May I direct you over to the Riivolution release thread where people are demanding source so they can steal it and put it in USB loaders?Bumpman said:
Or how about any of the many sites on the Internet that were (still are) stealing stuff like the HBC and editing it to credit themselves while selling it?
I thought we would have pretty much killed any doubt about that by making the new version run without needing to install anything.
In the other thread I just honestly wondered why functions weren't included, I had no idea it would be all that. I almost feel guilty for asking.
By the way, that last comment makes absolutely no sense. whether it's ninty in the installer or somewhere else hid and compiled, your project is under a lot of scrutiny and will be till the source is released. This is a nice little project legal or not, but, sometimes you have to prove yourself for any kind recognition among the mass.
release ??
1.) Stingy butts if you don't, oh well patch the iso, go somewhere else for a fix.
2.)Hey thanks, you guys are great and awesome if you do.

I just wanted to state I think it's sad that the homebrew community has resorted to this level of civil fighting. I'm a proponent of open software, interoperability, and compatibility. I think stuff like HBC, RawkSD, Riivolution, are fantastic ways to expand the Wii beyond it's limited capabilities (also known as
Piracy and theft are 2 totally different things.
A pirate that would never have bought something doesn't take anything away from a company. A thief does. You can't compare the two unless you are naive and uneducated.

Just chiming in to say that this argument is stupid. cIOSes most likely don't work because Riivolution probably expects certain blocks of code to appear at certain offsets/modules, and because cIOSes can change these around, there's no way to find which part of the code to patch. And because there are multiple cIOSes out there, it's just easier to support the official one only. USB loaders can probably support file replacement quite easily by themselves, if not now, then with a new cIOS that does it for them. (I guarantee if this is necessary, somebody will make one eventually. Be it Waninkoko or Hermes or whoever.)

This is all just because one ignorant person made an assumption about the old build. If you read carefully about how he (incorrectly) guessed it worked, you'll see why not installing anything blows his theory out of the water.ChokeD said:
Funny how I don't see anyone accusing TT of using copyright code in HBC. Especially when it's been documented on the hackmii blog that they have access to legit, signed TMDs that can give them full access to all the wii's hardware without running any software exploits.
(I'm not accusing them myself; I know well enough why that method is unnecessary.)
People also use waninkoko's cios installers all the time without questioning their content. They download most of their content from NUS, but who knows what might be included in the installer itself?
If you suspected Windows or OSX to contain someone else's copyright code, do you think the maker would willingly hand over a copy of the source code for you to look at?
And here we go again...
Some people seem to never understand the difference between "anti piracy" and "not wanting to support piracy". They always think there's always either "pro piracy" and "anti piracy". This isn't like black and white. There are more different opinions.
We decided not to support piracy for a very simple reason - the full names of various "members" of TT are well known. We just don't want to be associated with piracy. None of us cares if you pirate >9000 games and play them on your Wii. That's your decision and not ours. We just don't want to be the ones who directly wrote the code that allowed you to do that. Believe me, if we really were anti piracy you'd have a much harder time at installing HBC or even using the HackMii installer when we detected that you are a pirate (modchips are quite easy to identify, we can already find fakesigned IOSes and detecting SNEEK isn't rocket science either).
Why do you even care about this application? You can _already_ do what this allows you to do yourself with all your great warezloaders. Just directly replace this files in the ISO file. This application just allows people who still buy their games to do the same thing you've been able to do for many months now. Yes, it may be a bit more convenient but your "load games from hdd" is probably a bit convenient too, isn't it?
And there also is a legit reason for refusing to work with crapIOSFAIL: They are patching IOS on-the-fly. You cannot do that unless you are really sure that the IOS currently running really is IOS37 revision $whatever.

Are you talking about a specific kind of Modchip (Flatmod, drive emulator, drivechip) here or is this so for every chip out there? For if those chips can be easily detected, I wonder why Nintendo did not try to do so again after Error #001 was fixed.svpe said:

I feel like school, back when I was actually in school, was more entertaining though, because of how much I get to interact with people, hang out with friends, and other stuff like that. All I get to talk to at work is my boring coworkers lol -

Anybody here have a Xbox series S and a series X, is the performance difference noticeable? Not worried about 4k. I have a series X but not a series S and was curious. (Reason- I was thinking of buying a series S for a second tv, for when grandkids come over, to keep them off my X)
