softmod idea?

[pizzaluvr]

i came up with this when i accidentally ejected the disc w/o exiting out of game

i found out that if you are on say, the main menu of wii sports, and you eject it, you can still use it, you just can't click on anything that involves loading from the disc, this gave me an idea

what if you ejected the Wii sports disc, and put in another disc with the exact same hierarchy(sp?) as the wii sports disc, and just have different files for the thing you load, such as a homebrew game etc.

because your word usage such as "hierarchy" makes no sense in the context it is used.

 

[pizzaluvr]

yes it does, the hierarchy of folders would be (for instance)

wiichat forums>wii chat

that's a hierarchy, in that context

Yes, I am well aware of what heirarchy means, you know, seeing as how I am a network administrator, and work with eDirectory and Active Directory, that is all based on a heirarchical structure.

My point was, that makes no sense, because the menu for the game stays because it is being held in cache. Has nothing to do with folders.

 

[pizzaluvr]

i know that, but i was simplifying it...

anyways do you think it would work, are their any wholes in it? im sure they have some kind off disc verification, but that doesn't seem to hard to overcome

I'm not sure exactly how Wii discs are written. I know gamecube games were written in reverse, making it impossible to copy. But I have no idea if they do the same thing with Wii games.

If there will be homebrew games it would be through USB most likely.

:mad2: Because this is retarded.

If you're running a program an eject the disk, sometimes the program will still run as data is stored in the cache. Now when you click on a link the disc will need to be read - as the links will be different (noone will use the same code) it won't work.
