These links came via the translated Tweakers article (here’s the original Dutch). The original report (in dutch) is a dead link so here’s the Google cache copy translated. We wouldn’t be surprised to see a homebrew channel program that allows ISO selection without having to walk over to the console. Now the race is on for a replacement case that can house all of this new hardware and still look nice like the original. There is also a second ribbon-cable connector to use as a pass-through, giving the option to keep the optical drive hooked up if you so desire. The developers claim that a Wii firmware upgrade will not be able to lock out the WODE. Selected ISO files appear in the game channel as if an original disc had just been inserted into the drive. Storage can be hot plugged and then an ISO selected using the stick and LCD display. The WODE is based on an ARM9 processor, runs Linux, and features a backlit LCD screen and 4-way center click joystick. This hack uses the ribbon cable for the optical drive to connect to the Wii, requiring no soldering. The Wii-Optical-Drive-Emulator (WODE) makes it possible to load Wii and GameCube ISO files from an SD card or USB storage device.
