How the Nintendo GameCube Security was defeated | MVG

Ойындар

Released in 2001, the Nintendo GameCube was Nintendo's first console to have an optical drive. In this episode we take a deep dive in the security of the GameCube and how it was defeated by both Soft-modding and Hard-modding techniques.

    I was the person who discovered the backdoor in Phantasy Star Online. The back door was added in "Version 2" of PSO for Dreamcast, and the code remained for the GameCube release. It was added to fix exploits and detect cheating. A major problem with using the backdoor was that the network traffic was encrypted with an unknown method, and GameCube disks were unreadable at the time. But there was a solution: the Xbox version of PSO had the same encryption, and Xbox had long since been cracked. This is why the reverse-engineered source code for the encryption uses x86 register names and not PowerPC.

I can't wait for MVG to describe what happened with the Wii scene. It was a few years of everybody being totally clueless until Team Twiizers opened the floodgates and everybody was just laughing at its security.

    I really appreciate the retrospective with these console copy protection videos. As someone that pays attention to the "scene", its nice to see a video get made that makes that history digestible by so many. I consider myself more on the "white hat" side, and by that I mean that I am more interested in running my own code/homebrew versus running backups, which I know is hotly debated in the scene. I believe for example that Team Tweezers (the team behind the original Wii Hacking) was very unhappy when their work started to get used for "evil" (backup and piracy playback). Anyway, I hope we get to see more of these (although I suppose we are running out of consoles to talk about) and thank you for all your work!

    I absolutely love this series on how security has been defeated on these older consoles, as it offers a deep look into opportunities for developers to improve the trust chain in their systems. Once you're done with every system that Datel has ever released a version of Action Replay, Gameshark, or other hardware / software exploit for, you should do a video covering the history of Datel. Sure, some things might overlap, but since Datel has touched so many systems with their exploit products, I think it'd be a really interesting video.

    First of all, I must compliment with you for the high quality of your videos, they are absolutely fantastic and I appreciate the in-depth explainations you make about the more technical aspects. That being said, I'd like these explanations to be a little slower, especially when talking about the most complex arguments (e.g. how the mini-DVD copy protection works in the GameCube). I am a software engineer but I must admit that sometimes I have to watch some parts of your videos twice to fully understand them. Keep it up!

    After playing around with ACL and PSUL for a while, someone eventually made a way to read and write memory cards and I got to play around with that too (think it was CrowTRobo). This opened new and exciting possibilities so I went on Dextrose forums or the IRC channel back then to suggest that someone use an Action Replay with a custom memory card file to load home brew. This started a vigorous discussion about the patch, micro bootloader, full bootloader, etc. I’m pretty sure Anaconda had already been released (DVD loader DOL file ripped from ViperGC IPL), which made it a fully-functional alternative to a mod chip. IIRC, Samson’s AR Loader came less than a week later and was released right there on Dextrose. I have to imagine I had something to do with it but perhaps Samson simply thought of it too and actually had the know-how to do it. :)

    Honestly they always made terrible junk, they just were a bit clever in getting around copy protections. Most of their products were extremely flimsy, super buggy, and had terrible UI. They made them dirt cheap and gave zero fucks if it actually worked. Freeloader for Wii is a perfect example. By the time the discs actually got into stores, the exploit they used had been patched. Datel didn't care and was perfectly happy to continue selling this disc that wouldn't actually work for 99% of people. (Only if you had held off updating the system it would work, but you'd be unable to play any newer games.)

    WuselDusel Perhaps it’s possible in principle but I don’t believe you could execute the Datel method with a typical DVD burner either. It’s not the burnable media that I see as a problem, if you had the right hardware I think a burned disk would work. However most disk burners simply don’t support the level of software control required to implement this nonstandard encoding method. When it comes to writing to the disk a typical burner works more like a “typewriter” than a “printer” the burner has a finite number of modes and knows how to write 1s & 0s in those modes, the burning software doesn’t have the level of control necessary to make the hardware do anything else.
