Hacking Installing VC games

[deadthings]

Ninty will know who has done what. The worst they can do is ban them from using the shop, and perhaps in the future with a game forced firmware update to stop them playing online. Legally it is only a civil crime, because they have not done this for profit so there is zero chance of a criminal conviction. At least in Europe that is where laws are slightly sane.

Being a civil matter they could take action to recover losses, but it would be costly and they could end up trying to sue kids, which never looks good in the press.

Also the actual value of these titles is very little, if anything. Ninty are ripping people off with the cost of some of these. I mean charging 500 points for a web browser!

I'm certainly not worried, but then I'm using the emulators because they seem just as good anyway.

People using a hack in order to hit the shop channel and download 'free' VC games have some balls on them I must say. Your IP address is there on show in their logs, you may as well leave your phone number there too.

There are software houses using the torrents with false files that report your ip address and sand it to them in order to catch people downloading their stuff for free and you've all just gave Nintendo your IP without them even having to lift a finger.

They could find out your ISP within 10 seconds using a quick whois search, one phone call later, they know who you are. It would take them literally minutes to catch you.

Unless I'm missing something drastically here.

Am i the only one who has a problem with this comment?

This comment seems true to me. I would like to add that Nintendo has log from your wii serial and can easily say if you bought or not the VC game. And you won't be able to say : I lend it from someone else. There s no way to make them believe that

Moreover, next game asking for IOS37 and all will be lost

Hi there! I have a strange issue that it seems noone has ..when I try to install a game, everything works fine, the VC channel installes properly, but when I start it all I get is a black screen and when I press "home" i can see the game stopped in background. I've tried SMB and DK2 and I have the same problem with both. Any ideas?? Ive tried wab installer 1.1 and 1.0 and I tried to redownload both games but nothing unsure.gif I've also tried to delete the channels and download them from the Wii Shop, everything goes fine but I still can't play them, I just get a black flikering screen frown.gif

Are you sure you have a PAL wii? These releases are for PAL systems not NTSC-U or J.

Yes it's PAL!

C'mon .. Please help!

are you using a component cable?

Yes but I bought Super Mario World with the Wii Points and it works perfectly!!

Try loading the game in 480p, then press the Home button, the Wii menu should pop up, if you go to the operation guide then, making sure you have the nunchuck in, press A + 2 + Z (bit of a hand mangler), it should 'ping', then when you press home it should work just fine. I tried this and it worked with everything so far except Donkey Kong Junior.
Also, to get it back to...erm...non-interleaved mode, you can press A + 1 + Z. Just make sure you enter the operation guide first.

Don't get me wrong, I do like the idea of playing backups and roms. I'm talking about the people who are installing the VC game, deleting them then logging onto the shop to download them for free.

It seems a lot different to me. It's one thing to play a backup, another to install a hack that lets you download stuff from their shop for free.

So it's okay to steal a game that costs $50 but a VC game that costs $10 max is wrong? lol

No, I'm talking about Nintendo dealing with pirates. If this VC hack was for people with modded wii's only and a few pirates were installing some VC titles to their menu then Ninty probably wouldn't give a toss. But now that anyone can install a hack on an unmodded wii that enables them to download games for free from their shop then that's different.

There is no way Nintendo will be happy with that at all and will be trying to stop it as we speak. They've tried a few scare tactics already this week with their 'chip it and brick it' bullshit statement and "You can't play Mario Kart on a chipped wii". Who's to say they don't make a few people scapegoats by contacting their ISP's and sending a few nasty letters just like the other software houses are doing with the torrent users. I'm just making an observation, take it or leave it.

well,unlike you,most of us live in countries where the isp doesnt just "give out" personal details behind ip-addresses..
Only instance when that would happen were if the police where to show them a court order demanding it..which they wont get for something like this..so just go away and try to scare some little kiddies..

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about so I will go away.

And read up on "Davenport Lyons" if you want to see how quick ISP's are willing to give away your details.

Just how many people do you think are pirating the VC games? Considering the Wii has sold in excess of 20,000,000 units worldwide, I'd guess 1,000 people have installed a pirated VC game, times that by 10 for arguments sake. If 10,000 individual people install a pirated game. That's only 0.05% of all Wiis sold being used to pirated VC games. Hardly epidemic.

You also have to consider potential monetary loss for Nintendo. You could employ the RIAA's "every download is a sale lost argument" but that's bullshit. For me, a person with the inclination to download, execute and install a VC game, is the kind of person likely and able to just use an emulator and would never have bought from Nintendo in the first place, so no monetary loss there.

If you're going to chastise people for installing pirated VC games you should also do it for those creating, running and supplying emulators. After all, all Nintendo care about is it business interests, i.e profit.

I know very well what I am talking about..
e.g Sweden: The Anti-pirate lobby group (which sees itself as a form of police) is continously trying to get hold of ISP info for companies etc.. THERE ARE LAWS saying the ISP's cannot give them out..
And as I already said..most of us live in countries where this applies.. you apparently do not,to bad for you

..and if you read through some articles of Davenport Lyons ..you pretty quickly get the picture that they are trying to enforce one countries rules on people from a differant country..yeah right.. Me and most other don't give a flying f* about what laws in the us/uk we are breaching, as long as we ain't doing it locally theres nothing to stop ya..
