Hi everybody!
This is my first because I usually just read new releases etc.
But this topic has ticked me really off because people just
throw with assumptions and speculation around without a single thought.
There are just some things I want to mention:
1. Quit posting "it's fake/it's not fake". Nobody really knows
without reliable proof or more time to be sure it is fake.
It is just irritating and totatly useless without any proof...
2. Why should Nintendo really want to detect modchips?
They made it really easy in the first place to circumvent
the protection in making sure to keep almost all vulnerabilities
which were used for gamecube modchips.
3. IF they really want to fight modded Wiis then there are some
methods which could do that at least when a backup is inserted.
e.g.
http://www.wiili.org/index.php/Drivechip#Drivechip_Detection
If this would really work is still argueable but it is plausible possibility
which would obviously work for ALL current modchips.
(The d2ckey might be the exception that proofs the rule...)
4. The picture of the error code is no proof whatsoever.
Give me 15 minutes and I display every error message you want
on my tv screen. Just photoshop a nice image and connect your pc to
your television or even burn the image to a cd-r and display it using
almost all current dvd players...
Give me a day and I might even be able to capture the normal Wii
menu, cut a small "intro video" for Mario Galaxy from some game demos,
compile it into the original wii video, display it again on the tv and capture it
using a camcorder...
This is just a little warning that you can never be sure wether
unconfirmed information on the internet is true or not.
Finally I don't really know if it is fake or not either.
Just wait...
