Audio Streaming

under construction...to be continued...


History

Gamecube titles used audio streaming on certain titles blah blah blah

the common practice of using multi-title discs required shrinking the title which also broke 32kbyte alignment blah blah

Wiped GCM Fixer 1.5F (also known as fstfix 1.5) blah blah


Confusion

GameCube mod chips utilized a feature which corrected streaming audio on backup media labelled "GameCube Audio Fix". Without this games would try to read internally from an incorrect offset, and although the game wouldn't report a read error, there was static instead of audio.

Wii initial modchips (drive chips) provided the same fix as the GameCube modchips did, Wiikey V1 and perhaps V2 even had this.

Then the Wii DVD drives locked modchips out slightly so the only solution was to intercept read commands between the DVD and the Wii and turn them into DVD-Video requests, at this point, any kind of Audio Streaming fix was thrown out the door. Because of this, Audio streaming games would throw read errors and/or play static instead of actual audio.

Modchip manufactures started using descriptions such as GameCube audio fix with a new meaning now, which only disabled the stream data to prevent the issues above.

Solutions

solutions to play these titles depend on method media or modchip being used.


Gamecube Modchips

all native gamecube modchips blah blah

Wii Modchips

wii modchips usable on gamecube such as wkf/wode as a drive replacement will be affected by audio streaming titles due to the design on the modchip and how it handles the audio streaming data...blah blah

to regain ability to correctly play these audio streaming titles with a drive replacement the following must be performed...blah blah blah

and blah blah

these work around mods are the only solutions available to for wkf/wode
