Coming soon: Exploit for Nintendo Wii by comex

DON'T NAME THIS EXPLOIT! LEAVE THAT TO COMEX!

Exploit by comex, ELF loading code by Team Twiizers. Bug used was discovered by svpe.

This exploit exploits a vulnerability in SSBB's stage builder code to run arbitrary homebrew code. Currently it will load an elf file from /boot.elf on the SD card.

This exploit differs from others in the fact that it is quite difficult for Nintendo to patch. There is no method on the Wii for patching games, and as this exploit does not go through the System Menu, it can not be patched by Nintendo at this time.

Join us in #sssb on EFNet (irc.efnet.net) to discuss! Release is when its done (aka: soon).

All you have to do to use this exploit is delete all custom stages on your Wii, then copy over the file. When you etner the Stage Builder menu, it will automatically run /boot.elf on SD.

CFW Enabler 2.50 released

A quick update on the CFW Enabler reaching version 2.50.

On this new version, ChickHEN patching has been improved and it has lots and lots of less bugs (solved the one who didn't allow the version patch after quitting a game, also you can now install any pops version in flash, the plugins bug is now gone, and you can even install lower versions at the same time as the latest one, even though that's not interesting)

Thanks for the quick update and we hope that we can use this too with the 3000 models.
