Wait.. does this mean that... Maxconsoles allegedly "superior" chip which is "upgradeable" is having the same problem as the Wiinja?

You could detect the wiinja by the fact that the drive has gone into debug mode etc etc, and games could always load a first stage piece of code and force reauth of the disc before going any further which I doubt the wiinja will be able to overcome.


The GC was a bit long in the tooth for nintendo to consider the cost of redesign/retooling to prevent modding when the first chip came out but it's about now nintendo should be shipping the first bug fixed hardware, maybe with a modded drive.

*Waits for all the people that don't know what an opcode, register blah blah is to pull random reasons why nintendo can't fix the exploits in their own console out of their arse*

Could you explain this a bit more in detail? I'd buy a wiinja (or one of the other ones..) directly if it weren't for the fact that we don't know if N can render it useless with a simple FW-upgrade. I was under the impression that the chips replace the byte(s) that says "burned media" with the byte(s) that mean "genuine media" thus not breaking the signature. This would be hard to catch. It appears as if I have misunderstood or oversimplified something, could you shed some light on this? I would sure appreciate it.

Well I got my replacement Wii last Friday because my first one from launch day had the chicken pox (dots on display).
Just opened her up and she does NOT have the dodgy chip. Mines a GC2-DMS!

So I guess if you have a new Wii it is still able to have the compatible chips in it.

i see people buying the chip that works with the modchips, and them desoldering the chip that causes incompatibility and resoldering the controller chip that all the modchips were designed for. "It's just a bit more soldering, is all"

Nintendo sees and feels the pain of pirates. Nintendo then laughs at the pain and pirates. And in one swift move Nintendo becomes a bit more like Chuck Norris.

Dam, i should be quoted on that.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
