Updating Wode System Firmware

http://www.wodejukebox.com/download/WODEupdate1.20.zip

To update the Wode's system firmware download the update and copy it to an SD card formatted with the FAT filesystem. Insert the SD card into Wode and power on. Wode will then display the message "Wode Updating". The update process can take several minutes, when the update is complete Wode will reboot. The SD card can then be removed.

Navigating the Menu System

Use the joystick to navigate the Wode menu system. Click up and down to move the current menu selection up and down. The current menu item is marked by a pair of square brackets ('[' and ']')

To select a menu item click the joystick to the right.
To move back to the previous menu click the joystick to the left

Main Menu

The main menu has five items.



-Favorites Here you can manage shortcuts to and launch upto 8 of your favorite games
-Select Game Here you can launch a game from a storage device
-Flat Wode Launches the "Flat Wode" feature, allows you to play backups (NOT D3-2)
-Settings Here you can change your Wode's settings
-About Here you can find system information about your Wode

Favorites

Wode has 8 'favorites' slots, you can assign any game from your collection to any of the 8 slots. In the Favorites menu the state of all 8 favorites slots is displayed in a list.



A favorites slot can be in one of three states

-Empty- No game has been assigned to this slot
-Not Found- A game has been assigned but has not been found on any attached storage devices
-Game Name- A game has been assigned and has been found on one of the attached storage devices

Selecting an empty slot will take you to the Select Game menu (see below)

Selecting an occupied slot, if the assigned game has been found, will launch the game

To delete a slot, even if the game has not been found, click the joystick's central position (push joystick in)



Selecting a Game

Selecting this menu allows you to select a partition on one of the attached storage devices.



Once you have selected the partition Wode will present a list of available games.



Selecting a game will either launch it or insert it in the favorites slot.



Flat Wode

Launches the Wode's "Flat Wode" mode allowing you to play backups. Hit the 'eject' button on the Wii TWICE to exit "Flat Wode" mode.



Settings

The settings menu allows you change Wode's default behavior.



-Game Patching takes you to a second menu
-Region (ONOFF) Allows you to select the region Wode will then attempt to patch games to match.
-Updates (YES/NO) Setting this option to YES will permit updates from game disks to be applied. Selecting NO disables the update

Game Cube Configuration ISO
A new partition has been added to the list of available partitions, ram1. It contains the Wode Game Cube configuration ISO. You can treat this like any other Game Cube ISO, launch it or add it your favorites. You may also use the settings option to launch it at power on

The Game Cube configuration ISO menu system is identical to the Wode LCD menu. To control it you will need a Game Cube controller.

Controls
'A' Select (right on joystick)
'B' Back (left on joystick)
D Pad Up and Down (up and down on joystick)
'Z' Delete Favorite (center on joystick)

"Flat Wode" mode at power on
It is possible to put Wode into "Flat Wode" mode from power on. The Wode will remain in "Flat Wode" mode when disks are inserted and ejected. To exit "Flat Wode" mode and return to the main menu hold the joystick in any direction while ejecting the game disk

About

Here you can find version information about your Wode.



Attaching Storage Devices

Wode will recognise a wide range of USB mass storage devices, Wode can also read game data from SD and SDHC cards. Wode supports a number of filesystems

EXT3FS
FAT
HFS+
NTFS
WBFS


HFS+ partition


NTFS & FAT partitions on the same HDD


2 WBFS partitions on the same HDD

Game Files

With the exception of WBFS formatted partitions you should create a directory called "ISO" in the root of each storage device attached. Game images should be placed in the "ISO" directory.

Wode will search for the following file extensions in the "ISO" directory. Wode will also search one directory level below the "ISO" directory, this allows you to group the WBFS/ISO/BCA files together.

.ISO An image of a Wii or GC game .GCM An image of a GC game
.WBFS An image of a Wii game spread across 1 or more files in the wbfs format
.BCA A binary file containing the 64 bytes of BCA data for a Wii game



Two .wbfs filesets, one GC game and NSMB plus BCA data

Note: Wii games may be converted to .wbfs files, the disk space required to store the game is reduced and the game image can be spread across a number of files. All files in a .wbfs fileset must have the same name (with incrementing file extension)

BCA data is used by a new Nintendo copy protection scheme, this was first seen in NSMB. BCA data is not required for games that do not use this protection method and the BCA file may be safely omitted.



Legend of Zelda split into two .wbfs files

A .wbfs fileset or ISO file must have the same name as the .BCA file. If a BCA data file is not available Wode will assume the BCA data is at offset 0x100 from the start of the game image.

Since it is not possible to put a BCA data file in a WBFS partition Wode assumes all game images on WBFS partitions have the BCA data at offset 0x100 from the start of the game image (patch your ISOs before transferring them to a WBFS partition)

We have tested with, and recommend, the following game image tools:

WBFS Manager 3.0 for managing WBFS formatted partitions (http://wbfsmanager.codeplex.com/Release ... seId=26808)

Wii Backup Manager 3.1 Beta 3 for creating .wbfs filesets (http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=188295)

Known issues
-Wode does not recognize an SD card if it is inserted when Wode boots. Workaround, remove and reinsert the SD card
