Trucha Signer 0.21

Description via Willi

Major scene breakthrough. Trucha Signer lets you remove, add or alter the information on the Wii disk and then re-sign it with a valid electronic signature that the Wii will accept. The author is now working on support for VC-game and Wii channel. This should be a easy way to get Linux on a DVD that the Wii will accept. However the bug that allow this is easy to spot, so do not update your Wii at the moment. (Should not be hard to avoid if you remove it from the Wii disks before inserting them into the Wii.)

Hmm im not so sure myself but it is another note of interest for the Wii Scene.

this is amazing.
hm, so if i had a backup, i could use this to play it without a modchip? (assuming my old backup works)

i'm gonna try it now.. with smg

i own the original if you wonder.. (in a day or two xD)

and i'm using a dvd-rw to burn it to (verbatim)

EDIT: the program said "error decrypting data" when i was opening the smg backup..
and i saw this thread too http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=76509
saying it "just" resigns the disc to make it run after you modify it, on a chipped console

i was really happy for a while there.. i'm locking forward to the vc games though

No you can't. As i understand this right every Wii disk, so also an iso image of one, is signed and the wii checks this signed information if it matches to the disk content. When you change anything from the disk is does not match anymore. So you need to resign it.

The Mod Chip is still required to be able to boot from non orignial disks.

Anyway if this works out in the future i guess people who don't want to play "backups" will have a reason to buy a modchip.

i've just read on gbatemp (the thread link in my previous post) that they have enabled the gore on some PAL games that the devs have disabled..

EDIT: they are working on disabling the news and weather channel in the SSBB update and enabling stereo sound on guitar hero 3..
