Title: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: Link on December 26, 2008, 09:24:49 AM Okay, I am getting kinda sick about it!
I have got quite a few messages like "I got USB Gecko how do I make codes" or "I got USB Gecko how do I use it" or even worse: "I need 100 ft USB cable because my Wii is so far away". So general things:
So think about it when you're getting a USB Gecko.. stocks are running low..and it would hurt to see people buying it having no real idea that hacking is indeed tricky while others who'd really have use for it can't get theirs! Hacking is not like "Connect USB Gecko to become invincible" - you need some basic understanding what's going on there.. in Sonic games you'd just need to set the amount of rings.. in Mario Galaxy you'll obviosly see the power level.. for Zelda.. it's a little trickier but still works (each heart is worth 4 in the memory). Trying out whether you get that idea is easily possible on the PC. It really is: it doesn't cost you money and if you feel it's funny. Great!

Title: Re: USB Gecko buying advices Post by: Romaap on December 26, 2008, 10:32:46 AM Good post Link, that will hopefully stop those questions.
did you make this topic just cause i asked that question? im sorry! i didnt think you'd get mad... :( or does my question have to deal with this at all? No, its not just you, its more people asking the same questions over and over.Title: Re: USB Gecko buying advices Post by: Austin on December 26, 2008, 10:39:39 AM well my question was if he knew any place that sold usb geckos that were reasonably priced. then he created this so, i was confused
Title: Re: USB Gecko buying advices Post by: matt123337 on December 26, 2008, 03:14:19 PM you can also hack online games with CE and AM like adventure quest and dragonfable! thats how I learde (I was 10 at the time so...)
Title: Re: USB Gecko buying advices Post by: ricky23i on December 26, 2008, 04:59:22 PM you can also hack online games with CE and AM like adventure quest and dragonfable! thats how I learde (I was 10 at the time so...) or you can use it on a PSX game, also use hasted ds to make ds codes, for practice Title: Re: USB Gecko buying advices Post by: matt123337 on December 26, 2008, 05:11:19 PM true.
Title: Re: USB Gecko buying advices Post by: Garonne on December 26, 2008, 05:46:33 PM I think it might also be useful to say that USB Gecko is not like Acton Replay for GameCube or DS.
You don't simply plug USB Gecko into the Wii and run your game and are invincible. USB Gecko is more like ArtMoney or CheatEngine on PC (yes, I know, you already said that) not like a ready made trainer for a whole lot of games. Action Replay is a ready made Trainer (more or less), USB Gecko definitely is not. USB Gecko is quite some work to get it running... (This is not, because of USB Gecko anyway, it's because the Wii is so damn locked up and it's so difficult to get inside) Short put: USB Gecko is no plug and play cheating device. Title: Re: USB Gecko buying advices Post by: matt123337 on December 26, 2008, 05:56:48 PM I think it might also be useful to say that USB Gecko is not like Acton Replay for GameCube or DS. that hasw been said many times.You don't simply plug USB Gecko into the Wii and run your game and are invincible.

Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: Link on December 26, 2008, 06:19:43 PM Sorry, I was at relatives.. @Austin: no this topic was not aimed at you, I just got quite a few messages by 0-posters about how to use the USB Gecko as they got it for Christmas or some time before and have just NO IDEA what to do with it..
@ricky23i and matt123337: Sure, every form of hacking knowledge is okay, I just propsed PC hacking as it is a free entry.. if you find a way into hacking there.. then go for it. And about that "has been said many times" - if people would actually read it they wouldn't ask how to use it! Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not?

Post by: Austin on December 26, 2008, 06:29:49 PM thats the problem :P people wanna hack so they buy a usb gecko. dont know how to use it, search "usb gecko" at google find this forum make an account and pm you. they no ur the admin cause it says so at usbgecko.com so then you get spammed the same question over and over

Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: Link on December 26, 2008, 06:36:45 PM It should've come in such a box:

last night i got a wii messege from a wii friend asking if i knew anything about usb gecko. i told him "i know a good bit. why? are you gettin one?" he said,"no but im planning on it. not sure though -_-" i said,"ok well if you decide to get one then find out you dont like it send it to me ill make good use of it" "what?! you dont have one?!" "no... you thought i did?" "of course i did! if you dont have one then how do you hack shit??" then i told him about gecko OS, explained the differences told him what he needed to have to get it and all that stuff. now im waiting on a reply to see if he wants gecko OS :P lol its amazing what people think! i just saved a usb gecko from being bought by someone who has no use for it! XD Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: Nuke on December 27, 2008, 06:19:59 PM Its always shipped from us with giftbox, cd-rom, 1.5m usb cable, inner tray which holds the usb gecko device. The CD rom does have the drivers for all modern windows versions and an install guide how to install the drivers. On the website there is a slightly updated windows driver, but this doesn't affect anything at all, the cd rom version is fine.
There isn't a manual, but there are some guides on the website a faq, a couple of basic hacking guides and a really great video that fox made which is a hands on how he hacks mario galaxy which is a good place to start if you have some interest in hacking games or code making. Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: Nuke on December 27, 2008, 07:18:02 PM you cant 'hack shit' i.e remote debug / hack with out one, as its the only way to have remote functionality. Gecko OS allows you to use SD cheats, in the same way as ocarina as there the same engine. I like to think there is a difference of hacking and using cheats.
lol! last night i got a wii messege from a wii friend asking if i knew anything about usb gecko. i told him "i know a good bit. why? are you gettin one?" he said,"no but im planning on it. not sure though -_-" i said,"ok well if you decide to get one then find out you dont like it send it to me ill make good use of it" "what?! you dont have one?!"

Post by: Austin on December 27, 2008, 07:21:45 PM true i only said it the way he told me. no one really knows the difference they only think that hacking and hacker means that you cheat.i have no usb gecko i use gecko OS and yet everybody on my brawl list thinks ima hacker. :P ppl r funny!
Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: REDSOXROX on December 29, 2008, 10:41:12 PM Nice! :) Hopefully people will look at this...
Hehe, I actually used CE for a while before I got my USB Gecko; so I was sure I could use it! Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: Link on January 01, 2009, 09:41:37 AM yes, as long as people have some knowledge.. it just hurts to hear that people buy it and then recognize "Oh code searching is nothing for me".. and when I recommend people to try it on their PC I hear "Pc gaming sucks".. and well.. if people are that cooperative, then I can't help - I do understand if people prefer console games over PC games (I do play both) however, a simple plain freeware game is 100% sufficient.. if you understand Cheat Engine... you'll understand WiiRd

It's very detail, yet noob-friendly! Quote WiiRd Hacking Tutorial Learn to hack the Nintendo Wii using WiiRd. No previous hacking experience needed and to be fair, theyre right, i made my own codes with these guides, but the thing is, these codes are already made, people made em already, as for the super codes, i reckon i can make super codes coz i managed to do it with the NTSC-U version of brawl and now that the breakpoints and values etc. have been ported to the PAL version i THINK that i can soon start making super codes whenever i have the time to. also some people want usb gecko for chating in gc games like myself, i just need to wait for gecko 2.0 brawl is probably the only game (i know of) with unpredictable codes, which is why I THINK there arent guides for each and every single kinds of codes, e.g theres texture hacks, super codes, camera hacks, amazing codes. etc. etc. and come on lets face it, the codes for mario galaxy are great but predictable,in other words you can make a guide for mario galaxy hacking whih owuld help you mke codes for lots of other codes (btwim not saying the codes for mario galaxy suk, im saying that the game just isnt made for codes more than infinite starbits infinite this and that.) if you understand what i mean. i have a usb gecko and belive it or not, as nooby as i am, ive made quite a few codes, but then go to see if theyre already made and they always are. (well for me) i gues ill have to make super codes for PAL brawl asap. hope i didnt bore you and i hope you understand my point. Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not?

Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: Jumpi95 on January 03, 2009, 04:55:12 PM Ok, I have hacked computer games and actualy created different hacks no1 has ever seen before. But=/ Its nothing like Brawl. I am still confused 100%
Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: Link on January 03, 2009, 05:36:09 PM Brawl certainly has protections and obfuscinated memory you should try another game.
Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: DemonParasite on January 03, 2009, 06:12:03 PM I registered here recently, after reading this post. I've decided to go buy a USB Gecko, as I've been looking into guides, tutorials, and such about it. I remember using Cheat Engine awhile back, to hack those stupid flash games like Stick Arena. Heh, that was back when people hacked SA by themselves, instead of downloading a trainer. Anyway, thanks for this, I decided to buy one after reading this! Heh, I also had to buy 30 ft. of extension cables, as my computer is in the same room, but ~20 feet away, and I don't want it being stretched in the air, or tripping over it.
Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: hetoan2 on January 03, 2009, 06:17:55 PM 30feet holy crap.
at least you didn't buy a laptop or an extra TV for it... heh I bought a 42" flat screen to put next to my computer so i wouldn't have to use my laptop. Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: DemonParasite on January 03, 2009, 06:20:56 PM They were dirt cheap on Amazon. The cord was free(1 cent), I just paid 5 dollars for shipping. Sadly, the cord will probably arrive a lot later than the Gecko. How long does it normally take to receive shipments from the GP2X store?
Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: Romaap on January 03, 2009, 06:25:02 PM I had mine in less than one week if I remember correctly.
Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: DemonParasite on January 03, 2009, 07:12:15 PM According to Amazon, I should get my cords by the 9th. Hopefully they arrive at about the same time...

