Hacking Nintendo stamps its feet!!!!

[squirt1000]

Looks like Nintendo are none too happy with Mr Waninkoko and his tools....

His site http://waninkoko.wiinewz.com/ has been taken down and now redirects to the Nintendo legal page!!

 

[DrKupo]

seems like waninkoko pussied out

 

[Toxicwind]

That isn't the correct address... http://wii.waninkoko.info/

 

[yumms]

Its still up http://wii.waninkoko.info/

 

[stev418]

Well, this site is open still http://wii.waninkoko.info/

but none of the file link work anymore.

 

[squirt1000]

Sweet, This can be considered closed in that case

 

[Bob Loblaw]

still pretty weird that the first link brings you to a copyright infringement page..

 

[squirt1000]

Its probably something wiinewz has done.

 

[Tanas]

The only link that works is the link to WAD Installer v1.1

 

[cherryduck]

Can I just point out, that 'Nintendo' legal page doesn't look legit to me at all. Plus none of the links on the Nintendo site work, whats really going on here?

 

[mothball]

Yeah, it's real. The links are all broken because that page hasn't been updated since 2000.

And yeah, it's probably a joke by wiinewz.

 

[g4jek8j54]

Yeah, I think that Wiinewz did that. According to xaiNaix, Nintendo sent a cease and desist to their host, which mentioned the WADinstaller...

Any discussion of hacking Virtual Console games is "inappropriate" and will be deleted. Nintendo has already issued a cease and desist to our host. Surprisingly, it only mentioned the WADinstaller on Waninkoko's subdomain, nothing about the main site. This was obviously sent before all of these "cracked' games were released so you can bet your ass they will be even grumpier once they see what is going on now.

For those who haven't thought about it, each firmware update from Nintendo comes with a warning that modifying your console could cause it to stop functioning. If they take measures to detect "cracked" V.C. games (which they could very easily do, it would be possible for them to send you an update which stops your Wii from working at all. Keep that in mind if you plan on trying any of this stuff.

Very good. It wouldn't be right if Nintendo didn't try to defend themselves.

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...
