GeckoOS v1.07b - PS3 News, Wii News, Xbox 360 News, PSP News and more!

Wiibrew dev Nuke has released the latest version of GeckoOS. This is only a minor release that corrects a sorta-bug in the previous version.

While version 1.07a allowed you to copy games with the "no copy" flag, it seems that the copy itself still had the flag toggled and so was unable to be copied back to the Wii.

In case you're not familiar with GeckoOS, it's a Wiibrew program that lets you load Wii games from other regions, but was was combined with Ocarina in version 1.06f and now lets you apply cheat codes to games. Here's the changelog for this version:

No copy flag bit in saves now removed when copying no copy flag save games. In previous version you could copy no copy saves but it left the no copy flag bit in the save so unless you used a Hex editor you couldn't copy the save game back to your Wii. Now this bit is removed when you copy the save over. Thanks Kenobi for this patch.


You need the rebooter to copy no copy saves to SD card, but of course you can copy them back without rebooter loaded just like any other standard save.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this.

I am using GechoOS to load PES 08 (PAL) on my NTSC wii. The game works perfectly, but the only problem is that when I want to return to the main menu, it sort of freezes. Its like the console is off, but the disc is still being used, and the green light is still on. To turn it off, I have to go to the actual console, and I have hold down the power button.

Firstly, is this bad for my wii - can it damage the disc drive? And secondly, is there a way to get around this?

Finally, is it safe to turn the console off from the wiimote while the game is still running?

Thanks

P.S. I have tried other PAL games, and they all work normally.