I received my gecko in about 3 days after placing the order. Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: DemonParasite on January 03, 2009, 10:37:22 PM Heh, that's probably going to frustrate me, getting the extension cords I need a couple days later.
Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: hetoan2 on January 03, 2009, 10:44:06 PM i saw some 10ft USB extension cords for 4.99 each at RadioShack today... but I'm not sure if it was on sale...
I would have payed tax even to save time on the shipping. Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: DemonParasite on January 03, 2009, 11:01:28 PM I probably would have done that, I just didn't really want to go out hunting stores for cords. I also wanted to save money.

Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: Jumpi95 on January 05, 2009, 02:28:50 AM XD Your welcome. I should realy use this post as a question...
So there is a video on youtube showing how easy it is to hack a # value. but thats just it. Brawl has Action. How do I change a action(Such as a player) to a #? The codes you did are a great example of a # one. Great codes though. Havent tried them yet :P Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: hetoan2 on January 05, 2009, 02:32:35 AM in WiiRD there is an Unknown value search. I use it for almost everything, even if it does display numbers (not unless it's something like money).
Then you just do different than last value searches until you get one or two values, poke until you see your results. BTW Test: ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD! To express glory to the hypnotoad now just type "@ hypno" without space Also type hypno flash to FORCE other's love for the hypnotoad. as long as they click the spoiler tag http://www.j0g.com/14-Futurama-All-Hail-HypnoToad-flash-loop.swf Also type hypno flash to FORCE other's love for the hypnotoad. as long as they click the spoiler tag Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not?

Hm, cool, ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD! Unknown searches always take along time though, I try known value search if there's any hint to the number, also like counting backwards [Star Fox 64 Timer Problem caution] Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not?

Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: Link on January 07, 2009, 04:15:30 PM There isn't any known case where a Wii gamer has been banned for modifications.. Microsoft tends to ban users who flashed their DVD drives for their X360 but it is not yet known Nintendo banned anyone. All error messages or related so far were temporary! Meaning: reconnect some time later and it works!

Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: ssbbdude57 on January 07, 2009, 05:51:03 PM why only slot B?
Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: Jassim on January 07, 2009, 06:14:29 PM probably because most people use slot A for gamecube memory cards and like to keep it that way.
Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: DemonParasite on January 07, 2009, 08:50:30 PM Because it works on Gamecubes also, most games read from slot A first, then slot B. If slot B was a Gecko, it wouldn't be able to hold data, and you wouldn't be able to load/save. You'd have to take out the gecko, put in your memory card, load, take it out, put in the Gecko, and do it again when you want to save.

Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: Nuke on January 15, 2009, 02:23:21 AM It can use Slot A too, the EXI bus which the ports use has a different device ID so to speak, so if you change this device ID to slot A it will work.
I can make a config option for which slot to use in Gecko 2.0, what do you think? The reason for Slot B, is SD Load used Slot A back in the GC times. let me know about the A, B thing Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not?

Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: hetoan2 on February 12, 2009, 11:23:24 AM well, some games have hooking issues.
CoD3 had hooking issues so 5 might also have them... If you're using a backup that could be why, but we don't do support for pirates. Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: Romaap on February 12, 2009, 01:27:36 PM You have to change the hooktype to wiipad

anyway , what ssbbdude said, be more appreciative when hackers make codes making a code isnt as simple as plug in usbgecko to get every single code available for this game Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: Jumpi95 on February 16, 2009, 07:53:09 PM >_< I know that. Its just that the Ammo in it seemed alot easyer to hack(since it was exact) Then other games so I wanted to try it out.

