Star Mario in this room you have a pile of apple pies Level: 163 Posts: 994/9016 EXP: 56056488 Next: 431156 Since: 07-03-12 From: in a box Last post: 57 days ago Last view: 16 days ago |
Or almost. Dolphin will still require an ISO because it doesn't take Riivolution patches. We'll work on it though.
SMGExtractor is a simple program that runs on your Wii, and dumps files from your SMG1 or SMG2 disc. You can choose to dump all the disc's files, or just the minimum required to hack SMG levels. Requirements * a homebrew-enabled Wii * a SMG1 or SMG2 disc (if you don't have that, you're practicing SMG hacking illegally, and we don't support it) * a storage medium (SD card or USB drive), with a FAT filesystem and enough space to hold the files you want (count ~300MB for the minimum and ~1.5GB for all the files) How to proceed Download SMGExtractor. If you're using Homebrew Channel, just extract the apps folder to the root of your SD card (or whatever you use to load homebrews). Otherwise, find boot.dol and put it in an appropriate place. The two other files are irrelevant then. Turn your Wii on and launch SMGExtractor. Insert your disc and follow the on-screen instructions. Once the dumping process has started, find something else to do in the meantime, as the process takes long to complete. Once it's done, you can turn your Wii off and all. You'll find a SMGFiles folder at the root of your storage medium, containing all the files you chose to dump. Congratulations, you can now start hacking SMG legally. If it didn't go as expected, check out the troubleshooting section. Downloads * SMGExtractor v1.0 -- initial release Troubleshooting * When I start dumping, I get 'Failed to mount the disc' or a freeze If you're using the HBC, your version is too old. Update to the latest version. Otherwise, stop using that lame homebrew loader you're using. * When I launch SMGExtractor, I get 'DI_Init failed' Your IOSes are probably too old or something. You can update to the latest System Menu and then install HBC via LetterBomb. Source code The source code to SMGExtractor is available on Github: https://github.com/StapleButter/SMGExtractor It features an improved version of the FST library found in ftpii, which namely doesn't require a patched IOS to work. Credits * The ftpii team for their nice FST library, which saved me a lot of trouble * The Wiibrew Forums for helping me out with the Wii DVD drive APIs ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

Nice. I still prefer USBLoaderGX, but this dumps the already-extracted files in a user-friendly way. Again, great job! Status: It was really, really fun, guys - thanks for the ride!

Yes, but I'll need to make it cooler before that.
Also I figured out that you still need an ISO to run SMG on Dolphin, no matter what. Or perhaps, as I said on IRC, it is possible to make the game run with only the .dol and the data files. What resources does the game access on the disk anyway, aside from the files on its data partition? ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

Can you somehow make s conputer read a Wii disc? And would SD cards work? For Wii U, you must format a USB storage drive if you want to use it for the Wii U. If you do format the USB storage drive, it will not work on a computer. ____________________ Super Mario LOLand Thanks to kaj for helping to port my Acmlmboard 2.5 layout to Acmlmboard 2.064! |

No. Wii discs have their sectors laid out differently from standard DVDs, so no PC DVD drives are able to read them properly.
A few drives can be used to read them (at terrible speeds) via debug commands and other hacking, though. And... did you even read the first post? It says you can use a SD card or an USB storage device. ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

Posted by Mega-MarioYes, but I just ended up ignoring the thought when I wrote the post . Anyways, it is interesting that a few drives can read Wii discs somewhat. ____________________ Super Mario LOLand Thanks to kaj for helping to port my Acmlmboard 2.5 layout to Acmlmboard 2.064! |

Posted by luigiismyfavoritebro It just reads files from it, same as the Wii does when playing the game. So it doesn't "hurt" it, lol. There's no way to write to a game disc, they're read-only. ____________________ Cool Stuff: Dirbaio.net (my boring site) - The NSMB Hacking Domain - Kuribo64 - ABXD DevBoard |

All you need is riivo. You just need homebrew to install Riivolution in the first place ____________________ a |

But I followed a tutorial so you can get just Riivolution without homebrew.So do you need The Homebrew Channel for SMG custom galaxies and to load galaxies made with whitehole?And If i'm using just riivolution where do I put the files for the SMGEXTRACTOR[I know they go on my SD card but where on My SD card?]And finally what is SMG Explorer and where do I get it?I used SMASH STACK to install Riivolution what[as in exploit] do I use to get the SMGEXTRACTOR on my wii? |
