Piracy is not good progress. It leads to 3rd party devs not making any games for the Wii U.
That's right, but what I meant was the aspect of the WiiU itself being hacked; not being exposed to piracy.
This doesn't do anything except promote piracy. How is that in any way good progress?
Because console power doesn't equal game fun. Fucking duh.
For the Wii, the Wii didn't get many of games because it was underpowered. They would run bad and look worse on the Wii. Even the games that did get ported to the Wii look worse, lack game modes, etc.
If this modchip can grant access to playing games illegally, I'm sure other modchips can be created to do other things like unlocking region blocks, etc.
Modchips just change the data being fed to the system. If the system won't run unsigned code or boot out-of-region games (and check+execute is in the same timeframe), then it doesn't matter how you feed it to the system, the system will reject it.
Without the common key, all it can do is run official software.
Modchips don't need a common key. Modchips work by overriding or replacing the systems (WiiU in this case) protected hardware or software using an exploit.
Interesting to ask the maker of WiikeyU, to be honest. Lets see what they were able to get. If they were they able to get? Might it help homebrew?
