Wiikey Fusion Progress Update
[2010.01.11]
Wiikey Fusion, as many will know, has been the buzz of the Wii modding community for several months now. This revolutionary new way to mod a Wii to enable backups to be played from SD card has caused a lot of excitement and anticipation. At the same time, a lot of people have emailed us to voice their frustration over how long its taking.
When we first announced Wiikey Fusion back in September 2009, we did not think that it would take quite this long to launch. Initially, we had October 2009 as a preliminary launch date. However, introduction of a new protections in the form of a previously unused DI command (BCA read) in a recently released game forced us to reconsider the Wiikey Fusion architecture. While implementing BCA read emulation is quite straightforward there are several other Wii/Gamecube specific commands that potentially could be used in future protections.
As a result of what we discovered, we basically scrapped 4 months work and set about creating a brand new architecture which supports reading game-specific DI command handlers from games on DVD and SD card.
We're pleased to announce that this work is nearing completion, and that we're looking to begin shipments of Wiikey Fusion during January.
We'd like to thank everyone who gave us their support and trust from day one with this product. Without you, Wiikey Fusion would not have become a reality.
Dicen que han tenido que cambiar la arquitectura al ver la protección del NSMB y que considerando otras nuevas protecciones que podrían llegar lo han tenido que rediseñar por completo (supongo que el firmware). El trabajo está próximo a su finalización y esperan empezar los envíos durante Enero.
