If people can already run multi core, why not share with Maxternals? If Linux is ported using it, why not share? This is the type of "inside baseball" that makes me want to shatter my keyboard.No, that's not what I said. I said it's an upgraded Wii, I did not say it's similar. I also, in the exact same sentence, without even a separator noted that it's the exact same situation as the Wii being an upgraded GC.
i.e. it's built like that for backwards-compatibility and cost reasons, which affects performance due to the core technologies that need to be supported being older.
We have official specs, unofficial specs, data from Intel, measured clock speeds from Marcan, and people who can even run multi-core code from inside vWii. The Wii U is a higher-clocked Wii with two more cores (and some additional L2 cache I presume, the category was not specified).
Maxternal and a handful are trying/helping. It could save time to give Linux with three cores as then next steps could be worked on. Or at least say, "This is all you will be given.".
I've actually been supportive of Marcan's blog and sharing "something" but if others are withholding that is bulls5u4. How else test three cores as you said. People trying with limited abilities while others have it?!
Wii U is not terrible. Not amazing either. Only thing people support is...piracy. "Won't help or give more as it leads to piracy.". Enter the piracy crowd with no proof/facts showing any conclusive tie between piracy and system death.
While not releasing to public, the "31" may have it all. Wii U mode, nand key(s), exploit, etc. Only been seeking Linux with 3 cores. Yet, while doing this, all anyone shows is Wii/GC interest, and a willingness for making statements like you did that strongly insinuate what Maxternal is trying for is already done.
All reasons to not share are crap except to help pirate chip makers. Getting a cut of that? New trend going to be, "Hack, brag, withhold, let only what we claim to oppose occur.". Maybe even a cut, lol. "Avoid Wii U mode control and get 5% of our sales, no alternative, so people must buy our stuff.". I am trying to find any way to make this logical for those sitting on information.
If system is such garbage, then why even waste time hacking it? Android devices out for years, out in Wii days, laptops can do all except piracy and are mobile. Saying closed systems are not worth unlocking just does not make sense.
Given what you said Rydian , people running 3 cores already in vWii mode, I hope others hack and release.
Edit: speculation does not seem to be your trend Rydian . So while considering you may be speculating, I figured it is unlikely you were/are about 3 cores in vWii.
