Changes

I noticed there is currently no information on this page about how the DVD method for installation is performed. Can somebody who is familiar add that? [[User:Hallowizer|Hallowizer]] ([[User talk:Hallowizer|talk]]) 06:39, 14 October 2020 (CEST)

:@[[User:Hallowizer|Hallowizer]]: It looks like the Homebrew Channel was previously provided as a burnable disc image (it can be seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20080526200123/http://hbc.hackmii.com/download/ in an archived page] but the download links don't work (and I couldn't find any working versions at [https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://hbc.hackmii.com/dist/* this] or [https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://hbc.hackmii.com/get.php* this] or on the live site)).  It's presumably based on [https://hackmii.com/2008/08/open-source-apploader-iso-template/ this template] (which still is live), which looks like a [[signing bug|fakesigned]] disc image that could be modified to launch something else.  That would explain why it doesn't work with [[System Menu 3.3]], and a drivechip would be required for a burned disc image to work.  I don't think it's something that would be feasible to perform nowadays. --[[User:Pokechu22|Pokechu22]] ([[User talk:Pokechu22|talk]]) 21:47, 3 November 2020 (CET)

(Addendum: it looks like the relevant tools for creating such an ISO are found in the github repo (e.g. [https://github.com/fail0verflow/hbc/blob/master/pywii/pywii-tools/injectdol.py injectdol.py])) --[[User:Pokechu22|Pokechu22]] ([[User talk:Pokechu22|talk]]) 21:47, 3 November 2020 (CET)
