Problems with hackless wii users for wiimm's custom server connection

[TLG]

Hello everyone. In this thread I'd like to discuss the issues with trying to use Wiimmfi without having to use homebrew. The main issue, that I'd like to get right into, is that the Wimmfi patch does not allow other codes, not even customized music. What Diddy Kong and I want to do is use Riivo as a method to load the patch for hackless users. But, riivo seems to work with every game except Brawl when it comes to the main.dol patch. It fails every time, and a much needed updated is necessary to fix this problem. The only way to rectify this type of problem is to contact the riivo team for an update on their software... However, no updates have been made since last year in December. All of the netcode is in main.dol.

Actually riivolution can load main.dol if you use the normal patching method which can be found here http://rvlution.net/riivolution/images/a/ac/SSBBtemplate.xml instead of using riivo for gecko users. Basically every file you want to replace goes to the ssbb folder and files have to be named exactly like they are in the disk.

Can't you just write a code to patch these things? I'm more than sure it's loaded in memory.

remember a custom server hack on the vault? yah that XML has the key to it, however, when you load it (after correcting my typo)


instead of the strap screen (this test was performed on BOTH a wii and WIIU with versions 1.04 and 1.06 with BRAND NEW condition wiis  and brawl discs BOTH returned instead of a strap screen, thIS appears instead and the game freezes,


we are loading a file that you fools have never attempted before, with an ISO inject, we were successsfu;, but riivo is our roadblock.  we are trying to hackless wii the new servers WITH mods allowed

tried that too, what we got was a 200 line GCT and error code 20110, WFC for this software has been discontinued, this means the gecko method was a failure and NOT POSSIBLE and requiring people to use some unfamiliar code and some complicated bypass thing that we seem to never include to make things eaiser and simpler this meant it failed and the game was still trying to connect to gs.nintendowifi.net instead of wiimmfi.de

sorry, but as far as online players go we best keep pushing, or ditch brawl altogether andgo to smash 4 AND modless (with a 6 moth gap of no smashing, what do you have to say about that?

:kirby: Well let me take a crack at writing a code...

It seems that there are multiple references to the old WFC
> gpcm.gs.nintendowifi.net
> gpsp.gs.nintendowifi.net
> gamestats.gs.nintendowifi.net
> gamestats2.gs.nintendowifi.net
> %s.available.gs.nintendowifi.net [ Unsure what %s does. I think it's where the friend code goes. ]

> %s.gamestats.gs.nintendowifi.net
> %s.gamestats2.gs.nintendowifi.net
> %s.ms%d.gs.nintendowifi.net [ Now a %d??? ]

Should all instances of 'gs.nintendowifi.net' be replaced by 'wiimmfi.de', leaving the prefixes, or replace all the strings, prefixes and all?
e~ I missed a couple:
> https://naswii.test.nintendowifi.net/ac
> https://naswii.nintendowifi.net/ac
> https://naswii.dev.nintendowifi.net/ac
[ The above three appear twice, except the second time the ending is /pr, not /ac. ]

WAYY more than that
its about double or 2.5x more URLs than that and also HTTPS:// replaced with just HTTP://
sir

and the friendcode theory i believe you are right:
below was my attempt at the code, the right half are the new addresses, the left colum are where in the RAM dump they are,  i may have missed some and i dont know how to write codes at all, but I knew basically what it possibly does based on knowledge of using the dump to make a code DEACTIVATOR

thoug try to comompress my code to as few lines as possible, our goal here is to simplify and make a hackless method to the new server AND mods (if possible, add support for playing TWO BRSTMs at once (which is how  my item music hack achieves the impossible)

BEFORE CLICKING THE SPOILER BELOW, please note, that I encourage using file replacesments where possible (over using codes as the easy way out), and for a sort of riivolution to return to brawl hacking as my latest descoveries in the hacking world are currently not gecko compliant (even if USB loader is used)

below is a copy of the patched DOL from my Smash Bros. LAWL pack:

[DarkPikachu]

does wiimm know about this??

keep in mind he doesn't pay attention to Brawl... (let alone this forum)
he told me himself he has no interest in it :/

but in any case please spread the news plox. :)

I've said too much already to wiimm to notify him about this XD
(not sure if he even gives 2 craps about me anymore) lol

[Doq]

Sooooo....... I made a working gecko code, and it's only FPC length (comparison: this code is 125 lines, the FPC is 115), on account of using 06 codetype instead of 04.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Lemme know how it works out for y'all.

unless you are contributing to the work, please stay out of this TCLL, we already established on skype that the noobs up there arent gonig to aid us, we need to do this on our own

I will try it out, btw, I think we should encourage the PMBR to make their DOL patch from their app and not rely on the code we just made they use too many codes as it is :P

I have tested it and the code did not work, its still connecting to nintendo WFC not wiimmfi

[TLG]

Still much work that needs to be done

It seemed to work for me. Maybe it's not compatible with U's, just regular Wiis. I tested it on my Wii with no other codes with Gecko OS using the AXNextFrame hooktype (I was too lazy to change it back beforehand.)
Maybe AXNextFrame is the Key to make it work.

well im using riivolution on wiiU not gecko OS as I have mods I want to use that are not gecko compliant too, like i said gecko methods also need to support playing two brstms at once as a certain mod is peaking intereast in people, and they are going to want this code and a way to load that mod without trouble

[Dantarion]

Ill look into this.

[Diddy Kong]

Ill look into this.

when you look into this, may I ask that for the PM loader that you try to have a dol patch performed on a file basis by the PM app if possible to reduce your team's code ussage

I appriciate your attention to this wifi solution matter, if you get an improved code, please credit me and doqtor kirby,, I have been looking into the brawl side of patches since the custom servers were launched last month, if you need live chat, you can summon me to the PM chat by pming me on the IRC server, or kcmm's chat by mentioning my name to ping me

I am still aiming for riivo to still be usable here because I have been working on a mod nobody has been able to do and the FPC breaks the music when my work goes off

Riivo may or may not be used by everyone ever again, because there are new and rising innovations for both Gecko load methods and Riivo load methods.

That is, until there is an official way to run BrawlEx on Riivo.
