Sorry if this is really naive but how exactly does wc24 work?

As far as I understand (can't remember where I read any of this so sorry if it's completely wrong):
1. power off wii
2. checks if wc24 is on, if yes
3. Restarts system menu in wc24 mode
4... System menu polls various wc24 services

If that's correct, would it be possible for a preloader to detect if it's in wc24 mode and essentially run any code? Preloader 0.29 seems to break wc24 for me so it seems plausable.

Maybe. I think that it's more like
[...]
4. System menu "shuts down" to WC24 mode, leaving IOS running WC24 services.

Preloader is messing up whatever signal that the system menu uses to detect that it should shut down to WC24 mode; I'm not sure where these signals are, so I'm not sure how we should be detecting them. BootMii has the same problem, at least when trying to shut down from GC mode (which restarts the system menu, for some silly reason).

Now that you're debugging the activity how easy would it be to make a clone of the message board outside of the systemmenu? I've been excited for Freedom but the lack of the message board makes me sad, I actually use it. Could you integrate a Message Board clone into say HBC or under Mini? Does a project like that sound remotely appealing? Instead of being forced to store messages on your nand you could choose, SD, USB, forward them to another email address/mobile device etc.....? Even if the Message Board is more of an "on demand" feature it would be useful, it would just break the email forwarding idea.

No and no -- but I know enough about embedded systems to make those statements without any inside knowledge.

Did you ever had access to that kind of hardware? Or did some developers / insiders confirm that.

They'd have to run IOS on a special piece of hardware using a JTAG probe and/or some other extra hardware to collect the output.

Wonder what happens when you send a message/receive a message...

Thanks.

If the messages are always there, are they sent somewhere by an unpatched IOS?
(example: could a signed Nintendo debug application see them, or any special hardware in DevKits?)

I patched IOS to output the debug messages to USBGecko. They're always there, but usually invisible.

(Yes, WiiConnect24 was active.)

Did you have Wii Connect 24 enabled when you took that log? (I'm assuming so, but I just want to be sure)

Question:
Are those rather detailed messages part of the IOS, or did you "create" them yourself?

Anyway: how can one obtain that kind of log in the first place?

Well, since I've failed at getting anyone else interested in this, I was finally able to get some debug spew with my Wii in Idle mode. Anyone have any ideas for something more interesting to try than Weather and News?
