May I ask, why use such an old version of Ubuntu? I understand new versions from the past one or two years can't be used because they come with Unity (even though there're still the XFCE versions). But wouldn't a version from 2009 or 2010 be a better choice? Or is it a problem with the kernel versions available for use with the Wii, or the RAM usage that's very high?by gbl08ma - Wii Linux
Well, at least we know that my Wii has been manufactured after the boot1 update and before Nintendo changed the type of disc drives and chips. When exactly did updated boot1 Wiis and D3-2 drives started to appear? I'll go searching. Result 1: "Some time in 2008, Nintendo fixed the strncmp bug in boot1 for newly-manufactured Wiis, preventing boot2 from being modified by e.g. BootMii." aby gbl08ma - Homebrew General
I posted the installer.log at my own server as I don't like pastebins very much (I used to have my own pastebin but I have taken it offline). Also, I couldn't use a pastebin because currently I'm using Windows and the line endings weren't recognized in notepad (the text would have no line breaks) and they wouldn't be copied correctly to the pastebin. So, here at the follby gbl08ma - Homebrew General
I do remember of having a installer.log file on the SD card, but I moved it to a folder on another computer I can't access right now. I'll see if I remember to upload the contents of the file when I get access to it.by gbl08ma - Homebrew General
Hmm... so my Wii is a bit special... I bought it new from a trustworthy online sales site, in a pack with Wii Sports Resort and Wii Fit Plus (and the usual Wii Sports, obviously). I have already thought it has been refurbished, but its price wasn't the one of a refurb console. Obviously, Nintendo could always replace a faulty drive with an older one (of those that play DVDs) and sell the Wby gbl08ma - Homebrew General
Hello everyone. It's my first thread here (I've posted on other threads, but never created a thread on this forum) and I hope it's on the correct section. I also hope that, after carefully reading the rules, I don't bring here any forbidden content. To start from the beginning, I own a Wii for more than one year (next November it'll be two years since it was bought newby gbl08ma - Homebrew General
More than a month after the last post on this thread, it seems everybody has lost interest in finding possible exploits on the free software available for the Wii (e.g. Internet Channel), so I went ahead, bought Lego Batman which was the cheapest game with exploits available for my Wii's region and system version, installed the Homebrew Channel and I'm loving it. So, for me, thereby gbl08ma - Software
And if the GOGI Chrome is really a backdoor (that would be too much luck, but anyways), and it was only accessible with a GameCube controller (if Gp means really a gamecube controller), then hacking would only be accessible to people with a GC controller... which leaves me out of the party as I don't have a GC controller - anyways, it's still cheaper than Indiana Jones game I think...by gbl08ma - Software

Thanks for posting this, it's indeed very interesting - specially for one that can't browse the Wii's NAND internals because doesn't have a way to install homebrew w/out specific games (for now!) :) I see that both GpL = GOGI Previous Page GpR = GOGI Next Page and also GpA = Activate element | Click button | Click default button coincide with the actions for the Left aby gbl08ma - Software
QuoteDaidQuotegbl08maSomething that I think that should be explored is the file download on the Internet Channel. I know Internet Channel doesn't support downloads, but with certain files it just keeps loading forever (and the progress bar progressively increases, but never gets to the max).After a long time it will show a message with "out of memory", it just takes a while because the Wii iby gbl08ma - Software
Hi, I know this is my post here but I've been following the Wii homebrew scene for long ago. Unfortunately I don't have any type of Homebrew installed on my Wii (because I was stupid and didn't know about homebrew when I updated to 4.3, and now I don't have any of the required games to install). Not having a way to install homebrew on system menu 4.3 is what interests me soby gbl08ma - Software
