- heysuburbia, on 12/28/2007, -7/+226NES ROMS with Classic Controller support FTW
- wiirdo, on 12/28/2007, -4/+162Sweet! Can we play Vii software on it now?
- kickinazz, on 12/28/2007, -1/+106Better source of the video.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=H5YB1Mmx7E4 - FastForward108, on 12/28/2007, -3/+105I think everyone's missing one very important idea here:
SOMEONE MAKE A HEAD TRACKING GAME. STAT.
(Johnny, we're looking at you) - daridave, on 12/28/2007, -10/+96Nice. Now hack the ***** out of it, make it play ROMs free so that Nintendo will be forced to stop charging retarded prices for downloads if they still want it to be worth the look. Happy days ahead !
- loopis, on 12/28/2007, -9/+84you're awesome and pretty.
- kiiwii, on 12/28/2007, -18/+93you're
- loopis, on 12/28/2007, -21/+83Have it for the 360 your not missing much.
- BenKenobi88, on 12/28/2007, -4/+65Really doesn't matter, as it's all specialized...not to mention you're running 480p, not computer resolutions.
- synce, on 12/28/2007, -9/+68What we've been doing on PC for years FTW!
- CLShortFuse, on 12/28/2007, -0/+58The decryption/encryption keys were found. That's "all" so far. They can read every single command that runs through the Wii's memory. I don't think they can write to the memory. Of course that can come later. They built a memory reader.
Here are the possibilities:
1) Create your own software that launches applications on the disc drive, SD card, USB drive or Wifi with SIGNED code. Burn it to a DVD and run the DVD on a drivechip modded Wii (which is what you're watching) or make a pressed disc (like HDLoader for the PS2).
2) Decrypt and modify the already dumped NAND Wii firmware and create your own custom firmware (like the PSP) that reads DVD-Rs, launches programs via SD or Wi-Fi Samba shares or USB Mass storage devices and allows you to modify the memory for code injection. Install this signed custom firmware by a pressed DVD, DVD-R (with a modded Wii) or via a DNS hack spoofing as a firmware update from a Nintendo server.
You can expect a pressed signed disc to come out from Asia, a few weeks after the keys are posted on the internet, that'll allowed you run unsigned applications (like .ELF on PS2 and .DOL on the GameCube) and you'll be able to pop that in and run whatever type of program you want on your UNMODDED Wii. - AntBing, on 12/28/2007, -2/+60That's funny coming from a guy with your user name.
- fluidfoundation, on 12/28/2007, -5/+56Thats nothing. I hacked a Vii with a pocket knife, tube of toothpaste, and a Legend of Zelda watch game.
- BlkGuyAtThePrty, on 12/28/2007, -0/+49so, WiiMediaCenter will be released in a few days then... right?
- KewlerKid3, on 12/28/2007, -20/+69Took long enough. Now we can port assassins creed to the Wii!
- inactive, on 12/28/2007, -5/+52Yore
- inactive, on 12/28/2007, -23/+66Geforce 2
- roffelmeh, on 12/28/2007, -7/+49make goldeneye better some how
- neoneddy, on 12/28/2007, -4/+45So does this require any modchips? I assume no... it would be great to see a MAME disc come out.. or even SNES /NES emulators
- celkin, on 12/28/2007, -3/+43minus 80 diggs: you've been pwned!
- demodawid, on 12/28/2007, -3/+38Wiinux, anyone?
- thephosphorbox, on 12/28/2007, -1/+36Is this something that Nintendo can just patch over and break? I know they can force patches even if you don't have it connected to the internet by including them on game discs. I'm pretty sure Mario Galaxy has a Wii system patch on the disc... hmmm.
- saisumimen, on 12/28/2007, -0/+34Und now vee shall commence ze experiments!
- Salviati, on 12/28/2007, -1/+34And the countdown to DVD-video support and XboxMediaCenter port begins.
- smrekar, on 12/28/2007, -3/+35the last 5 seconds is the best for me.
Ya! Sank u Guyz! - mrelusive, on 12/28/2007, -0/+30Finally, some worth-while 3rd party support!
- ChrisRX, on 12/28/2007, -2/+32No it didn't. SMG tells you that it's going to update and says that if you don't want to update then you should switch the power off. It didn't update without your permission but it did force you by not allowing you to play unless you updated
- mywhitenoise, on 12/28/2007, -3/+32Is it $30? I thought it was $5, I grabbed it when it was free.
- SpacePirate, on 12/28/2007, -6/+35Officially? Really?
- supermanred, on 12/28/2007, -2/+30Assassins Creed without at least 360 quality graphics would be awful. The only good thing about that game (after you've done all 4 types of activities once) was climbing a tall church tower and looking around at all the people walking and looking at the ocean.
- celkin, on 12/28/2007, -3/+30Er'uoy
- MacEnvy, on 12/28/2007, -0/+27Can't be, he didn't use a rubber band or a paper clip.
- TomRemixed, on 12/28/2007, -1/+28I think he did pretty well for presenting something they just discovered an hour before the event.
- bigfinger, on 12/28/2007, -6/+32its something like a rage 128. Just kidding, I'm a Nintendo fan and it doesn't have much power at all. It was said to be twice as powerful as a Gamecube, but turns out to only be a little bit more powerful then the OG Xbox. Where it comes into its own is interaction, not graphics.
- arenas46, on 12/28/2007, -2/+27Are you five??
- zzz@tkz, on 12/28/2007, -6/+31MacGyver is that you?
- allahuakbar, on 12/28/2007, -1/+25hells yeah, looking forward to Super Antonio Nebula!
- TicoTico, on 12/28/2007, -1/+25This is the only intelligent post I have read regarding this digg
- inactive, on 12/29/2007, -0/+24O Wiili?
- trvr, on 12/28/2007, -0/+22a MAME and/or SNES disc would be great. Even better would be if you could throw the ROMs onto an SD card, put that card in the Wii and access them from an emulator disc.
- inactive, on 12/28/2007, -5/+27At $5 for NES, $8 for SNES, and $10 for N64 games, no, they are not reasonable prices.
The realm of "reasonable" is around half that. - inactive, on 12/28/2007, -5/+27question: what computer graphics card is the Wii's graphics chip comparable to?
i know the PS3's is like a 7800GT, the 360's is like an X1800, howbout the Wii? - BillDoE, on 12/28/2007, -0/+21Has that dude in the video slept in the past week?
- KibibyteBrain, on 12/28/2007, -1/+22Yeah, this kind of work is more impressive than most electronics engineering thesis projects these days, so why don't you just go back to high school or wherever you came from where of course anything you don't do seems trivially easy or just a waste of time.
- MarkKezner, on 12/28/2007, -4/+25Don't talk out of your ass
- Disease, on 12/28/2007, -4/+25I'd believe you if it was the year 2012.
- foxingworth, on 12/28/2007, -0/+20Granted it's too early to tell for sure, but if what he's saying is true, then this'll require a drivechip (like the ones out now, used for backups). If he's using the encryption keys, that's good enough to fool the Wii into running the code without modification; but you'll still need something to fool the drive into ignoring the fact that it's a burned disc.
- CLShortFuse, on 12/28/2007, -0/+20it's Wiili
http://www.wiili.org - tendonut, on 12/28/2007, -2/+22I think the Xbox topped it, but it definitely blew away the PS2.
