Ah, right you are! Never mind me, I didn't realize they slapped on a fake header and the real one was later on
I should stop browsing the web using text only and look at attached pictures more often :p

No problem, emu.
zenloc, an original wii disc header contains partition data, secret keys that encrypt it etc... the faked header just contains zeros (0x00) - its empty.
wii disc structure:
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Disc
gc disc structure:
http://hitmen.c02.at/files/yagcd/yagcd/chap13.html
I think the wkf team was just lazy about the gc disc support and expands all (scrubbed or not) images to 1,36 gb.
So it is easier to read for the wkf and easier to implement in the wbfs manager.
As they didn't release the source code of their wbfs manager 4.0 modification, i will investigate the way it stores gamecube images to wbfs and then may be able to adjust the slots for scrubbed images.
And I am interested in the way wbfs manager estimates the size of a wii iso, will look for it and the 2 mb limit in the 3.0 source code, dont think they changed much of this, but who knows...

Wow, awesome findings. So basically at the moment any homebrew program under 2mb can be made into a .iso and hex edited to take up much less space right? Keep up the great work man

Really nice find
@infact (or some one else who probably knows this) where can I see how big a DOL of gcm is? I wasn't able to find it in the header... (used yagcd to do these things :p)

Infact, could you make us an .iso for WKF with Swiss r39?
Would be awesome!

Total noob here. I'm thinking about trying to make my own portable, and so far I'm planning on going with the WODE. Just want to check and ask if it'll be compatible with all gamecube models.

Hi Hugo_Peters, how's your portable going?
I attached the iso file, will make a short tutorial when I got some time later.
darksky72, so far the WODE is the best to go with. Only problem is the size.

Alright, well I can probably live with that, I expect this whole thing to be quite bulky anyway, I've never done a portable before.

And this would be the correct product to purchase, right? It was the cheapest one I could find...

Just got 4 new cubes off ebay for 15$ + shipping. I ran them all thru the Wiikey test, I got 2x NTSC IPL v1.1 boards (DOL-CPU-11/DOL-CPU-30) and they work fine with the Wiikey. I got 1 board that is IPL v1.0 (DOL-CPU-10) that the Wiikey is once again incompatible with. Lastly I got a DOL-101 (with the built in regulator) with motherboard revision DOL-CPU-50. I can't tell what IPL its running though (I'm assuming either v1.1 or v1.2) because Swiss reports that its a Wii... lol. Wiikey Fusion
is working with this board though

Hehe nice one
Well, swiss is reporting it as Wii because of the if-statement used to determine this:
Code: Select all
#define GC_CPU_VERSION 0x00083214
[...]
#define mfpvr() ({unsigned int rval; asm volatile("mfpvr %0" : "=r" (rval)); rval;})
[...]
if(mfpvr() != GC_CPU_VERSION)
WriteCentre(220,"Running on a Wii");
else
WriteCentre(220,"Running on a Gamecube");
So your model seems to report an other number than the default (ipl 1.0, 1.1...) gamecubes and swiss will show it as Wii.

they must have changed the mfpvr (cpu id) return value on the new boards

Any other way to identify the IPL version on that board then?

Ashen, I'll send you a modified version of Swiss tonight so I can get more info then I'll add it to the main source code.

My portable is going great after the 4 messed up cubes. I'm currently using a DOL-CPU-01 board
made in Phils...
Thank you for the ISO! I'll test it out as soon as I have my FFC connector!

Just tested the iso. It works prefect and only take 2mb. Great work!
Emu_kidid. Is it possible to make swiss direct load the sd card. Also minus all the extra features that you won't use. I don't have any experience in coding. Is it difficult to try something like that?
Re: Wii DVD/Wiikey Fusion/WODE + GC Portable Discussion

Yes I can add support for this in.

you can?? great!! it would be nice if we could load swiss directly instead on the wiikey fusion menu and load our backups and homebrew directly from swiss. Would that be possible? I know you must be busy but have you had the chance to look at the menu code?

Anyone know where I can purchase some pcb pins in UK? then so I can solder on the molex.
It's next to the AV ports, you have take off the laser and metal cover?
Why you can't just bridge the P2 black / red wires and share off that before it reaches the board do two parallel 12V's off it then add a resistor for the 5V.

Little update on the status of my first 2 portables. Sadly it looks like I'm not going to have enough room in my cases to incorporate some of the features I wanted and were requested. Namely 4 player support and T.V. out support. There is just not enough space. I'll have to refine my design for the next batch if I want to incorporate these features.
Anyway. I'm still churning away on the cases. The good thing is I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel now. I have all of the front holes cut for the buttons and the L/R buttons epoxied in. I only have the double Z buttons, Speaker Holes, SD card slots and a few other little things to cut yet and I can start Painting. Yay!
I've also been forced to go with a 7.4v battery setup using Zenlocs custom reg because of space constraints. This isn't really a bad thing but will result in roughly 2hrs battery life. 1 hour less than I was shooting for.
On to some new pics!
Both cases mostly cut:
A little closer up view of button retainers and L button setup:
Sizing things up (stuffs just kind of laying in there for the pic):
