Hacking Wii U Piracy Discussion

[TotalInsanity4]

Oh yeah, just like that time when Linux put Microsoft out of business, then Google released Android and Apple's stock dropped to like half it's previous value in a month. Oh wait, that didn't happen. Companies always find ways to make money, they just need to be willing to evolve with the times. Mark my words, in a couple of years when consumer affordable 3D printers become available, toy vendors like Lego are going to freak out because you'll be able to download Lego designs and print them at home for 1/10th the price of the retail set.

I'll accept that the Linux point is a very good one, although I know a lot of people who would rather have Windows for one reason or another, mainly that they think Linux is "weaker" (not my opinion, I love it), but the Android/Apple logic is flawed because iOS only runs on Apple hardware, which is really the only reason it survives. Brand appeal, looks, and simplicity are really the only thing keeping Apple afloat right now

So you're saying brand exclusivity is not a legit way to stay in business? I know a few game companies that would like to disagree.

You second argument is bait for apple fanboys, nice try. You're partially right there though.

Game ripping to USB and loading games via USB. And before you guys cry piracy, this is more for convenience purposes as swapping disks is inconvenient.

You can always buy Wii U games on eShop as well. But yeah I agree with disc switching every time especially if you play a lot of Wii U games. I even have New Super Luigi U on disc lol.
Needs the firmware spoofing to access the eShop. But let's just hope a USB loader will not be released too early though.

Some of us like to collect disks, so it's not quite illegitimized yet. The day Nintendo allows us to install content from a disk to the console, however, it will be

You could get a White 8GB launch Wii U like Hykem did

I would, but
a) I'm not into piracy personally, if I were to get one there would have to be another motivator, and
b) ....... effuuuuuuuuuuurt.....

So can we get back on topic please?

There has been ZERO piracy on Wii U since its release up to and including today. Is the Wii U a booming system with lots of top grade developers releasing their AAA titles for Wii U, given this astonishing track record and the maturity of development tools currently available? No.

Would the availability of a reliable piracy tool kill the Wii U? That's the question. It didn't kill the Wii; the Wii has been available as a mini edition even today! It also didn't kill the Gameboy. It didn't kill the Gameboy color. It didn't kill the GBA. It didn't kill the DS.

Nintendo would be wise though not to exclude systems from purchasing legal content. They do this on the 3DS; you play obviously pirated carts online = ban. You buy and download stuff from eShop, even though Nintendo can find out you're running an EmuNAND = works fine. If people want to throw money your way, by all means let them.

Just letting you know, you're going to get people throwing the PSP at you.

I can see it, yeah

Although the poor sales are really due to a lot of dumb decisions by Nintendo culminating at one time, not the lack of piracy on the system (at least, it's not the most prevalent contributor), and I feel like if Nintendo felt like what little sales they had on the Wii U were threatened, they would most likely shut whatever exploit is was down ASAP. I think the reason they haven't done so with the 3DS is because of how big the outcry would be

That moment when I realize my WiiU IS an updated 1.1.0 8gb launch WiiU...

 

[KungFuzion]

The only way you get ban so far on the 3ds is using a shitty sky card or using public headers on GW. I use headers from games I own & I play online a lot. Touch wood I'm still ok with my GW card.

OP updated. Maybe hopefully we will hear less of the "gimme romz loader plz" crowd??

They're showing support of a rom loader, if they're merely saying "I'd like to see a USB loader sometime" I don't see what your problem is. If they were asking if there was one made yet, or begging for someone to make one, than I can see the annoyance.

You called?

That is directly related to a "piracy" thread. Why have a thread on piracy and get butt hurt when people who support it ask for a loader?

 

[KungFuzion]

I'm all for a loader being released. I like having a cover flow to select what title I feel like playing. The wiiu has been out for a long while now & with nintendo working on the NX, I really don't see the big issue with everyone banging on about piracy. It's going to happen at some point anyway.

One of the most primal instincts in humans is to want what they don't have.
