Great, now we can play inferior ports for free.
Double-edged sword, aint it? Nobody wants to buy a Nintendo console till it gets hacked, then once it gets hacked, everyone complains about the shit games coming out.

People are pre-ordering this for "homebrew".. yeah right. lol
When PSP got hacked what was the "homebrew" for? Playing backups.
too bad there's no games worth playingI guess we can expect playing Wii u backups within the next couple of months
I'm really keen to know how they plan to attain the drive key which is needed to emulate the drive.
The key is unique per console and saved within the OTP of the Wii U.
Of course there are people who will just play their own backups, but 99% of the users interested in such a device will want it for pure piracy.You guys talk about playing off backups as if only pirates do it. I buy my games, and I'm constantly having to replace disks because of minor scratches (I have 3D World and it's basically got one extremely thin scratch no longer than a couple of millimeters, won't play).
Until these game manufacturers come up with a way for a legit backup or at least a low cost disc exchange program, I will wholeheartedly support anyone who hacks for the purpose of playing backups.
you don't have to worry we pirates are way more interested in the SDK leak than playing backupsYou guys talk about playing off backups as if only pirates do it.
A solder-free ODE for the Wii U? If this gets real - R.I.P... Nintendo... your security always sucked.
On the other side: An (maybe expensive) ODE for just a few Nintendo-Only Titles? The only thing that (maybe) could save Nintendo is, if they are able to block online-play. The online feature is very important for Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bro Brawl.

If you're going to be playing pirated copies at least have the decency to be honest about it.
There are non piracy reasons for wanting backups. People want to protect their originals. They want all their games in one place, not some on the console and some in the other room on a bookshelf. They want to play imports. I was in the UK but couldn't buy any used games, because no way to play imports right now. They want to be able to backup their save files to their computer. They want to be able to do offline cheating, sometimes cheat codes can make the game more difficult or more fun. These features come with well developed backup loaders.

but there's no gaems worth piratingRight, time to buy a WiiU.
The hell do you do to your poor disks?
Minor scratches my ass. The only time i've ever had a disk fail was way back with my Super Smash Bros Melee, and that's because there was about half a million scratches on the poor thing from absurd amounts of use and abuse. It takes a hell of a lot to make a disk unreadable, even today with blu-ray disks being rather sensitive. So that's a horrible excuse.
What do you consider a smart tv? My tv is not labeled as a smart tv (no internet or apps), but it has played any video file I have plugged into its usb port.Not everyone has a Smart TV, not to mention that a console is infinitely beefier than a Smart TV. A homebrew media player can be coded to support playback of just about anything at any quality as long as there's enough CPU juice available.
