The News and Forecast channels download data packages from Nintendo servers via plain http connection.
Some examples:
http://weather.wapp.wii.com/1/076/short.bin http://weather.wapp.wii.com/1/076/forecast.bin http://news.wapp.wii.com/1/076/news.bin.08
Nowadays, it seems the news file has moved:
http://news.wapp.wii.com/v2/1/076/news.bin.00
...
http://news.wapp.wii.com/v2/1/076/news.bin.23
http://news.wapp.wii.com/ displays a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Test Page
File structure:
$0000 - $003F: padding (00) $0040 - $013F: rsa encrypted sha-1 signature of rest of the file $0140 - $0143: header $0144 - .....: compressed data
The compression is very simple:
- Read one byte
- For each bit of the byte, msb-to-lsb,
- if 0, copy one byte to the output
- if 1, read 16 bits msb first in v, copy n bytes at offset m from the end of the output, n=3+(v>>12), m=v & fff
Quick and very dirty C code:
i = 0x144;
j = 0;
while(i < size) {
int k;
int v = data[i++];
for(k=0; k<8; k++)
if(!(v & (1 << (7-k)))) {
result_data[j++] = data[i++];
} else {
int vv = (data[i] << 8) | data[i+1];
int nb = 3+(vv >> 12);
int off = (vv & 0xfff);
int l;
i+=2;
for(l=0; l<nb; l++) {
result_data[j] = result_data[j-off-1];
j++;
}
}
}
