The Wii Optical Drive Emulator, also known as WODE or WODE Jukebox, is a modchip for the Nintendo Wii that allows users to play games from an external storage device, such as a USB drive, rather than from the Wii's internal optical drive.
OpenWode enables you to do homebrew development on your [[Wii WODE Jukebox|WODE device]], using the OpenWRT environment as a base. It includes code examples of how to use the LCD display and joystick on the WODE, and the network support scripts used on the retail wode builds are also included. In short, you have a powerful but tiny development platform.


This modchip is notable for being solderless, meaning it can be easily installed without the need for soldering. With the WODE, users can enjoy a wider range of games and easily switch between them without having to physically swap game discs.
This archive got lost for about 10 years, after the WODE's official website was shut down. On January 6th, 2022, a user by the name "wildbomb" found it in his private archives and uploaded it once again to some filehoster.


==Features List==
It basically contains the bare Linux Kernel source code with all the patches required. An advice to those interested: compiling the sources may need a working virtual machine running Ubuntu 9.10. The resulting uImage binary works on a WODE running the "OPENWODE" U-Boot bootloader. This was successfully tested.
* Play Wii & GameCube game ISOs direct from USB Mass Storage devices @8X read speed (HDD and FLASH drive)
* Complete Solder free install solution
* Easy to use GUI - LCD & Joystick - NO homebrew software required (no any update of console can block this device)
* Region hack (works on wiis with firmware 4.1 and lower), Update blocker, Autoboot.
* Passthrough with FLAT-MOD mode built-in, play your DVD-R Wii & GC backups and Imports @3X read speed (doesn't work on D3 version 2+ drives)
* Powerful ARM9 MCU
* Totally Flexible Linux Kernel
* USB hub support for multiple USB devices connection
* Great File System support - use existing WBFS formatted media or 'drag and drop' ISOs to existing USB devices
* NTFS support
* WBFS support
* EXT3FS support
* HPFS support
* The ability to plug as many harddrives as you want (via a USB Hub)
* Future updates will bring more cool features: Disc ripping to WBFS / USB WiFi & SAMBA streaming

** The WODE Bootloader AES key was dumped on May, 23rd 2022 at 06:18pm after hacking the LPC3143 MCU by VCC glitching the 1.2V power rail which is used for devices like USB-OTG, OTP, SD/MMC and so on. By obtaining the Bootloader AES key, it was almost possible to reverse the bootloader source code and compile a custom-bootloader binary which includes the exact same functionality as the stock bootloader.
 
SHA-256 of the Bootloader AES key: 1C08F957CD7E5AC4065D9CDEA23604590A1EFFC2507F720385907941580812C2

The "patch-openwode-git.diff" should make OPENWODE compile on newer Linux distributions.
 
After setting up the main repository, the end user needs to "cd" into the actual repositories' root folder and issue a...

...command on the shell. Then you run the commands...
 
**./build.sh prepare
 
...and...
 
**./build.sh build
 
...to compile this.
