Nintendo Wii officially HACKED without modchip!

[emwearz]

You beat me to what I was going to say about the GameCube, and that was a fairly average console in terms of sales / game sales and Nintendo saw it through to the end, the Wii has all ready outsold what they did for the Gamecube in many country's and it would not surprise me if it had all ready made more cash then it.

 

I cant see it effecting the Wii's lifespan in the slightest, its the best console they have had since the Snes, only a small amount of its users would be using this style of exploit (I would imagine) It wont harm it much.

 

If people really wanted to play pirated games, im sure they have chips all ready.

emu_kidid has released a MP3 player via Wii mode and unholyfire has released a port of SNES9X GX which runs in Wii's native mode. Big steps foward.

Another update, the exploit can now be launched directly from the Wii's SD card reader. Big update!.

It would be nice to be able to play backups of GC. Wii games and american release GC I buy original. But some games I just can't get my hands on. Backups a must then.

It seems like Nintendo are on the case, new firmware update which is setting the way for blocking out the Twilight Hack.

So unless people never want to update there consoles (Which would mean you wont be able to play future games that require newer firmware) it looks like this hack will end soon.

It doesn't block the twilight hack, it "only" blocks the trucha signed disks and the freeloader IF there's another update released not yet.

The twilight hack can't be fixed IMO because they really need to fix the game to fix that bug, that would mean create a V1.1, but it would still work with 1.0 and no system update could fix that.
