bring your quality questions with you.

* UnbrickMii / Factory — both of these have updates which deserve their own article. Stay tuned.
