Wii FreeLoader is out and Shipping

[Twiffles]

I remember the PS2 Gameshark was exploited so you can use it to play backups, same goes for the AR on PS2.

 

[Costello]

Well if your wii is modded, using a backup of the freeloader could probably let your Wii boot backups from all regions, right?
Unless the freeloader performs its own check on DVDs, but that'd be very pointless.

 

[Shuny]

I doubt Freeloader is using another method than the one used by modchips

And I doubt they will let people launching backup because this would give to Nintendo a reason to block the Freeloader with an update. I don't think they care about the freeloader itself

If they didn't care, why'd they put the region lock in it in the first place?

Wasn't the Utopia Boot CD for Dreamcast based on the Gameshark also?

To block almost everybody who don't have a modchip. I don't think they care about 5% of Wii owners who bypasses the region security

I wonder if this removes updates and still lets the games boot. If so, I'm sure it will be implemented into WiiBrickBlocker or a similar app soon.
Whatever this uses, us modchip owners will most likely get a no-swap alternative.

I'm curious about how well this works though, since no one else has managed 100% region free yet.

but does it work on wii?

*sighs*

Why do you think its call Wii FreeLoader? and why do you think it it says:

QUOTEyou can import games from other territories and play them on your Wii…

and it has "For Nintendo Wii" on the front

FFS!
