Provided DVDx can be installed on 4.3, it can be used to install fake signed content (e.g. a patched IOS). It has not been used this way before, but it is possible.

I did not know that. How would this work? Marcan said that from October 23, 2008 until Bootmii was released, piracy was not possible using Team Twiizers applications, but they did update their DVDx installer during that period. Of course, at that time, pirates had another way of installing fakesigned content.

Apparently running DVDx gives access to AHBPROT (a register in the Wii), which allows you to disable MEM2 protection. Once the protection is disabled, ES can be patched in memory to remove signature check. Then, temporarily, the current IOS will be able to install fake signed content. It could install a patched IOS, which will permanently give the Wii an IOS with no sig checking.

However, it's probably unlikely this method would be used. It'd probably be easier to use MINI to do it. It could directly in NAND change the TMD of IOS15 to revision 0, then back in IOS you'd be able to install the oldest revision (with trucha bug) and use it to install patched IOS36 (slightly like TBR, only first bit is different).

Yeah, i just tried to change the only instance of JODI in the arm file, and no luck.

You'd have to do it in the ppc file, I think.

I remember some people were successfully able to do that a while back.

And that's pretty much all they've done, people will have homebrew (and piracy :( ) on 4.3 in no time.

Silly question, if we move to prevent the piracy, how would Nintendo react? Weren't the exploits only known by TT? Or maybe the hackmii installer could fix the known exploits that pirates use and use the unknowns to install HBC?

Since software based piracy requires the trucha bug (at least the pirates have yet to accomplish it without the trucha bug) and TBR can no longer downgrade IOS 15, pirates will probably not be able to trucha patch IOSes without Bootmii, at least for awhile. If Team Twiizers does not update Bootmii or they find a way to prevent its use for piracy, it will probably take some time before software based piracy is possible on 4.3.

Still, this would probably not cause Nintendo to stop their ineffective anti homebrew attempts. After all, they certainly don't like emulators, region free hacks, or cheaters in online games.

How hard would it be to make an app that just modifies the title id of the HBC then. That way people can keep the HBC when they update and wont have to go back through the Hackmii installer, which doesn't work right now anyways. Isn't the title id just a string in a file. That shouldn't be that hard to modify.

You could do a "quick fix" right now by just changing the title ID of the HBC and then rereleasing it. Unless it verifies each title it launches, in which case we have to do trickier things.

Yeah, as I've been saying, it looks nasty. Now it seems to spit out Error 004 when attempting to load homebrew. :S

Let's hope TT can overcome this one.
