Lol. air to breathe is on its way. Be a responsible developer and you will succeed.

Thanks for contributing to the scene.

I'm sorry but I loled at his sig. Just look at the way system is spelt.

Anyway, I personally think it's impressive that a 12 year old is taking the initiative to contribute something like this. Sure, it's far from perfect, and probably isn't a great idea for it to be public, but I command his effort.

vidboy nice work and nice tool sorry the peps where hatin but could you make this for 3.2 also that would be awesome i would appreciate it

So this is more or less just a System WAD? You know those things are illegal to distribute in this way, right?

 

[icefireicefire]

yep, 9th_sage, this is NOTHING special

Well, 'System WAD' was my first thought, and svpe confirmed it. Heck, I don't consider myself a *ahem* 1337 hacker and I could have done something like this using (for example) NUS Downloader.

Its completely pointless because you need wad manager to use it. And if you can access wad manager, there is plenty of other faster and safer ways to fix your wii.

If any of you are still in doubt as to whether or not this "fix" is a fix for anything or could possibly harm your Wii, take a look at this thread where Vidboy10 recommends this fix to a guy with a weird Wii issue. Remember how this "fix" can't possibly brick/fuck a Wii? Tell that to the poor sap who listened to Vidboy10 and used this to try and fix his weird semi-brick/corruption problem on Vidboy10's recommendation in the thread. The net result? One dead Wii.

Vidboy10, I realise you're trying to help people but you're not knowledgeable enough on the subject to give out that advice. If I were the OP of the thread I posted above I'd pretty much be holding you responsible for that Wii because he could at least run apps on it prior to listening to you. What you're doing IS dangerous, probably illegal (due to the content of the wad) and simply doesn't do what it says on the tin.

I sent the guy an apology in the PM's and he replied and said this.

hey, don't worry about that.
Since the first day I started with this homebrew stuff I knew this could happen

thanks for trying to help, I appreciate it

But im probably going to tell a mod to lock this since im going to work on something better.

Agreed 100%.

Then Vidboy10 runs away from that thread, never posting back since.

Yep, it's a good WAD, a nice one indeed. But a few problems:

1)Illegal
2)It bricks Wiis

And when you start working on something better, test the app yourself first. Then do a closed-beta so that other people who has the balls to test your app to test it on their Wiis. Once confirmed no one has bricked, then you release it

Due to all the gray areas, I'm locking this thread and would suggest that making a simpler gun for people who are new to guns is probably not a good path to take.

Good luck in your future endeavors, sincerely.
