Wii recovery Dongle and other UpdatesBeen a long time since the last post on the Wii scene, mostly because I am too lazy to type. However, this long a time has brought about a lot of things on the scene. The most important of them being the recent recovery dongle for the Wii.

Before you get too excited, let me just say that it is not really ‘out’ right now. From what I understood from marcan’s post (one of the lead developers on the homebrew, hacking the Wii scene, like Bushing) is that it’s still in it’s preliminary stages and that the release plans for the dongle as such are not there. So it’s still a little waiting before things get handy. Nonetheless, it’s a really nice update for people who bricked their Wiis. There are three cases of bricked Wiis that can be recovered, one of which includes the famous white screen brick. When the dongle is out, it will be as simple as (as per my understanding) plug in the dongle, boot the Wii, pop in a disc with firmware update and your Wii is back!

Moving on to the other things, the next most important thing was the development of the DVDX library. With this the much awaited DVD playback is now available on the Wii! Thanks to the guys over at hackmii, this helps developers read DVDs making homebrew softwares. A version of mplayer for the Wii is already out which supports the DVD playback. Also supported by the updated mplayer is USB playback, which means you can now play your favourite media on the Wii using a USB drive / stick! So much for the lack of media capabilities built-in on the Wii !!

Next on scene is the awesome menuloader. This is an application released by marcan (the same guy as above) which loads a patched version of the system menu (read custom firmware) withouth making any changes permanent. This is just too awesome given the fact that installing custom firmwares (permanently) can lead to a bricked Wii. With this, if the custom firmware doesn’t work out, you just reboot and the Wii is back in it’s original form! Though, the uses for this are now limited, given the fact that the most required features of custom firmwares are already out in homebrew software form. The usage of this is rather simple. Install it in the homebrew channel, select the ‘patches’ via this and it’s all set. Couldn’t have been more easier than this!

One of the most interesting post apps released on the homebrew scene is the AnyRegion changer. This lets your change the region of your Wii (permanently). After you change your region, you have to install a firmware of the same region. However, this is rather risky as you can brick your Wii rather easily. But if you bought a Wii when it was available somewhere and it wasn’t of your region, then this app can come in rather handy. Change the region of the Wii to yours, and you’re all set to go!

Also released was this app by Waninkoko, the custom IOS DVD dumper. With this custom firmware, you can dump your DVD to an SD card so that you can keep a backup in case your original DVD goes bad. Much easier than having to download the whole DVD from internet just for the sake of backup.

On the modding scene, new Wiis came out with D2E chpsets (D2C, D2C2 and now these, phew, nintendo sure doesn’t give up!). And as usual, all the major modchips released their versions of D2E compliant chips. D2pro and Wasabi are the two chips which are out there and working with these latest boards.

Also released was this app called Title uninstaller. Unlike the Wad uninstaller released a while back, this does not require you to have the original Wad files to uninstall the Titles installed on the Wii. Much useful incase you installed some title and don’t know which Wad file was used for it.

And this pretty much sums up all the important stuff having happened on the Wii scene (from my point of view anyways). Happy Wiing!
