Hacking Nintendo stamps its feet!!!!

[bubbleboy]

Everyone just keep their pants on, wait 6 months, and all these VC games will be playable on fully-fledged emulators for pretty much every system up to and including the PSX, in full Wii mode using the Wiimote and any optional attachments.

OH MY DOOOMSDAAAAYYYYY!! Puh-lease...are you people new or what? This is the same thing everything hacked goes through. If you are truely THAT worried about bricking your systems, don't hack/use hb/pirate etc...or better yet, keep your damn systems off the internet. I am soo tired of the "omgzerz any day now we(wii) will diiieee!!" Trust me, this stuff is nothing compared to the back and forth with sattilite programming...

Yes, but this is really easy voor the big N to detect and even easier for them to pull ban trigger on you. Or even disable your wii from working. And they should.

If you are worried about being banned then dont download the games! simple

Look on the bright side, Buying a replacement Wii isnt as expensive as replacing a banned 360!!

Isn't that illegal to do so?

Yes.

They can ban you from NWC, but not like any games uses it anyway.

Nintendo can bite my shiny metal ass....

You sound angry, maybe you should just go yoyo or something.

haha, hello mate. I've put about 2 hours in today already.... I'll probably do some more before the day is out

I expected some sort of backlash from Nintendo about this, its fair enough that this is piracy & I expect they will try to permenantly prevent it in some way. but I don't feel bad for getting VC games in this way. I've spent so much money on Nintendo products over the years, I reckon its time I got something back. Back then I paid like £140 for a SNES for christ's sake. And £40 per game. It sucks to pay another £5 just to play it on Wii.

Nope it's not, it's in the license agreement.

You still need a mod-chip in order to install the VC games. And ofcourse hacking falls into the same category.

No you dont need a modchip to install the VC games!! Damn these ill informed n00bs are getting on my tits now!

 

[Sinkhead]

seems like waninkoko pussied out

To be perfectly honest, 'pussying out' is exactly what I would do if I was faced with a cease and desist letter from a multi-billion dollar company about an issue as serious as this. Or just find good offshore web hosting.
