GeckoOS 1.07a With Rebooter Released

[Nuke]

New version update v1.07a:

Download Link:

http://www.usbgecko.com/files/Gecko107a.zip

Added:

1. Added a new No Copy Flag code patch, now removes all types of save game to SD copy protection, so now works with games such as GH3 and Virtual console game saves with save states etc. (Patch by Kenobi & Brkirch)
2. Can move DVD channel! (Patch by Pizzaboy)

Whats New:

1. USB Gecko Rebooter with Master hook!
2. Universal System Menu rebooter options!

What is Rebooter?

This is pure USB Gecko awesomeness, What this does is reboots the console but with a 'Master Hook' enabled. Which means you can use WiiRD just about anywhere, including the system menu itself for remote debugging, downloading, testing patches or in any games.

If you are a cheat code hacker, master hook will stay alive when your game is loaded so you can remote debug any game that wasn't possible with GeckoOS normal loader. We have even created a silent loader which will also boot all Multi DOL games like Red Steal and house of the dead 2/3 which was not possible before!.

Exta Rebooter Options: (Can be used even if no USB Gecko)

1. Boot into Recovery Diagnostics mode (Boots Nintendo Diagnostic DVD's)
2. Boot all Import Games (Wii & Gamecube) (no modchip required!) As an added bonus our patch detects the game inserted and will patch the correct TV mode. All DVD update checks will be removed when this is selected.
3. Skip Button check - Just skips the A button check.
4. No Copy flag. With this enabled, you can now copy your protected Wii save games (SSBB etc) to SD card in the system menu as you would any other save!

As an added bonus for None USB Gecko users i've added ocarina to work with rebooter. Just make sure its enabled in the 'config' menu like before

Rebooter uses progressive scan patching so will work on all regions and versions System Menu 3.2 and 3.3

Again we didn't have time to add Ocarina / WiiRD to Gamecube mode, but we know how now so expect to see this very soon.

Some Gargon:
------------

All patches, multi dol loader, rebooter and game detection / TV Mode stub is all original code written by myself (Nuke) and kenobi in pure PPC asm, the USB Gecko master hook is the same USB Gecko server used in GeckoOS, so WiiRD, Cheats etc work with rebooter without modifications.

No IOS or other NAND hacks are used in the program

For developers - Our detection code and stub is locatated at 81700000 with the server at 80001800 which will be activated when a Game is inserted and Game ID read, TV Mode is switched in this code also. The Multi DOl loader is at 80001000 and this patches the menu to keep Hooks alive when Game Dol's are reloaded, i.e main.dol is overwritten by redsteel.dol etc.

The system menu is located in memory at 0x81330000, you can dump this in WiiRD.

One final note, I noticed sometimes the patches are not fully wiped from memory even when hard reset, if this happens just eject the game and power off for a few minutes.

Disclaimer

Rebooter doesn't patch anything in the NAND, and is tested very safe. However as you have full control with USB Gecko over the system menu and have full root privileges, please only upload and poke around with the system menu if you know what you are doing. We are not responsible if you cause your console to brick.

Enjoy!

This sounds really excellent:

 

Boot all Import Games (Wii & Gamecube) (no modchip required!) As an added bonus our patch detects the game inserted and will patch the correct TV mode. All DVD update checks will be removed when this is selected.

I have to ask, will this work for Japanese Gamecube games like Mr. Driller Drill Land that check to confirm they're running on a Japanese console when they boot and won't save/load from memory card if they're not?

@Nuke:
How did you fix the date/time issue - fixed sind 1.06 - (or should I say what was wrong: Did you have to manually access the date/time and set it or something like this)? I thought it was a HBC-Bug, was it not?
Is it fixed for future games too or just specific to those mentioned?

Furthermore, is there a way to set default options for the config menu like disabling Ocarina - not that it will be active anyway as I have no cheat codes but so it would not even have to search for them...

Also: The no-copy flag change only works through Rebooter? Rebooter is really completely safe, no Flash changing and nothing? Does Rebooter even work without USB-Gecko (especially the no-copy flag change)?

So, if I'm not mistaken this will allow for VC/WiiWare hacking as well? And you now know how to implement the GameCube features? That is just pure awesome.

Hi,

you just need to set the date and time in Gecko OS using the built in libogc commands, when HBC loaded GeckoOS the time will reset to 0 so i had to reset it. Link was the one that found this info out in the add, its just one line of simple code.

You can already disable ocarina in the config menu.

Rebooter works without USB Gecko. It does not apply any code to the flash. The system menu just gets loaded to 81330000 from the NAND and we just edit the values in ram, which is why all patches are lost when the console is shut down.
