Wii disc dumper - v1.5.1 by Zapf Bandit, nitrotux & CaitSith2
————————————————————-

This is a Wii-mode disc dumper that dumps to the Wii’s front-SD or to a USB2 drive. A SD gecko is not required at all.

First install ios5.wad (obtained from previous version) using a wad manager, or install waninkoko’s cios 249.

WARNING: Installing WAD files is dangerous and might permanently brick your Wii. Only do this if you know what you are doing.
I take no responsibility if you brick your Wii.

The “wiidump151″ folder should be inside the “apps” directory of the SD card.

Then simply run the boot.dol file and start dumping.

Dump however many parts is required for the Disc type present in drive. There are not very many DL Wii game discs out there.

With an 8G SDHC card or a >8G USB2 FAT formatted drive you should be able to rip Wii games in one go.

If you are using a smaller cards simply copy all the “*.bin” files to the computer then restart wiidumpsdhc, it should then resume from where it left off.

Important!!! Do not move the “*.info” file off the SD card until all parts are dumped.

When you have all the “*.bin” files and the “*.bat” and “*.sh” file on the computer run either the “*.bat” of “*.sh” file and wait until the joining is complete.
This script will check the validity of the parts and the final “*.iso” file.

Make sure the drive you are going to join the iso is *NOT* FAT or FAT32 (e.g. NTFS) or the join will fail.

A big f-you to teq, you suck.

PS If any linux script junkies could make a good joining script I would love to be able to add a generated “*.sh” script.

Comex has released a video showing a working Wii exploit in the Super Smash Bros. Brawl game. Once released, it will give Wii owners another way to install homebrew onto their systems.

From the release notes:

Exploit by comex, ELF loading code by Team Twiizers. Bug used was discovered by svpe.

This exploit exploits a vulnerability in SSBB’s stage builder code to run arbitrary homebrew code. Currently it will load an elf file from /boot.elf on the SD card.

This exploit differs from others in the fact that it is quite difficult for Nintendo to patch. There is no method on the Wii for patching games, and as this exploit does not go through the System Menu, it can not be patched by Nintendo at this time.

Join us in #sssb on EFNet (irc.efnet.net) to discuss! Release is when its done (aka: soon).

All you have to do to use this exploit is delete all custom stages on your Wii, then copy over the file. When you etner the Stage Builder menu, it will automatically run /boot.elf on SD.

DON’T NAME THIS EXPLOIT! LEAVE THAT TO COMEX!

The original video can be found here.
