I didn't try on Win7/win10 easy share mode without username/login. I only managed to make SMB work on homebrew by creating a new user on windows (WinXP at that time), back on my main account making a new shared folder and giving specific rights to the new user to that shared folder, and using that account login information on the homebrew. I didn't try SMB for a long time, hey, maybe latest version is working fine Open PS2 Loader (OPL) is an application designed to allow you to play your PS2 games from an Internal. Though, I don't know which SMB version is available or possible, you might have to decrease the SMB version on your computer at security risk.

Other than Wii games, like XFlak said, Homebrew are capable of using SMB, like WiiMC or Emulators. I guess Ill roll with the laggy loading and see what happens down the road. It would also have to manage timeout and packet loss/errors, etc.Įven if it was possible to code all that, then there is still one issue : The network is not fast enough on Wii for streaming games ISO/files over Wifi or LAN. I have no idea why it likes the SMB route over the HDD route, but whatever. Other than the IOS doing it, it would require the game being recoded/patched to add network interface.

There's no cIOS to look for files over the network. No game has that kind of code ready, instead the game requests files to the IOS, the IOS does the job to find the file on disc or NAND (or USB in case of custom IOS for USBLoaders) and provides it to the game.

When a game is played, the Wii doesn't have an OS (operating system) running in the background managing the network, the game is run directly on the CPU/GPU/RAM/IOS, and the game itself has to code the network requests. If what you want is a 'Wii game loader through the network' instead of an USBLoader, or disc based games, then no it's not possible.
