Gecko 1.9.0.1 Released

brkirch from the WiiRd Community has released an update to the Gecko OS.

Gecko 1.9.0.1

What’s New:

* Moved rebooter to a menu item
* Fixed a bug that prevented the codes and patch folder from being found if in data/gecko
* Fixed a bug that caused a core dump if background.png is in the root directory of the SD card
* Language and video mode settings from WiiRD are now used if a game is started from WiiRD
* Fixed a rebooter bug that caused the currently inserted game disc not to show up in the disc channel

 
Gecko 1.9

What’s New:

* Added channel loading with hooks, channel menu supports same database.txt format as AnyTitle Deleter MOD to replace the channel IDs with channel names (put database.txt at the root of the SD card)
* Ocarina works on channels
* ELF/DOL loading from geckoload now works
* Optionally the directory data/gecko can contain the codes folder, patch folder, gameconfig.txt, config.dat, and background.png instead of the root of the SD card
* GC memory cards are no longer detected as a USB Gecko
* Changed how exit works; if a loader other than the homebrew channel was used (or an old version of the HBC) it will return to the system menu
* Fixed a text overlapping bug that would happen if a disc error occurs and Ocarina is on

Some people have reported getting the message “Error Getting Channel List”; to clarify, the reason you are getting that message is because you need to downgrade IOS36 (it has nothing to do with the Wii menu version).

Bushing Comments on Nintedo Wii Warranty Regarding Modified Wii’s

From Hackmii

I’ve been asked whether installing the Homebrew Channel (or Twilight Hack or whatever) will void the warranty on a Wii. I’ve generally said something like “Technically, yes, but I doubt they will enforce that.” This seemed reasonable, given some of the anecdotes I’ve heard — stories of people ruining their drives with a soldering iron and still getting free repair work done under warranty, etc. I’ve also said that if a Wii is bricked (and won’t boot), then they have no way of actually checking to see what is installed on the Wii — and I still believe that to be true, at least most of the time.

I’ll be the first to admit that was wrong, given some recent evidence:
Warranty Invoice

My German’s pretty bad, but I see “…. Softwarehack … EUR 210″. That seems awfully excessive, given that the price of a new Wii is EUR 250, no?

I would write this off as an isolated incident — maybe someone installed some truly awful warezloading hack. However, I was sent the following email through an anonymous remailer last month, and it would seem to support the invoice above:

    ThePirateBay.org Found Guilty

    Mobil.idg.se (translated) is reporting that four maintainers of ThePirateBay.org have been found guilty and are sentenced to one year in prison.
     
    Tranlated:

    Prison for all four
    Andreas Thors, PC for All
     
    Today, it became clear. The four guys in the Pirate Bay has had its ruling by the Stockholm District Court.
     
    Pirate Bay trial is over. At least in the district court. Today at 11 became a public ruling.
     
    All four accused, Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Peter Sunde and Carl Lundström sentenced to one year’s imprisonment.
     
    Damages are high. The total damages the sum of all involved are over 30 million.
     
    Fredrik Neij, Peter Sunde and Carl Lundström convicted all of abetting the violation of copyright law. By contrast, dismissed the indictment for the preparation of the above crimes.
     
    Gottfrid Svartholm Wargs they are more extensive. In addition to ruling on the above violation of copyright law he is sentenced for violation of the law against dangerous to health goods, and violation of the Act prohibiting certain doping substances.
     
    This is most likely not the end of the trial against the Pirate Bay. Experts and those involved are agreed - ruling will be appealed.
     
    - This case will go in all three instances, the Supreme Court must give it leave to appeal. We can probably not expect a pre-verdict until about five years, said Marianne Levin, a lawyer and expert on intellectual property rights to the PC for All during the trial.
     
    While Pirate Bay Peter Sunde agrees:
    - It is irrelevant how it goes in the district court, there is no real ruling until the Supreme Court should have their say.

    Gecko 1.8.0.2

    brkirch has released Gecko 1.8 the successor to the Gecko OS. This unofficial build is based on Nukes source code from his unreleased Gecko 2.0 and has been approved by the people responsible for the USB Gecko Nintendo Wii hacking/cheat code device. It has a lot of new features and a new GUI.

    1.8 Changes

    * Multidol games work through Gecko’s game loader, rebooter is no longer required for them
    * To ensure games are fully functional the game loader now uses the IOS requested by the game (as a result there is no 002 error, that error is due to game loaders booting a game with the wrong IOS)
    * If a game requests an IOS that you don’t have, the game’s update partition will be searched for the IOS and the option to install the IOS will be given if it is found (if you have a modchip, turn off update blocking!)
    * It is now possible to select not to load the debugger, which increases the number of code lines allowed by Ocarina
    * New hooks have been added so that most (if not all) Wii games can be hooked
    * Rebooter will use the hook selected on the config menu to hook games
    * Rebooter is now compatible with preloader
    * The menu interface has been improved, and you can load a custom background by creating a 640×480 PNG-24 file, naming it background.png, and putting it at the root of your SD card
    * The menu configuration can be saved, and the saved configuration will be loaded automatically when Gecko starts

    1.8.0.2 Changes:

    * GC memory card crash fixed thanks to Nuke
    * A core dump that occurs on some Wiis when launching certain games should no longer occur
    * Fixed code list start for gameconfig.txt
    * A minor Ocarina fix to ensure ASM insert codes will work properly
    * Exit no longer causes a core dump if Gecko was launched by a loader that lacks return to loader functionality (such as preloader); instead exit returns to the Homebrew Channel, or resets the Wii if the Homebrew Channel is not installed

    Bushing Speaks on BootMii Progress

    With the recent sudden departure of Marcan, Bushing releases a screenshot and some promising info on BootMii.

    Just a brief note, since I haven’t written in a while –

    Yes, Marcan has shifted his attention to things non-Wii related. I can hardly blame him; the only reason any of us do what we do is because we find it fun, so when it stops being fun — what’s the point? He’s still around, if you know where to look, and I hope that once we release BootMii, we’ll see some neat projects emerge from it.

    Yes, BootMii is still alive; I still can’t promise a release date, but most of the code has been written and we’re now to the point of testing it out and adding some polish. It’s been installed on about 12 Wiis so far and nobody’s been bricked; I hope that we can release a “public beta” within the next couple of weeks. (In this case, “public beta” will mean “we’ve tested this out quite a bit and are fairly confident that you won’t regret trying it, but not everything is finished and we can’t make too many promises). I would expect those of you who have older Wiis (i.e. those who have a vulnerable boot1) to have an easier time installing it, but we intend to eventually add support for as many of your Wiis as possible.

    Anyway, here’s a sneak peek at what it will look like:
