This program is meant to play original games and it only requires a verification once, thats really good imo and nothing annoying. I just dont wanna hear which software and hardware you use to bypass it
It would be just better to hear how people talk about how much fun gc games make and not how to play warez.
How is any verification good, much less one that is completely arbitrary and an inconvenience to many legitimate users? Guess what? My games
are "original". People tell you "back up your games into a digital format so that way if you lose them or they become destroyed, you won't be fucked". Of the game backups that I made several years ago, only a handful of the discs remain in useable condition; some were lost, others rendered unreadable; and the discs that I still have weren't ripped to 1:1 copies, so they're still useless to me. My games are in a digital format, and I am still fucked. I understand that some people on this forum would rather
suck up to fuel tueidj's ego and find no fault in his work than to voice displeasure with it and tell him how some of his design choices contribute to a lower-quality experience for some end-users (afterall, he might throw a shitfit because of negative criticism and cease development; really though, it's constructive criticism, but it's not like he responds to it), but to say that any sort of preventable inconvenience, regardless of its size, is "good" is absurd.
Furthermore, discussing the bypass of verification to play backups isn't discussing "how to play wares", it's discussing "how to play backups" or "how to get the most out of this software". There's no reason to have that kind of cynical attitude, and even if it were true, hurting legitimate users to punish the pirates is not the proper action, it is not the right action. When a company like Nintendo places restrictions on their hardware and software, people decide that it has to be hacked to death to unlock further potential and ability, but when a hobby programmer releases something with arbitrary restrictions, suddenly it's ok to accept them? The only reason tueidj is able to do this for himself (it may be released to the public, but he doesn't have the public in mind) in the first place is because others decided to work around Nintendo's limiting restrictions.
And to those who say "use some other program then": if everybody had that attitude then there wouldn't be a Wii homebrew scene, there wouldn't be people pushing to get the most out of software and hardware; they would just move over to a more user-friendly product that already allowed them to do what they wish. That's a poor
defeatist attitude to have.
With that being said, I do applaud tueidj on his program's support for games with audio streaming; that's the only thing that it holds over DIOS MIOS for right now.
