DLSS Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 New app unscrambles Wii games into ISOs We just received a tip about a new Windows GNU app today called the “GOD/WOD unscrambler†which allegedly reads raw data from the Wii disks and dumps ISO files to your PC for later mischevious use. Since there is neither a Wii emulator or a mod chip for the Wii, it is impossible to verify if the output is an elaborate ploy to drop a binary middle finger on your C: drive, but the Chilean engineering student Victor Muñoz is pretty damn proud of his software. He’s created very detailed readme files, released the source on GNU. He compares the process to DVD ripping and has an unassuming little download link on his site. Do you feel a disturbance in the force, Reggie? He should, because this kid apparently also has the balls of Kong. He blogged on it’s simplicity: Command-line example: unscrambler.exe RZDE01.WOD “Twilight Princess.ISO†GOD/WOD unscrambler 0.4 (xt5@ingenieria-inversa.cl) This program is distributed under GPL license, see the LICENSE file for more info. caching seed 0100 … caching seed 0700 image successfully unscrambled. time elapsed: 481.00 seconds. To be fair, what he’s done isn’t full blown piracy. It’s just accessory to the invevitable torrent Festivus … aka SUCKS 2BU glimpse of the future. Whatever your ethical take on it may be, it’s obviously not for making brownies. We just hope he’s smart enough to shred his Sony pay stubs when the non-existant Chilean anti-piracy task force comes a-knockin’. Oh no! But Niero, why must you suggest Sony has anything to do with this? I’m kidding, but he’s also apparently coded a Microsoft Xbox security code dumper. Someone buy this kid a PlayStation! Check out the Chile national anthem below.

Darren Kitchen Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 has anyone tested this? paul was working on some wii hacks but he said that every time he put a wii disc in a windows machine it would crash explorer. i'll try it in a VM later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 regardless of what is on the disk, dd shouldn't have any trouble getting the bits off it (assuming is an actual DVD) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaveMan Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 comments = ftw about dumping a raw image: a normal ODD reject the user data (PSN>0×2FFFF) beacuse the EDC check fails, If you are able to disable EDC check in the firmware, you are set. the other way is to use mastering equipment. maybe there is a DVD model from some vendor that let you setting someting (with debug cmds maybe) to disable temporary EDC or something, but anyway reading such image need that you reverse a firm. a stock ODD won’t do the work :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chungek Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 would anyone happen to have any guesstimate when wii games might be burnable to dvd and playable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ABC Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 don't know .. but at lease you wont need a blu-ray drive as you will need for pirating PS3 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
