Just a short Public Service Announcement for our users, particularly the ones who like their Homebrew on Nintendo platforms. The Homebrew community tends to be positive and participating in it is a recipe for a good time, but no group of people is free of bad actors with too much time on their hands. We have reason to believe that in the near future we'll see a lot of suspicious uploads of innocent-looking applications that are actually concealed console brickers and viruses. We came across a disconcerting threat against our site, among others, made by a Wii malware creator.

The safety of our users is our number one priority, so we strongly urge forum-goers to be weary of applications uploaded to the site recently, particularly if they come from relatively new accounts. We apologise for this inconvenience, but sadly there is little we can do besides staying vigilant and dealing swiftly with any and all suspicious content.

Stay safe, and keep on Tempin'!

This is so messed up... and that people is breathing the same air I am.... DISGUSTING.

What correlation does oxygen and wii hackers have?

this mightve been a mis-step on my end, as they also appear on the riiconnect24 patcher.

KcrPL has been a helpful member of the community for a good while, I suspect his name is there to stir up drama, although he's welcome to confirm or deny in his own time. I don't want to put anyone on blast here, the "guilty party" is fairly obvious.

Gotcha. It'd be nice to get them to reveal whatever hashes they've made etc so we can have those for protection purposes.

Thanks!

Please don't hurt my Wii, there are too many memories inside it.... And there goes my innuendo joke.... Damnit.

What I am also wondering is why everyone is reacting this way to a 11 year old console. Like, even if you are affected you can get another one for less than $20. I fail to see how this is such a big deal.

Priiloader Killer - Restore with Priiloader you say? Take this!

Man, haven't heard of Priiloader in awhile


Anyway, why go after the wii? Seems like a ploy to distract people from other stuff.

The wii...

They are about 10 years too late into this.

I dunno, but people like me where I have tons of saves, and other modded shit on my Wii. But let's not get started on how many nostalgic memories I have with this system.

I guess that's fair. But then again. You could just backup your saves and homebrew and put them somewhere that it would be untouched.

The internet brings out the worst in people. What a bunch of douchebags...

It might be a good idea to wait a while before installing anything from people you haven't heard of before.
After a while the feedback will give you an idea whether it's safe to use or not.

Also make sure the people giving the ok AREN'T RELATED because if they have a connection they might say it is safe and then it bricks your Wii

Got to consider the contents their Wiis hold. A gamer's nightmare is losing all progress in their games.

 

[Essasetic]

Let me also point out that if you really care about your system and saves and can't tell between what is safe and dangerous. You should not be tampering with it in the first place. It always comes with its risks and it'll be on you if something happens to your console.

At the end of the day, that's a nightmare in of itself for backing all those up and restoring everything, not just save files to a new Wii. Also gotta remod it, if possible, and restore a ton of shit. But let's not get started on how you have to run the game and create a new save to install a backed up save.

Yeah true. But at the end of the day, just use common sense and don't download anything fishy.

I may just be paranoid, but it kinda feels like someone hired these guys to kill the Wii modding community.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

What would someone have to gain except to have a chance at killing Wii modding.

 

[Essasetic]

Yeah you are quite paranoid. Also, this won't kill the Wii modding community. If you use that logic then every console modding community would be dead in the water by now.

The sad part is some good guy some where who is learning how to code for the 1st time is working on his real homebrew. who about to release his homebrew will have no downloads. poor guy.




to the wankers who are behind this get pay for some pussies you pussies.

It is a shame. But they could always share the source code for proof there's no malicious content involved. It's what I would do if there's a threat of brick code being hidden in homebrew apps
