I think the app to be released is a armboot.bin file that reads the boot2.bin and launches that as if it was boot2. Or something similar.

This almost sounds like waninkoko's nand emulator
No, it seems the idea here is to load it via BootMii, and it will run EVERYTHING from SD. That means the system menu, to loading titles and back. Er...at least I think it could load titles. Not entirely sure since it's not out.

SNEEK v 0.1 (SD-NAND/ES-Emulation Kit) by crediar (10/09/2009)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many tanks to ajd4096 who donated me an USBGecko!


WARNING:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
YOU AGREE THAT YOU INSTALL THIS TOOL ON YOUR OWN RISK, THE AUTHOR CAN NOT BE HELD
RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY EITHER USING OR INSTALLING THIS TOOL.


What is SNEEK and what the hell does it do:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roughly said SNEEK redirects all NAND access to SD and also has its own ES module
which already emulates most of the ES calls but does not check any signatures or
versions of installed titles.

As long as SNEEK is running NO changes are applied to the NAND .
It outputs alot of debug information via USBGecko ie what ES calls are being made.


Known problems:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due the way it works it breaks any SD access on the PPC side. Since a few apps can't
handle that no /dev/sdio device is present SNEEK emulates that with no SD card beeing
inserted.

Since this is emulation random crashes might accour and some stuff might not work.


Install:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you can use SNEEK you need a few additional things:

-SD/SDHC card
-IOS60 (TMD, ticket and decrypted(!) content files)
-BootMii installed as boot2(1)
-an USBGecko is a huge plus since alot of debug information is outputed via it
-a NAND FS dump

Modifying IOS60
-remove the SD module entry from the TMD and reduce the content count by one
-change the TitleID within the TMD and the ticket to 00000001-000000FA

Create the boot2.bin
-run the following commands

elfins.exe esmodule.elf 0000000e tmp.bin
elfins.exe fsmodule.elf tmp.bin boot2.bin

-now copy the boot2.bin to the root of your SD card

Create SNEEK FS structure on NAND
-copy your NAND FS to the root of the SD card
-create this folder structure:
/title/00000001/0000000fa/content/
-copy the IOS60 content files with the TMD into that folder
-rename the TMD to title.tmd
-copy the IOS60 ticket to /ticket/00000001/000000fa.tik

now SNEEK should be fully working and boot up the system menu


Uninstall:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simply restore your BootMii folder on your SD card.

i can only guess but this should speed up hombrew and hacking-developemt tremndously !

now custom system-menus and menu-replacements, ios-mods , and all that really fancy stuff which goes deep , can be tested without bricking the wii , time restoring it etc.

themodding of the wii-nand files is much much much easier and faster too.

this is pretty awesome even though i only use the hbc but crediars systemmenureplacement should be good when ready...(please finish it !)

@"Any Infos?-Posters": Just freaking wait...you can be shure every little shitty Information will be posted here...it's GBATemp

@Topic: The only sense in NAND-Emu (besides Replacements, Mods etc..) is for me more Space for Saves/Wiiware...not more...and we already have that (NeoGamma Mod, Triiforce). Shure Compability would be better, but still...

Anyways, good work (like always), Crediar!
