Flojomojo Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 "CONSOLE ONLY AS SHOWN. NO CONTROLLER or WIRES INCLUDED." And it's broken, too. What a deal! Well, I guess the cute red case could be good for something. Can you softmod the Red Wii to run homebrew from SD card? I mean, assuming you had the cables and controllers and ...oh, never mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 I wonder if it's possible to fill up the Red Wii internal ram with game disc saves. Every known exploit for original Wii relied on either the web browser or a backdoor SD card exploit. Perhaps a new exploit could potentially rely on the USB port, either by injecting data through it or utilizing a disc software that can directly access the USB port. I have no idea what the USB ports in the back of the Red Wii are used for, if anything. Well Guitar Hero, rock band, and Wii Sing use it for the usb microphone and a few other accessories that are plugged instead of bluetooth. The dancepad games used the gamecube port and aren't compatible with post-2010 wiis. Guitar Hero and Garage Band utilised the BT Wiimotes. An exploit would have to rely on a disc game that specifically communicates with the usb port or the Bluetooth connection to the Wiimote in such a way that it reads data from them. The data would have to be injected such that it overwrites executable code. It is plausible that a game that reads a sizeable chunk of data streamed through the bluetooth connection could have code injected to execute a file on a usb drive. However this would require completely spoofing the BT stream to the wiimote and peripheral connection on games that connect to wireless peripherals. Once a homebrew channel loader can be installed from the USB drive, it can read data from the USB instead of the SD card. However no concrete evidence exists of anyone installing any homebrew channel content on a red Wii mini, even with advanced hacking methods such as soldering in missing hardware to the mainboard. Very few users are capable of manipulating the flash chips on a low level, doubly so that they are internally encrypted. Noone has broken the encryption method on discs, once the "unlicensed game cube discs" were patched in the os, barring non-exact copies of factory pressed discs, with or without a cd drive mod chip. No mod chip exists to my knowlege for the Wii mini, and no non-pirate disc content works with wiis beyond a certain firmware revision, which includes the wii mini. In lieu of concrete evidence that Wii mini is hackable, I believe a yet undiscovered exploit may be possible, but very little progress is being made to hack the wii mini when the standard older models with the sd cards are more cheaply and readily accessible. It does not change the fact however, that the ebay description is total 100% bunk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 You can use infectious on the mini red wii to rewrite the nand. Total pain in the as though. That or hard mod with a chip but then you only get backups not homebrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
