Hacking Wii Points

[jakeruston]

Hi,

A few friends have been asking - Has anyone been able to hack Wii Points yet to increase them or a keygen for them or something, or even being able to put Virtual Console games onto an SD and playing them?

It seems a while ago since I heard about it, I wonder if anyones done it yet.

Thanks,
Jake.

The codes are all stored on a database, so it's impossible to generate random codes.

Free wii points in sig

someone should start a website where everyone can submit their USED wiipoints codes to a website. surely with thousands of codes the algorithm for the codes could be found.

right?

Illegal and impossible unless your like a high ranked Nintendo Guy.

Yh vc games havnt been hacked yet..i think the only vc game taht works without u need 2 have purchased it 1st is fzero but im not sure

There is no algorithm. The codes are completely random (well, pseudo-random to be precise). All generated codes on wii points cards go into a whitelist database. When you enter a number, it checks if the number is valid by checking the database

Yeah, your points are tied to your Wii's serial number via the internet and nintendo's database.

If someone did figure that out, it really would be like hacking their databases...not cool.

But cant some one create a fake database and then using the fake database to allow the wii point card to be used numerous times

It doesn't work like that. Virtual Console is a store operated by Nintendo, and the points you have are stored by them, at the store. You can't just have a separate database and then just go to the store and tell the store how many points you have based on what some other server is telling your Wii you have.

And once again, even if doing something like what you describe is possible, its like hacking Nintendo's store, which is not cool.

but wouldnt some one able to create hombrew virtual console channels and transfer them to the sd card through the wii

Well you could DNS Spoof it?

Being able to load homebrew is just getting off the ground right now. Emulators may be available at some point, but it will certainly be a while.

 

[OrcMonkey©]

Yeah

I just should be patient

Until emulators or something of the sorts comes along, you can always just punch in random letters and numbers and hope something works.

lol, that would be epic

I'm sure generating wii points could be construed as counterfeiting. It would be similar to making your own tokens to go play games at Chuckie Cheese. This is something that I would be against. I think the real solution will be the ability to download and play cracked versions of VC games.

 

[Sanoblue]

i agree with yatzr ill wait till someone cracks the coding and u can load the games from an sd

 

[Sanoblue]

and actually i got one game to agree to transfer but no luck on getting it to work
