Gecko OS 1.8.0.2

[wraggster]

brkirch has released Gecko OS 1.8.0.2 :

Gecko OS (formerly Gecko Region Free) by Nuke lets you load Wii games from other regions.

Gecko OS/Gecko Region Free was created with the homebrew libogc library. No certs, TMD, Tik, keys or other Nintendo copyright material were used or attached in the file, making it a pure homebrew release. No Datel code was used either, so please don't call this a clone etc as this and Freeloader work in completely different ways.

The decryption is done by the hardware, not in software and the correct IOS version of the game booting is selected and used. This is done by reading the information off the DVD using the low level read commands and then passed back to the starlet.

My own apploader was written, and will completely ignore the update partition, no patching is done except a region flag which is required.

This of course only works with Wii games.

Gecko 1.8.0.2
GC memory card crash fixed thanks to Nuke
A core dump that occurs on some Wiis when launching certain games should no longer occur
Fixed code list start for gameconfig.txt
A minor Ocarina fix to ensure ASM insert codes will work properly
Exit no longer causes a core dump if Gecko was launched by a loader that lacks return to loader functionality (such as preloader); instead exit returns to the Homebrew Channel, or resets the Wii if the Homebrew Channel is not installed

Cool, though I don't think this will change the fact that Midway Arcade Treasures 2 still doesn' work right *sigh*...
