Raw DVD access (for linux)

This thread worked once before. This is a collection of what I know so far. I hope people can add to this and maybe answer some of my questions.

First here is the Gamecube driver.

Makefile
drive_20010608.h
drive_20010831.h
drive_20020402.h
drive_20020823.h
drive_all.S
gcn-di.c

The first 4 files have no licenses or credits, and start with something like "static const char drive_20010608_firmware[] =". My conclusion they are firmware dumps, and this leads to my first question.

Has any one dumped the wii's dvd drive firmware?
If so does anyone have a link to these files, or could they be uploaded to the gc linux git?

here is a link that might be of use.
MN102 Disassembler Module for IDA, precompiled for 4.9 win32

This is a list of wii drive version:
GC2 - DMS or GC2R - D2A
GC2R - D2B
GC2 - D2B
GC2 - D2C
GC2 - D1A
D2C2 and D2E
Is a specific firmware dump required from each of these?

In regard to the last two files. Can the majority of this code be reused? I have some reason to believe yes.

as Tmbinc said "this is about a special piece of hardware from matshita"

On the page titled "DriveVersions" the first two wii drives are in a list following the gamecube versions. There is also a page titled "DICommand" and a section called "Wii Addons".

This wiki has been take down. Is it dead or has it just gone into hiding?

Your conclusion is wrong.

Look at the Makefile to see how those files are generated. The sources of those files have a copyright and a license.

I've been tryong to install homebrew for two days now. I followed the instruction for bannerbomb and hackmmi. Nothinging seems to work. I have wii menu4.0 and my serial stars with LU35. Can someone help please.

Dude, don't hijack other people's threads.

Ok, the files like "drive_20010608.h" are generated from specifics for each drive in "drive_all.S"?

Yes.

Experimental DVD support added to the kernel today. I will give it a full test tomorrow. Big thanks to isobel.
