[Zeus]

Thanks to advancements in the Wii homebrew scene, DesktopMan has posted Tetris to the Wii which can be run in native Wii mode. This makes it the second native Wii homebrew game to be released.

nice. Id be more impressed if it used the wiimote though..

[showstopper]

Can this be classed as Wii homebrew if it is still running .dol files and using the gamecube controls?

[slioslai]

Yes it is considered wii homebrew. -basically The dol file is running in an expanded gamecube mode environment. Theres no cpu/memoy caps that keep the system locked to to gamecube mode Meaning if needed the application has full access to the wiis extra memory processor power.

Does this mean that there will be a neopets wii game soon?

Great game, has won on gamefaqs as good game of ever, two months ago.

If the twilight exploit is a real wii hack,why the hell do you still need a gekko card to load the elf files,whit the 1 MB mark. Is it just a wii way to execute gamecube homebrew?Something smells fishy here,why can't you load this from your wii sd card slot??

The hack is real. I have run it and several others have. TeamTwiizers simply has not yet had enough reverse engineering time to determine the registers for accessing the internal SD slot and create stable code libraries for accessing it. Everyone who was into GC dev and Wii dev already has the SD Gecko, and a lot of modchip owners have one too (for making backups). I'm glad they released it now instead of later.

Well okay,but couldn't you do just a reload from the save to like data1.bin? or are the limits to small??then you would'n need to know how to acces,if you not clean all the code,as it looks for now in the movie from the hack.

Also it would help if they would give the key tough.

how do you load a file to the sd card at the 2048 mark using windows cant seem to find anywhere how to do it. if you cant this hack is going to be a pain as im a windows user.this is the only way to get the elf to load

[slioslai]

There running ported gamecube homebrew in wiimode. No they dont have to use geko sd loader but they do if they dont program the app to use wiis sd card slot. Apparently thats the case here. No real hard wii programming has been done.

This is just very simple proof of concept.

Thats what I am looking for too.... hmm

Might have to boot up slax just to make this card.

I used this in windows:

http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite/dd-old.htm

my command line was:

dd-0.4beta1.exe if=tetris.elf of=e: bs=512 seek=2048


replace e: with the letter of your SD card and make sure the path is correct to your elf file. Hope that helps. I removed my second partition with suse and wanted a quicker fix than booting a live CD/DVD. This worked for me hope it helps anyone else.

Get ready for wii controlled homebrew people!
