i'm sure they'll all be working again pretty soon. shame it affects the iplayer. thats things awesome and one of the few carts that doesn't support the playing of homebrew or romz. Just lets you play all manner of video and music files without having to convert them first. _________________ The only thing we know is that we know nothing.
they can try and stop it but they will never win. remember when the dsi was released thay said all r4's were usless, well they got round that in about 2 weeks! i have been looking into the homebrew channel on the wii and it makes you realise that the piracy is now at full speed on the wii without even the use of modchips!!! and this is nintendos own doing by allowing the sd card slot to be used in this manner. all the people they have working for them and they drop a mistake like this. nintendo dont stand a chance! it's going to end up like the ps2 with 9 out of 10 people running hooky games. _________________ Better a bad day on the snow than a good day in the office.
Surely though, for people with these flash carts etc, this isn't much of an effect, but for the Wii, with just SD cards, it seems only the consumers will win!
If you can call them consumers if they're gettin' games for free.
How do people get to work games or whatever with just an SD & a Wii? I thought Modchips were needed. An' the twilight princess hack was stopped a while ago wasn't it?
I ask only out of curiousity. Got no SD cards anyway. (I prefer memory sticks for portable storage)
Theres a new hack called banner bomb which works in the memory settings. Just add a couple files to the card and viola. it'll install the Homebrew channel.
then the wiis open to unlock its full potential. Region free, Run games off an external HDD, flash pen or SD (much faster than the DVD drive too), play backup, get VC and wiiware and dlc for other regions and free too.
play old lucas arts adventure gamesusing scumm vm.
emulaotrs for pretty much every old gaming system out there. you can even run lynux if you want.
Fantastic program and something every wii owner should consider installing.
Modchips on the wii are definately on there way out, only older models can use most of the better ones too, as nintendo took the port they react with out of later models. _________________ The only thing we know is that we know nothing.

Hak 5 did a video about this a while ago, I have the link for it if your interested, I haven't tried it though as the wii in my house belongs to the wife. _________________ bebo | eBay | twitter | 360: minignaz | steam: minignaz
like wheresmymonkey said, if you have a wii and dont have homebrew (which is free) then you're missing out on so much. you can also have instantly an external usb hard drive / pen drive attached to download and run your games off at twice the speed of disc. you dont even need a pc to do this, the wii does it all for you!!! crazy stuff and how many people have been moaning about the lack of a hard drive on the wii? _________________ Better a bad day on the snow than a good day in the office.
Bloody hell. I didn't know how exposed to piracy the Wii actually was. Still wouldn't bother buying one. But Nintendo will be screwed if their regular "target demographic" start to learn about this. Just proves how backwards Nintendo are. _________________ That's what a fool believes Kenny... XBL GT: Noobsaibot21 Currently Playing: Video Games
