Hacking Wii Hard drive iso loader in action

[menkros]

Well I've seen it in action. When you turn it on it goes straight to a custom ipod style menu with pics of the full games. It has 20 of them from mario galaxy to mario kart all full games. All I could tell hardware wise was a white hard drive attached to wii usb drive.
here's the info:

$4,250 which includes the cost of the unit, all taxes, shipping and administration, and repair and maintenance for the life of the Fun Center

There was also the Westin Hotel package that does basically the same:

The special Wii system will be updated automatically with hot new Wii games as they become available and includes features to simplify system management for the hotel property. A simple new game menu makes it easy to jump in and play without inserting game discs, and each property can manage what games are offered and how game data is stored.

With this partnership, Westin will be among the first hotel brands in the United States to receive delivery of Wii Fit.

This could turn out useful to study.

that might make it a little hard to learn its secrets.

Plus if it has a custom menu I doubt the twilight hack would work.

If it has a custom menu then dump it using infectus (or whatever) and then install on normal wii's...

The big obstacle here is the price tag, plus dev's won't want to just steal some other menu, they want to create their own, so it has more funtionality that they can develop.

Do you have a link to the companys website?

thanks

has anyone else send one of these in action?
Does it look the same as a normal wii? bigger, smaller?

the device needs to be in the hands of the d2pro team

 

[Joey90]

To be fair it does come with a flat screen TV, DVD player and many wii games (aswell as the wii itself and peripherals)

And the other problem is that they aren't really for sale... you can only donate one to a hospital

so you'd have to be pretty devious to get your hands on one

 

[Link_of_Hyrule]

yeh only way i see someone be able to get one is if they A. Work at a hospital or buisness that has one or B. stole it from that place. or C. they are like freakin rich as heck.

 

[epicelite]

It is just a scam so that when the kids come out of the hospital they will be all like "MOMMY I WANT A WII!" and their parents will be like "Ok we should buy him a Wii he was in the hospital OMG!"

not to mention the HUGE tax write off, and the good PR.

If they are not available for sale to teh puvlic then you just steal it, and then pay their 4k when they send you the bill.

Are you sure that it was an USB-Harddrive. That would be great news, as it means, that the Wiis hardware isn't limited to USB 1.1, but is really 2.0 with the IOS slowing it down. And IOS can be patched. ^^

No, it would mean that specific Wii has a 2.0 usb drive.

 

[Slowking]

They won't manufacture special Wiis for these Fun Stations. It would loose them A LOT of money.

 

[Richy Freeway]

I thought we already knew that the Wii had USB 2.0 and it was limited by the current driver/CIOS whatever...

 

[Slowking]

Unless I've missed something we didn't. THough it's absolutely possible that I missed something.

Maybe you can find the source of your information? I would like to read up on it.

 

[Richy Freeway]

I know it can't be trusted 100% but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii

The USB ports are listed as 2.0
