[cfwprophet]

Kwiirk has released a new version of his custom IOS that allows you to use USB 2.0 devices at their full speed for the Nintendo Wii.

This program is a modification of custom ios module by neimod, implementing a usb2 (ehci) driver on the side of legacy OH0 and OH1 modules.

To quote: Basically, it enables USB 2.0 devices to run at full USB 2.0 speeds. Before, it would only allow USB 1.1 speeds

The sources included also contain various tools to help the ioshacker. Use with care.. A modified copy of libfat shows developers a simple way to use full USB speed for their applications, while keeping usb1 working if cios_usb2 is not installed.

What's New?

- added a ehc custom module which implements standard ios usb API over /dev/usb/ehc, plus custom usbstorage direct api.
- restored the legacy oh0 module from nintendo. External USB1.1 devices will be taken care of by this module.
- changed the order of module loading in order to be sure that EHCI initialization code runs before OH1, now bluetooth should work more reliabily.
- added libfat w/ read_ahead and USBspeedTest, courtesy of rodries from mplayer-ce team.
