Wii-Linux DVD Install Media

This project consists of the build tools, and the loader app itself. The latter is a libogc-based app that loads MINI, Linux, and an initramfs from a specially crafted DVD. The former is what creates the DVD.

Current progress

  • DVD reads work
  • ARMBootNow works
  • Customized MINI works
  • Linux boots (partially, it gets past the zImage wrapper before panicing doing USB stuff)
  • Initramfs does not yet exist
  • ArchISO / userspace tooling does not yet exist

TODO

  • Fix kernel panic
  • Make rvl-di work again (see also this issue tracking it)
  • ArchISO config and initramfs hacks to support it
  • Cleaner loading screen
  • Migrate from libogc to PowerBlocks if it ever gains IOS IPC
