RVT-H Tool

This is an open-source tool for managing RVT-H Reader consoles.

License: GPL v2

Current Features

  • Lists all disc images currently installed on the RVT-H system.
  • Lists "deleted" images that aren't accessible on the RVT-H but are still present on the HDD.
  • Extracts disc images from the RVT-H into an image file.

Planned Features

  • Installation of GameCube and Wii disc images. Wii disc images must be either unencrypted or debug-encrypted in order to run correctly.
    • Support for both CISO and WBFS formats for importing.
  • Direct undeletion of disc images on the RVT-H system.
  • Automatic re-signing of retail Wii disc images to allow them to run on the RVT-H system. (Update partitions will be removed, since retail updates won't work properly on RVT-H.)
  • Standalone disc image re-signing to convert e.g. retail to debug, debug to retail, unencrypted to debug, etc. Conversion to retail will result in a fakesigned image.
    • Support for both CISO and WBFS formats for converting retail to debug and vice-versa, but not encrypted to unencrypted.

A future version will also add a GUI.

Usage

The following commands assume /dev/sdb is the RVT-H device.

Full unencrypted RVT-H disk image dumps taken from the front-panel USB port are also supported.

Direct device access on Windows is currently untested.

List disc images: sudo ./rvthtool /dev/sdb

Extract disc image: sudo ./rvthtool /dev/sdb 1

  • Replace 1 with the bank number.

Encryption

The RVT-H's front-panel USB interface is not encrypted. A raw dump of the internal HDD taken by disassembling the system and connecting the HDD directly to the PC may be encrypted; I have not checked this yet.

Disc images on the RVT-H may or may not be encrypted:

  • GameCube: Not encrypted.
  • Wii: May be encrypted using the RVT-R debug key, or not encrypted.

Wii disc images encrypted using the RVT-R debug key are currently playable on the Dolphin emulator and on retail consoles with a USB loader, if the image is re-encrypted and fakesigned using the retail keys.

Unencrypted Wii disc images are not currently usable on Dolphin or retail consoles. I have been working on adding unencrypted image support to Dolphin but have not been successful yet.

Note about Debug IOS

RVT-R disc images typically include debug copies of IOS. These will not install on retail consoles, since they're encrypted with debug keys. Do NOT attempt to install them by re-encrypting them with the retail keys. Doing so will most likely result in a brick, especially if the 128 MB mode IOS WADs are used.
