Unscrambling Wii Disks now possible

Some people just thought it wasn’t possible, but look, here we are. The GOD/WOD  unscrambler is, as the title of this post says, an application that allows you to create ISOs of your Wii games on your PC.

Before you folks scream “Jolly Roger,” please note that the app isn’t like the infamous DeCSS DVD Decrypter. For you to make Wii ISOs you first need to modify the firmware on your DVD drive to allow Wii disks to be read. This means that the first step in the long-ish ISO making process isn’t for those folks without the necessary skillz.

You have to somehow modify your DVD firmware to disable the ECD (error checking code), after that this program will facilitate descrambling the dumped file into the ISO. Not exactly similar to this dubious situation, but we’re getting there.

This blogger remembers thinking up a what-if scenario before. Well, things seem to slowly (speed-of-continental-drift-slowly) moving in that direction. Now if they can only get around the lack of GFX acceleration…
