Hello WiiBrew Forum-goers! I've crawled out from beneath a rock in a far away cave to bring you a very important announcement! The ever-diligent Arikado, who has served this forum well for over a year now as a global moderator, has been promoted to Forum Administrator! I hope you all will welcome your new overlord. :) Good luck! -tonaby tona - Old Announcements
Bushing has covered about eveything I would mention. You all have a good point: Giving freedom to any system generates potential for abuse. When security measures put in place to stop piracy are broken, it's very easy for piracy to come about. However, it's not really Team Twiizers' or (most) developers' intentions to enable or support piracy. Most of them do it out of aby tona - Offtopic

On most threads, there should be a "Follow Topic" button at the bottom. Using this, you can easily get updates on any topics you choose emailed to you, or available in your "Followed Topics List" in your profile. Edit: Well, email doesn't work, but the other stuff still applies.by tona - Feedback & Support
I don't have the full story for BC, but IIRC it is used to load MIOS. You could consider it a bootloader for MIOS.by tona - Software
The "Homebrew Applications" forum was originally SUPPOSED to be where homebrewers could show off their applications. Unfortunately, not many homebrewers are posting here, so that doesn't happen often. But, yes, feel free to spam away :)by tona - Feedback & Support
Close, someone was messing with the search page. It's fixed now. :)by tona - Feedback & Support
Nintendo has problems with file extensions. If you check out the first few bytes of the file, you'll see it's a U8 archive. Edit: And for others following along, he's referring to MAIN_SYSMENU_CONTENT_U8/html/2/iplsetting.ash, where REGION_CODE is US/JP/EU/TW...by tona - Software
To expand on Squidman's definition of the "Pink Fish disc," you can find info here: This disc is the only piece of software known to use IOS16. Since IOS16 is not distributed with games or via Nintendo's Update servers, they didn't update IOS16 when they released the batch-update of all IOSes to fix the signing bug. This means that if you can get your hands on that disc (or jusby tona - Software
There's nothing stopping us from patching every IOS except motivation. If we could get a nice "Updater Channel" going with patchmii (what happened to UPF?) we could easily keep a "controlled" environment with a patched System Menu/IOSes. Then we'd just have to worry about "downgrading" from future revisions. That's sort of a "not quite as cool" alternative to bootmii stuff, thouby tona - Software
Of which? I'm using DScaler 4.1.15.0 (According to dscaler.exe), and I'm a fully updated XP x64.by tona - Offtopic
I don't know about new cards and HD stuff, but I use XP x64 and Dscaler does wonders on my old SD Tuner card. I didn't even need drivers.by tona - Offtopic
You got the letters because you were distributing copyrighted material. You're lucky you didn't get any legal action taken against you--some companies will actually follow through with their threats. Also, no piracy talk here. I'm leaving this topic as an example, but be aware before your post again. And locked.by tona - Offtopic
It's very likely that your system is somehow missing IOS30 or the System Menu. Did you get any errors when installing those titles? (IOS30 and System Menu) Edit: If you're missing either of those, Savemii will not help--and your Wii is pretty much dead.by tona - FixMii
I'm sure you could apply some heuristics that would reduce the amount of time slightly. Like, it's probable that the most significant bit is 1. And, since we're dealing with primes, the least significant bit is also going to be 1. Even if we run through a list of only prime numbers, it's going to take a while. And as for your distributed search plan, realize that you'by tona - Software
We will be able to do it at that speed in 2304 years != It will take 2304 years. It's closer to 2^2304 years to do it at the current speed. Find a calculator that will tell you that. Edit: And once again, the Wii is not anywhere near the speed of computers they're talking about for "a few weeks" computation.by tona - Software
Quite feasible. That's why all modern day security is based on RSA, and uses similar-length keys. Oh, and the PPC Gekko is nowhere near fast enough for brute force like this. We're talking about brute forcing 2048 or 4098 bits. If you read that article, it says 512bit keys are factorable in a few weeks on common hardware. We're talking about 2048 bits means 2^(2048-512) moreby tona - Software

Eh, I was using topic shorthand. But I suppose in this case it will benefit from being a full sentence. Thanks :) Edit: Wait, it already says that. >.> What?by tona - Feedback & Support
QuoteWiiCrazyBy the way, what was the Nintendo's fix to the fakesigning bug? Is there still exists a silly mistake like the initial twilight hack removal code? Did they actually replace the strcmp with memcmp?How else would they fix it? It's not like they need to write any new code or anything--there's nothing to screw up here.by tona - Software
This is not a modchip support forum! Shoo!by tona - The Junkyard
Erm, if the program still works, I wouldn't worry about it. AnyTitleDeleter is one of those down 'n' dirty programs that you shouldn't really have to use. If it's just disabling the Hidden Channels stuff, don't worry about it. If you're post-Oct 23-updated, it's just plain not going to work, and there's nothing I can do.by tona - Homebrew Applications
Well, the forums have been increasing in popularity, so we felt it was time to add an extra helping hand. Arikado is joining the Wiibrew forum staff as a moderator! We hope you will welcome him with open arms :) (Please forward all complaints to /dev/null)by tona - Old Announcements

If you are looking for ANY of these things, then Wiibrew is probably NOT the place for you! Wiibrew.org does NOT support any sort of illegal activity, overt or implied. Users who choose to seek or spread information about downloading or using illegal WADs, Wii game "backups," copied game loaders, modified IOSes to load copies, or video game ROMs will be banned on sight.

I'm not directly familiar with the exploit, so basically anything I can say is not "compromising." (Hopefully nobody feels strongly otherwise) As far as I know, the new exploit is just another IOS bug that can be used to get "kernel mode" permissions. Once you have that in IOS, you can do pretty much whatever you want. I'd assume it's something of that sort. It's most cby tona - Software
Well, the problem is, you're not going to get those filesystem permissions to make those directories without fakesigning. You might as well just fakesign and use the ES calls. There's not really a situation where you can get the Filesystem alternative to work and not have the ES version working.by tona - Software
