Could hacking my Wii and going online with it cause an ip ban that could affect other nintendo devices? Thanks!

Outside of what is usually termed a film plot in security circles then as the official Wii services are defunct (or all but) then no. Even if they were up it would be a stretch for console hacking to see such a thing.

The earlier stuff with an early stage hacker being banned that you might be basing this on variously turned out that the other device was possibly used to test a hack and was not so clean as first thought, that or as said hacker posed a real threat to Nintendo where if you are asking this sort of question you will not be.

If you were to cheat online, could a ban affect other devices like I described?
There is no online to cheat on in the first place...

There's Wiimmfi but if you get banned that just means you won't be able to play on Wiimmfi servers anymore and obviously... the ban would only apply to Wiimmfi

No it wouldn't be a problem, but there's no reason to use the Shop Channel anyways since it's been shutdown.

Basically there's no way a modded Wii could affect any other Nintendo online services.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
