Who's to say Jay couldn't release an untested channel and brick someone's Wii?
That being the reason he risks his own console , and providing us with screenshots and such to show what it is , does and looks like

At least if I were to post a guide, someone could decide whether or not they want to trust it before they blindly install it.
Sure a tutorial gives you an option to follow it or not, and test it knowing the risk but , I only see JayParadox method as limiting the risk for the end user.

I was referring to the fact that Nintendo developed the kit to easily make decode and make banners. While that might not be what he's using, it is something that apparently got leaked.
If that was all he was using, why not make that clear and "get everyone off his back"?
So you are actually stating that someone should release the source before knowing it is user proof ... ever thought about the concern many authors put in something they release ?
They have to put themselves in the shoes of the end user to try and keep their users safe of harm. Thats more or less what JP is doing. Protecting people form themselves.
QUOTE(teq @ May 16 2008, 02:22 AM) So you would be comfortable with someone keeping your intellectual property a secret and using it to make it seem like it was of their own conception?
When did JP ever state he was using a self created tool for this ?
Further if the output of a file normally is a or b and someone is capable of making z come out wouldn't you appreciate that if z was something which helped you ?
I understand you would question the how but wouldn't you first be thankfull for what was created.
