Exactly, its ignorance at its best right there. Its also impressive in how people have come together and shared their work, its a great feeling to be a part of a community that wants to unlock the full potential of such a system. And he just writes it off as no big deal. Fuck that, I'm impressed and glad these people do this work. He may be ungrateful, but I hope the developers of these applications realize that not all consumers of their work are like this. I am very thankful for all the work that has been done in the Wii hacking scene. Thats my only point here.
to sum it up all, the logic boards behind all the hardware you see, seems to share a similar functionality. The main problem with wii is... the code must run on the "hipervisor" cpu, or the starlet, and you gotta basically build a low level system driver (for the whole wii) when USB 2.0 is enabled(most sysbus is connected directly to starlet, correct me if i'm wrong)... or modify an existing one and inyect your own modules..
generally speaking it's a nightmare if you're testing code and the thing freezes up the entire system becase a simple bit messed it up all. So it's not that easy to figure it out

Normally I would do the whole be the bigger man bit but I will have to accuse the two of you of making ill formed conclusions. My point was not that history in other consoles means anything but once it was seen that code could be loaded from various mediums without much in the way of restrictions it was more or less a done deal.

Now there might be something to be said for marcan being fairly well entrenched in the Wii by this point and thus being able to draw upon a lot more than most and regardless I am half impressed that enough open source types got it together (it would be impressive even on projects of significantly greater worth and given the history of the warez world that probably goes double) to get to the point of spinning boxart and shiny table effect loaders. I still contend it is not enough to warrant my standing in unreserved awe though.
