lou_weed said:Nintendo won't "activate" any IOS37 in near future because :
- Nintendo is the ONLY company who creates consoles and actually makes profit off the hardware.
- Nintendo's 1st party games actually makes money (their piracy is minimal , for example - Mario kart comes with the wheel , so even if you downloaded the game , they make some money off your 10$ wheel..)
- Such a move (banning chipped consoles/homebrew ) would make a lot of noise (like M$'s move with the x360) and negative appeal in the crowd. Ninty doesnt want that.
Nintendo won't activate IOS37 in the far future because :
- the homebrew community will be much wider until then, with a media center expansion/advanced browser etc.
- more people (hardcore gamers) will buy the wii because of the homebrew apps and because the wii has already been hacked.
- Ninty will still make profit on the hardware (unlike Sony/M$) so why should they ban ?

Thanks for the info, Nelson, but I'll be the last person to mourn after VC backups...with Homebrew and Wiiware channels however it's a different story and no laughing matterarctic_flame said:Vater Unser said:Only PAL gamers who are stupid enough to actually wait until the late PAL release of SSBB would feel the warth of IOS37, if it indeed gets released with SSBB.
I'M FEELING THE WARTH!!!
I'M FEELING THE WART!!!
The IOS37 update doesn't even fix the Twilight Hack, so all the homebrew stuff (and even pirated VC and WiiWare channels) should work even after the IOS37 update is activatedJacobeian said:QUOTE

Why not?
They have already had the money for your console, and you are pirating and not bringing them any more revenue ... so why shouldn't they brick your machine?
Perhaps, but when that is to install the stuff. If it's installed, the thing that's put on your Wii, is that still something signed with trucha? Cause I believed the installed content was the same as a real VC thing.Jacobeian said:QUOTE said:The IOS37 update doesn't even fix the Twilight Hack, so all the homebrew stuff (and even pirated VC and WiiWare channels) should work even after the IOS37 update is activated

The only reason you can install hacked WAD files on your wii IS because of the Signature bug
If this is eventually fixed, bye bye pirated channels
Becourse that would really DESTROY Nintendo's name.Bob Evil said:Sotoro said:No company would bricking their own systems.

I agree. I honestly doubt Nintendo would do anything as big as bricking systems with "unauthorized devices." It's too big of a risk to take for a company like Nintendo.superrob said:Becourse that would really DESTROY Nintendo's name.Bob Evil said:Sotoro said:No company would bricking their own systems.

And they will have to replace many and MANY Wii's.
