Hacking Pay 29$ for something free!

[wolffangalchemist]

you'll just get a letter:


"Dear Customer,

Visit wiibrew.org, and the forums at gbatemp.net. Enjoy.

We Rule."

so it's a joke? or do you actualy pay for that info?

I think its just a big scam, meh... i hate scams

Each donate 1$ to a appreciated member who buys this peace of shit ... sounds like an idea, right?

So basically, you're actually buying LoZ TP for $29 or they don't give that to you. I'd buy it for the game[29 bucks for TP is amazing], but if it doesn't come with it, it's a big scam..

EDIT: Never mind, they make it sound like a separate disc.

And holding down Up+Down+Left+Right on a GCN pad in any slot should fix the problem... What retardedness. And wtf is the "Wii Channel"

* Can I access the Wii Channel while I have HomebreWare installed on my console?

Yes you can.

I was looking for a way to unlock my Wii so I can play backup games,I was looking into several methods to do this, the devices that allowed me to do this were priced over 100$, and were hard to install, there was also the risk that the warranty would be voided and my wii would be damaged in the process.
HomebreWare solved all my problems, with the simple software I was able to unlock my Wii in less than 15 minutes, without even touching any hardware components.

The kit was really simple to follow, it took me minimal effort to get it running. I had a few questions about this system and the technical support was very professional and answered them within 30 minutes.

Such common names make them sound fake.

first persons last sentence is the same as the only sentence on the second person.

Well... I bit just for fun and bought this.

Essentially this guy is selling a Homebrew Guide , more or less, and including the needed software (Except Zelda) "free". According to him, you are paying for the setup guide.

My thoughts: If you are a complete homebrew newbie, and have NO idea how to get started, this guide would work for you. It pretty much takes you by the hand and gets you all setup.

For most of us with some technical know-how, it's not really worth it. All the information in his homebrew manual can be found online for free IF you know where to look.

This is definatly a case of some people seeing "HomebreWare" as a value, and others seeing it as a scam.

If you actually believe what you just said, you're the one who's selling this.

regardless it takes otherwise free materials and profits off them, this essitialy is what a scam or con is there is no way around that.
anyone can copy paste a guide on how to play backed up games and homebrew off the Internet and sell it for profit, i have seen it done many times, ppl fall hard for it too.
if you confront these ppl with your claims they either ignore you or give you the same answer(which of course is wrong) over and over again.

I do feel bad for the victims ("suckers") of such scams....at least this isn't a huge amount of money, the problem is that they may very well be identity thiefs as well.

 

[jtopicz1]

I agree.

The charge was run through by "Clickbank" which apparantly is some sort of digital product retailer. I ran a google on them and they seem to be legitimate, though many of their products are questionable.

The guy posting the videos and the blog was likely an affiliate. As best I can tell, the product owners email is [email protected]

 

[sniffysniper]

so you are paying $29 for a pdf file which gives info about software that people write in their free time for free... thats just sick i'd rather donate it to someone who wrote a app.

so very true that's a better idea.
if you bought this you might as well have handed your wallet to a un-armed thief.
