Hacking New Super Mario Bros. Wii

[nudels]

Care to explain what FFS is quickly?

FFS = For Fuck Sake

I had a thought, anyone tried to remove there chip? (if you have a solderless chip that is) and then tried it through a loader like neogamma7 or similar...

Not to be a killjoy but you can stare at main.dol with a hex editor until you go blind and all you're going to see (that is legible) is bits of text from the SDK, comments and *stuff*. Any copy protection isn't going to appear as text, this isn't BASIC programming from the 1980s, it's compiled code with a few strings of text in it... IF the protection is in main.dol (and I say "if" simply because we don't know) then it's going to need somebody who understands assembler, has a USB Gecko and is capable of disassembling (and understanding) it.

Basically, I think our "amateurish" attempts (that's not a criticism, I've been doing the same!) have pretty much been exhausted at this point and until somebody far more clued-up than the overwhelming majority of us tears the code apart, we're stuffed.

how do oyu know it runs on the offical dics its not out anywhere yet. and maybe it chack for hbc then screw you up but i dought it

You can get hold of the game in Australia (even though its not officially released yet, but if you work in a store or know someone who does then you can buy it 'under the counter')
A guy called Kongnutts had one, even posted a photo to prove it and tried dumping several times it and had the same problems as the scrubbed version (he knows what he's doing, he's dumped loads of games in the past all successfully!)

You need IOS53 , a new one.

Nintendo couldn't have timed this "New Protection" any better, or with any other game..I see this as Nintendo's test...To see how long this goes until it's cracked, then learn how, then fix it for future releases

as they did with SMG. really, to those that are able to check things like hex and stuff, could this just be a beefed up SMG piracy blocker?

 

[boof222]

you mean ios 53
edit: @ kongsnutz

 

[mistajase]

You need IOS35 , a new one.

Yay kongsnutz, nice to see you've returned after the last thread got deleted! don't suppose you know where I could get that IOS?

 

[Riicky]

try using NUSD

Might I inquire as to what was done with SMG? I bought it for some holiday, it works fine with the USB drive & loader I use. Just a thought, as I am trying to help.

i can tell you exactly where you need to hex edit. But straight up deleting the references to the security will result in a black screen from usb or DVD.

Yeh was a typo.

Also it can be got from dopIOS, just download and don't patch it.

dopIOS can be got from wiibrew.org

@ dlf - i don't nkow what nintendo did, but at that time, all modchips had to have a update to play the game. considering this one is a big issue, wouldn't suprise me if the modchip makers need to make a new update for this game too.

 

[ayojoe]

Yo I have a quick question.

I have System Menu 4.0 with StartPatch disabling disc updates and what not. When I get the real game on the day it comes out, all I need to do is install the latest IOS53 and I'll be fine right? It won't conflict with 4.0 or have compatibility issues?

 

[sbanting]

I'm a little confused as I have IOS 53 v4xxx on mine and the game still runs for 2 mins or wat ever with my wiikey v1, so does the newer IOS do anything different?

 

[Riicky]

Could the "protection" possibly be in the new IOS53?? maybe everybody is looking in the wrong place?

No i only mentioned it because the disc wouldn't show on someones wii. IOS53 makes it show and play for a few mins.

If you can already play it at all, you have a sufficient IOS53

No because it only uses the 4.1 IOS53, you can play it with a newer one and still same issue.
So no they didn't make a IOS53 just for this game, it just has 4.1 version

Go on then

I'm sure everyone is dying to know...

I was thinking something similar since the CSI game also runs on that IOS and doesn't work, or maybe the game checks the Md5 of the IOS and that explains why the cIOSCorp/cIOS wont load the game since even tho the name matches (IOS53, like the standard 002 check) because the IOS has been edited it no longer does. Maybe someone with the actual game could try running the game with cIOSCorp installed.

I know you'll point me at the first page, but how can a normal softmod user without a modchip play the first few minutes like everyone else? With Neogamma I get a green screen for a couple seconds then a reboot of my Wii.
