New Nintendo-Scene Tutorials

A few new tutorials have been created on the forum lately. Quite a few of these can only be found on our forums.

  • How to backup Wii/GCN ISOs over Wifi
  • How to disassemble and customize a Wii Wheel
  • For more information on creating Wii backups the standard way, the Creating Wii and Gamecube Backups tutorial is still a good read. A Backup Wii Games to SD card tutorial has also been made by tom35, though it requires an SD Gecko.

    Tom has also compiled a list of sicknasty413’s Wiimote and Nunchuk LED modifications into a single thread, which is a good place to start when researching those types of mods. Other Wii modification tutorials can be found in either the Wii Case/Hardware Mods section, or in its child forum known as Wii Remote Hacking.

    YaWnD: Yet Another Wii NAND Dumper - v0.1

    Redbird over at elotrolado.net has released another Wii NAND dumper, which dumps the contents of your Wii’s flash to your front SD card. This differs from previous NAND dumpers, as it is not decrypting the file system, only creating a 512 MB “wiiflash.img” file. This could be used along with an NAND programmer and an Infectus chip to restore your Wii to a previous state.

    From the translated release notes:

    You wonder why another NAND dumper was created when they already exist. These are my reasons:

    1. The Waninkoko of SD does not work on the front. In addition, I was for me from about 300MB and then writes very slow, almost no progress, takes minutes to download another MB.
    2. The Nuvalo of SD writes in the front, but no work for me since the Homebrew Channel doesn’t support it. In addition, makes me nervous to be counting the bytes missing, filling the entire screen …
    3. I wanted to learn something simple and useful to me outside.

    Why use YaWnD:

    1. SD wrote in the front.
    2. Use Wiimote.
    3. It can be used from the Homebrew Channel (HBC) and returns to it so clean.
    4. It uses the latest release of devkitPPC r15 and bookstores libOGC, which should be compatible with future updates of HBC.
    5. Reports of what it does fill the screen without too.

    Above all, let me take this opportunity to thank the work of developers Homebrew Channel, DevkitPPC and libOGC in which I have based, with special mention of Marcan, who occasionally goes by here and has my full respect. And, of course, not forgetting Nuvalo, which was the one who hung the source that helped me to see how to access the NAND easily.

    And now the warning: the program is provided “as is” without any express or implied warranty. The user uses it on his own responsibility and only for lawful purposes of obtaining a backup of the data contained in the flash of their Wii.

    NTSC Wii Semi-Brick Fix Disc

    Bushing has posted a NTSC Wii semi-brick fix disc in his HackMii blog for those who may have been bricked by an import game. It is for use only on NTSC consoles, and will brick PAL or NTSC/J if used.

    From the release notes:

    I’ve made a disc which will hopefully fix any NTSC Wii that got bricked by an imported Mario Kart game (or similar). It is an ISO with one partition — an update partition — and it contains three files:

  • IOS30-64-v1040.wad
  • SystemMenu-v289.wad
  • __update.inf:
  • System Menu v289 is the newest NTSC version of the system menu available on Nintendo’s download servers; it’s what you will get if you go into the Settings Menu and perform an update. I packed it into a WAD, and maintained the original, valid Nintendo signature, so it should be safe to install. (The disc, however, is fakesigned. This should not be a problem.)

    I’m including IOS30 as well, just in case — it’s what this system menu uses. I would expect all systems out there to already have it installed, but hey.

    Obligatory warning — I have tested this on 3 Wiis and it seemed to work fine, but I can’t make any promises that it won’t brick your Wii. It contains no safeguards; use this ONLY on an NTSC (US) Wii. If you use it on an NTSC/J or Pal Wii, it WILL BRICK you. (If there is a need, I can make similar discs for those systems.)