Post by: Link on May 18, 2009, 09:15:48 AM Well, to make it sort..
performing USB Gecko operation using a Wi-Fi protocol would be possible.. however, let me point out the obstacles: -the internal Wi-Fi would be hard to use.. it wouldn't work in Gamecube mode and the Wi-Fi stack is huge.. fitting that in our tiny 4 KB code handler.. no way! Even GCNrd for Gamecube which used the broadband adapter required 32 KB of memory for its LAN handler -it wouldn't work if the game uses Wi-Fi -additionally: all Wii games reset Wi-Fi upon boot (most likely some Nintendo SDK stuff), a few even completely disable it! -Long USB cables work.. several devices dislike long USB cables, I tested the USB Gecko with 10 metres (30 feet) it is working fine.. other devices like for example a FlatMii do not work you'd need repeater. -Wireless USB Repeaters exist and they should work.. however they are horribly expensive! Other options like: USB cross-over.. Ethernet.. all possible but both USB and Ethernet require big protocol stacks while the USB Gecko is simply a high speed serial port where you can directly address the output pins. We simply do not want the code handler to be larger, we're absolutely happy that we're having a code handler which is sitting in a memory area so far NO GAME uses. Which is a great advantage over the old GCNrd (not that I criticise GCNrd, GCNrd was an absolutely perfectly designed, great application) which had to reside in the memory area 817F8000 to 81800000 and sometimes interfered with the game's file list or similar things! Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: corgis4me123 on August 12, 2009, 07:14:03 PM Okay....I have a question...and I know I am probably not even posting this in the right place but...here I go....
I am totally new to hacking...I have not even really hacked before....on ACCF all I really have is the LiteSaber...I can't walk on the water or anything... I need someone to explain the homebrew channel or something like it so I can subscribe to it on the Wii...and tell me how to use it....would someone on here PLEASE be able to do that...I want to hack sooooo badly.... Thank you! -Bethany Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: hetoan2 on August 12, 2009, 08:10:19 PM @Bethany, no I don't think a USBgecko is quite right for you...
on the other hand you might want to check out some youtube videos. There are ones out there even specifically for using codes on ACCF :o but on youtube you can find out how to get homebrew channel too. It truly is a valuable resource.... that and google. I think you might be able to find both guides in the video section on this forum. Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: Erica on August 28, 2009, 07:04:50 AM I Have someone willing to sell me their unopened USB gecko because they got it as a gift but never really wanted it so what I was wondering was... Can this still be fully taken advantage of on Wii systems updated to 4.1 or was it really only meant for the older versions?
Would I still be able to use it for EVERYTHING it's capeable of or will some functions be useless on 4.1? I'm also using a newer PC with WinXP Pro and my Wii has HB, Gecko OS, etc.... Thanks in advance for response ;) Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not?

Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: arnaudh on January 05, 2010, 01:00:49 AM Hello,
I just received my usb gecko today. Wiird is an amazing tools and I really want to thanks all the people who did that amazing job. I tried to find a post who really give some technical tips on how to create code. Maybe I didn't look enought. I click on the thread how do i create code , thinking that i would have some answers. He tooks me 10 minutes to find adresses : Ghost Squad (EU) RGSP8P , score mission 1 is located at : 805180D0 whatever the value you put the max value will be : 05F5E0FF if you score one more. Ghost Squad (EU) RGSP8P , rapid fire ammo located at : 925D8D84. Seems that the value are 32bits encoded so having 4294967296 bullets instead of 100 is not that bad. But i think that i need some basic powerpc asm knowledge in order to prevent the value to be decremented instead. I am using usb loader gx, and created a txt code, using usb loader gx made a gct, launched with ocarina got a black screen, curently i only got an eee 701 wich is good for wiird , but not really to surf so maybe i have missed something. Your point is valid but with a link for newbie would be better, once i got the first trainer working i will be happy to post an how to. You suggest to start with PC and that's what I don't really get : why is Wii not a good platform to start to do trainer ? I still don't have something working, it's late will probably try to continue tomorow after work, but with ocarina embeded in loaders and launchers it seems for me that it's the opposite , Wii is a good platform to start , i probably missed something ?

Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not? Post by: Bully@Wiiplaza on August 31, 2011, 05:24:46 PM important facts are...
- how much experience do you have with codes/programming? - how hard are you going to work to improve your hacking skills? The beginning is the hardest part. Once you reached a decent level, you´ll be able to create most codes you´d like to do. (took about ~ 1 -1,5 years for me without pre-knowledges except for putting values into codes) I was probably slow, though... --- BTW. 100th reply and 1000. post ;D Title: Re: Should I get a USB Gecko or not?
