Chicos, ya me extraña que nadie haya sacado esto, supongo que tendra que ver con el hecho de que se haya borrado el hilo que abrio otto_xd hablando de "cosas relacionadas", pero por esa mania de borrar los hilos conflictivos en vez de cerrarlos pues yo por lo menos ni me he enterado de que ha pasado. me hubiera imaginado que acabara en flames, pero ni siquiera eso!
Creo que esta noticia es muy importante sobretodo por la repercursion en todos los niveles que esta teniendo:
"Esto no es un cargador de backups
Nintendo finalmente contesto a la 'carta publica' de Bushing, sin embargo no consiguio hablar con nadie realmente util del problema. Sabemos que Nintendo recibio y leyó al menos dos de los tres mails que les mandamos, y solo contestaron algo despues de la carta publica, de este modo nosotros concluimos en que no estan muy interesados en el problema
Como muchos sabreis, el bug encontrado permite leer DVD-R en una Wii sin ningun tipo de modchip. Hemos descubierto una forma de usar este bug para que el homebrew se pueda beneficiarse de ello, siendo bastante dificil crear un cargador de backups con este metodo (Nota: este equipo esta en contra de la carga de backups e intentan no facilitarlo)
A lo largo de la siguiente semana se intentara sacar la libreria. svpe y dhewg han estado trabajando en un media player que use esta caracteristica para reproducir DVDs, asi como tambien tenemos versiones arrancables desde DVD de Snes9x y Genplus
La gente que no tenga modchips no tendra ningun problema, sin embargo se ha visto que algunos modchips impiden el correcto funcionamiento de la libreria y necesitarian un IOS parcheado, intentaremos realizar un parche de facil instalacion para quien tenga este problema"
Bueno, que os parece todo esto? curiosa la competicion entre sceners que esta haciendo que salgan cosas a la luz mas rapido de lo esperado
Note: this is not a backup loader, in any way, shape, or form. If you’re looking for a backup loader, please move along.
While Nintendo did reply to bushing’s open letter, he has not succeeded in establishing a conversation with an engineer about the issue. Furthermore, we have learned that they received and read at least two of the original three e-mails that were sent prior to the open letter, and decided not to reply (in fact, one of their replies was to one of the original e-mails, but only after the open letter was posted). Therefore, we can only conclude that they are not very interested in the issue.
As many of you may already know or have deduced, the bug in our open letter referred to a way of reading DVD-Rs (and Video DVDs) without the use of a modchip. Several people have investigated the bug independently, and they’ve gotten pretty close. However, we did discover an easier way of enabling this mode from homebrew, which, among other things, does not require any changes to IOS at all. This method is also relatively difficult to transform into some sort of backup loader.
Erant has been developing a library that uses this trick to enable DVD access for homebrew. We hope to release it this coming week, after a few details have been polished. svpe and dhewg have been working on a native mplayer port that uses this library to play back DVDs, which we hope to release as a proof-of-concept together with the library. We also have DVD-loading versions of snes9x and Genplus.
Non-modchip users will not need a custom IOS. Ironically, this method doesn’t work for users of some modchips. Therefore, these users will require a patched IOS using the well-known UnencryptedRead patch (the library will automatically use it if needed). We’ll try to release a somewhat more user-friendly version of patchmii dedicated to this task together with the library.
