And if the new updates does, I can remove everything before I apply the update. « Last Edit: May 29, 2008, 10:58:46 pm by Hyrule_boy » Logged

It's how I play my games nowadays! D: Except for Dragon Quest and Brawl... DQ needs the recognition and Brawl was just too awesome...) Logged

I don't think anyone gives a damn about the music. Yeah I agree! who cares about the music? the fact that you can easily get Wiiware and VC game and so much more for free through the Homebrew Channel is much more important. Logged

No way in hell this will lead to nintendo bricking wiis.

No hardware modding is required, nintendo can't brick Wiis because of the homebrew channel, it's just as likely as the Mii channel bricking wiis.

Anywho, the wii scene is progressing very nicely, external HDD support is making strides which will be great for media players and perhaps an iso loader in the future.
Impressive that anyone can easily create their own channel and have it look just like the official ones already, hopefully it won't be too long before homebrew games specifically for Wii and maybe some tech demos

I'm waiting till they can make full custom firmware for the Wii.

It's hard to say if they ever will need to.
Custom channels are already working, if they can put an iso loader together a custom firmware will probably never be needed

Yeah but it's not really a reality. It's an unofficial, unlicensed channel. How long do you expect it to last? o.0;;

I find it very humorous that people actually think developing software for the Wii using unofficial devkits will actually get them somewhere when Nintendo frowns upon it. I mean, sure its a step forward for emulation, but realistically this channel is not going to last long as Nintendo will quickly block it out

OR they know what's going on and can't really do much about it. Logged

Nintendo can't stop homebrew on the wii, thanks to Twilight Princess it's already much too late.
Unless they go door to door confiscating copies of the game.

They will probably block the channel eventually, but it will be a few days tops before it's back again

worst case scenario: custom firmware.
