the wii homebrew scene is really picking up the pace now.

Awesome news, yea its taking off. Interesting to see how Nintendo are going to try and combat it (in regards to the recent "VC Crack".)

 

EDIT: Tried it out, it really doesnt work on anything other then Smash Bros, all my other games just go to a garbaged screen, though freeloader boots them up just fine. (Even tried the new 'PAL FIX' version and the problems still there.

I'd always thought any new retail 'freeloader' for the Wii would -as an absolute must- have to be updateable, via online (I was a little disappointed Datel didn't do this afaik).

It was already apperent Nintendo were willing to release updates simply to nerf older freeloaders, like the gc one, so really a homebrew based region bypass looks like a better option, as it should hopefully be able to adapt to any measures Nintendo take in the future.
