OpenWode enables you to do homebrew development on your 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.

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.

User guide

The archive contains the original "OPENWODE.RAR" files. To learn how to get started, please refer to the "OpenWode_GettingStarted_20110520.pdf" file for instructions.

-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 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.
+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.
-==Features==
+==User guide==
-* Play Wii & GameCube game ISOs direct from USB Mass Storage devices @8X read speed (HDD and FLASH drive).
+The archive contains the original "OPENWODE.RAR" files. To learn how to get started, please refer to the "OpenWode_GettingStarted_20110520.pdf" file for instructions.
