Just to reserve this acronim, TEAM which means “Talk Enough Action More”. Just a seconds before I wrote this, I try to search that word “Talk Enough Action More” (with the double-quotes) using Google, and found NO result …

Just to make a test, if the searching after this for that sequence is linking to this blog :) In my opinion, that acronim and wording are much better than “Talk Less Do More” ones which is currently used to fight with “No Action Talk Only / NATO” ones … Why? Because the meaning of “Talk Enough Action More” is highly related to the word TEAM.

So … enjoy this new “TEAM” - Talk Enough Action More …

And now, I totally agree with that. WII is different. WII means “body activity”, not just moving our finger.

But wait … this blog is not about talking what WII is. I like to share about hacking the WII console. I’m purely newbie in this area, that’s why I googling intensively about WII, and after 3 weeks, I found some interesting stuff about WII hacking.

1. Bannerbomb is a tools (or exploit?) to run an external application (ELF/DOL file) stored in the WII SD Card. This exploit need a specific binary file stored in the SD Card, and WII Channel menu to active it.

2. Homebrew Channel is a custom channel in our WII menu which enabling us to run the homebrew (3rd party) application. There are many thing that homebrew application can do/provide.

3. USB Loader is a homebrew application for backup our WII DVD games to external HDD (via USB 2.0), and also playing that backup games. For me, the main advantage of this application is the capability to store many games backup, so we don’t need to change DVD anytime we want to play just another game, and give some more lifetime for the WII disc optics (and some other say about the higher access speed, compared to the original DVD play method).

4. preloader is an injected code to the original system menu which give a capability to launch homebrew channel or execute homebrew application just before the WII displaying the system menu. This hacking give us a possibility to solve the brick problem (brick means our WII is not able to go to the system menu, or in the “virgin” WII brick means damage).

Happy WII-ing …

I won’t write that fun situation, but PSP hacking stuff :)
Fortunately, almost all PSP that sold in my area is using CFW (I bought a used PSP, not the new ones). CFW is Custom Firmware, a firmware which is hacked, and have a capability to run PSP games saved in the memory card. Using this firmware we also able to run third party software, which is called homebrew. Read this article to get more information about that.

One of my PSP has an abnormal analog pad. The stick is too sensitive, and sometimes, it move accidently in the middle of the game. Disturbing enough … :( Googling, and I found a homebrew called joysens created by raphael@fx-world.org. This application has a capability to change the sensitivity of analog pad, and if you need it, fully disable it. Very helpfull application.

Joysens is a plugin for CFW. Just copy it (joysens.prx) to your seplugins folder located in the memory card, and activate it through the recovery menu (really turn OFF your PSP by pressing OFF button for some time and then press L and R trigger together while you turn the PSP on again) - from plugin menu. If you want to modify the main key trigger, just edit the joysens.ini … or leave primarybtn parameter blank if you don’t want to assign it to any button (so you can not display or edit any parameter on-the-fly, but still possible to do it through the joysens.ini file).

From the readme, you can also disable the analog pad by setting “adjust” parameter as 0.

My also must have homebrew application is PSP Filler. It is a File Manager for PSP. I use it to re-order the game icons, and explore the memory card through the PSP itself.

Also, I use SVCapture plugin to get a snapshot directly from the PSP. Using this plugin, we can assign any button for capturing the displayed image.

Enjoy it …

The most important thing is : the total data transferred to the user is smaller compared to the original ones. Sometimes, it is very small, so it become more more faster to open the web. And for some reason, it can bypass an internal rules because the firewall (or proxy) think that the user connect to the Opera sites (unless they really block Opera Proxy Server off course).

Usually, Mini Opera is running from the mobile phone which has Java capabilities. But, sure … it also possible to run in from the PC. Using the help of microemulator software, a Java ME (Java for Mobile - J2ME) Emulator for PC, it is possible to get Mini Opera running in the PC. There are some J2ME Emulator which is probably better than MicroEmulator, such as SJBoy, but the problem is : SJBoy is not supporting yet a proxy configuration. If you are not behind the proxy, SJBoy is better, because it is a stand-alone application which is not need a Java Runtime installed in the PC (MicroEmulator need it).

Both SJBoy and MicroEmulator has a capability to resize their display just like a normal/PC screen sizes (just to remember that the original purposes of J2ME Emulator is to emulate the Java which is running in the mobile phone with their screen size).

Good Luck.

I, personally, use xmlc extension to accomodate that.
So, I use these setting in the registry :

HKCR\.xmlc
Default = xmlcfile

HKCR\xmlcfile\Shell\Open\Command
Default = "\Program Files\AEConfig.exe" -ui -input="%1"

and of course, I copy the AEConfig.exe file in the \program files\ phone directory.

Afther that, we can create a WAP Provisioning file, for example, test.xmlc … and execute it directly (by clicking it) from the phone itself (no PC connection needed).
