Marcan is back with a rather long post over at Hackmii:
Wow, time does fly. More than a year ago, on October 23rd, 2008, Nintendo finally released an update that fixed the strncmp (fakesigning) exploit in all forks of IOS. This disabled any direct methods to install unofficial content on all updated Wii consoles. At the time, version beta9 of The Homebrew Channel had been in the making for a while, so we decided to take the opportunity to use one of our stockpiled IOS exploits to work around the update and release beta9. These exploits differ from fakesigning in that they directly exploit the IOS runtime, injecting code that lets us take control and disable signatures altogether. Therefore, this was our first released IOS code execution exploit. HBC beta9 was released and worked great on all Wiis, as always.
In order to hinder Nintendo’s attempts at fixing it, and to avoid misuse by warez kiddies, sven and I had a lot of fun obfuscating the exploit over a couple afternoons. We decided not to release information about it, hoping it would last long enough to be useful for future installers and BootMii. Later we kind of forgot about this, but on a few occassions people have asked us to document it, and we proposed a challenge: we would document the exploit as soon as someone “broke” our obfuscation and figured out how the exploit works. The intent was to promote reverse engineering and also see just how long it would take people to crack it. Apparently, either people weren’t very interested or we did a pretty good obfuscation job, because it took pretty long
Well, I’m happy to say that today I received an e-mail from an anonymous hacker who successfully reverse engineered our layers of obfuscation. He (or she!) discovered the inner workings of the STM Release Exploit, as I will be calling it, and did so after three weekends of reverse engineering. Hats off to you, and thank you for taking the challenge!
This bug was discovered by accident, and in fact it is a real honest-to-goodness software bug that is not only exploitable, but a nuisance during regular use. To understand it, you need to understand how STM works.
STM is the IOS module in charge of random hardware functions such as handling the fan, “idle” (WC24) mode, the front slot LED (including the blink patterns), and the buttons. I have no clue what STM means, but I’ve seen it called “State-TM” somewhere on the Wii. One of the main functions of STM is to provide a way for PowerPC software to get notifications when either the Reset or the Power buttons are pressed. It’s worth noting that I have no clue why they did this –the PowerPC already knows about Reset via the legacy GameCube interface, and can be given direct access to Power including IRQ via the shared GPIO system, and IOS doesn’t use these buttons at all– but they did. It works like this: STM creates two devices, an “immediate” device, and an “event” device. The immediate device is used to issue commands to STM that take effect immediately, while the event device is the callback mechanism. The PowerPC code issues an IOS_IoctlAsync() call on the “event” device, and this call blocks (asynchronously) until there is an event (such as a button press). When this happens, the call returns with the event code, and the PowerPC code reissues it to listen for further events.
One problem with this approach is that the PowerPC needs a way to shut down the event callback. The IOS IPC mechanism doesn’t provide a way for the PowerPC to cancel an ongoing request; it must wait until its completion. When PowerPC code needs to hand off execution, it needs to clean up all references and file descriptors to IOS, so it needs a way to get rid of the event call. STM implements this by having a call on the immediate interface that forces the event call to return with a zero event code. So far so good. If you’re interested, check out stm.c on libogc (particularly the functions with EventHook in the name).

Parisian developer-publisher Neko Entertainment has confirmed that it is bringing a new creative suite named Faceez to the DSi. Faceez lets owners of Nintendo's download-focused handheld personalise, mix and decorate photos of friends.
“Faceez is a fun easy-to-use photo suite that gives users the freedom to customize their photo library, through millions of possible colourful, crazy combinations and share them online with friends”, said Laurent Lichnewsky, managing director of Neko Entertainment, “From riotous facial animations that make photos come to life to over 150 accessories that disguse the identities behind them and much more, Faceez will be a unique and universally appealing addition to the DSiWare library in 2010."
By taking advantage of the DSi's built in camera Faceez lets users manipulate and animate their pictures, and provides over 150 items and accesories for players' amusement. The package also enables cut and pasting that can be used to mix together the features from various victims' faces.
While no final release date or price has been confirmed, Faceeze, which also boasts online support that lets users upload their creations to social networks, is expected to be available shortly.

There’s a warm place in our hearts for the original Nintendo Entertainment System. It’s too bad we don’t have that hardware sitting around anymore. But if you do there’s a chance it needs some TLC and there’s always room for a blue LED mod. [Raph] has a wonderful collection of NES hardware repairs and hacks that you should take a look at. These include replacing the power supply, fixing the cartridge connector, monkeying with the CIC chip, adding a reset button on the controller, converting the audio from mono to stereo, and yes, swapping in a blue LED. Oh, and as a side note, [Raph] gets a bit of extra hacker ‘cred for including “coded manually using VIM” at the bottom of his page. Classic.

Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata was offered the chance to sign up the device that became Project Natal - but turned it down as he didn't believe he could launch it at a mass-market price.
That's according to a top insider (and we mean top insider) at the platform holder's Japan HQ, who told us that Israel firm 3DV Systems showed an early demo of the technology to Iwata and other Nintendo bigwigs at the end of 2007.
Despite being impressed with the prototype, Iwata was reportedly unsold on it as a peripheral for Wii - leaving the door open for Microsoft to snap up the tech and its creator a year later.
"Iwata-San only ever invests in something he can guarantee will work for a Nintendo audience," the exec told us.
"3DV showed off a camera that detected motion in 3D, and had voice recognition - but Iwata-San was unconvinced he could sell it at a Nintendo price point. He also had some worries around latency during gameplay."
The new information appears to confirm 3DV's involvement in the creation of Natal, which Microsoft has never certified.
Microsoft first showed off Natal at E3 2009. - with Peter Molyneux in particular stunning the audience with boy-sim Milo.
"Honestly - I've heard Iwata describe the prototype he saw at length, and it's definitely Natal," added CVG's source.
"What we witnessed at E3 was smaller and the facial [reading] stuff had improved, but it's the same technology. We remain unconvinced Natal will deliver on the more sophisticated elements of what Microsoft is promising at the price they're aiming for."
Microsoft will no doubt internally disagree with the claims. MS has dubbed Natal a'new console' in itself. The hardware is set to launch late this year, with an expected price point of around £50.
Iwata's alleged belief that the device would be too expensive fits with recent reports that Microsoft removed a chip from Natal to save on R&D costs, whilst some prominent development figures have also questioned whether Natal will have potential latency issues.
Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto has previously admitted: "This type of motion-sensing camera technology has been around for quite a while. [We've] ultimately made the decision not to take advantage of what they can do."
Unsurprisingly, both Nintendo UK and Microsoft would not offer us a comment on the "speculation". (Trust us, it ain't).
What do you reckon, readers - was Iwata right to say "no" to Natal? Or will he look back on the one that got away?
