Piracy Sadly Hits the Virtual Console

I for one think its great the VC has been hacked , i payed for loads of games as a child/adult for these older consoles and will be damned if i am paying again for the same game!

Ok so the games don't cost as much as they did back in the day but they are still quite expensive for old games which have already made there owners money.

S***W nintendo, if i owned a wii i would download everything i could for free, besides im always skint so wouldn't make any difference to nintendo or any other games company :-)

Flame me all you want but i just don't care, i sleep well at night lol

Fail.

This is a total suck.....
and I don't even have an interest in VC. I USE the old consoles these games were originally on!!

The only thing I could use was Freeloader for GC Action Replay and play GBA on Wii with the Datel "player".

Did Mr. 3100 have to pawn off his old systems that he "thinks it's great?"

Whatever, my Parkinson's just kicked in again....

You have Parkinson's?! Oh man that sucks I feel real bad for you.

we're screwed! shit i'm not going to update anymore..

why do that guy just ruin it all for us, that piece of shit, send him down here and he will never see the light of the day again!
soon we won't even be able to play homemade games, we have barely started to play them and then a guy comes along and throw a stick in our wheel.
idiot!

soon we will have to do it all over again, i'm pretty sure that there will be no exploits after N have fixed those who already exist, so no homebrew without modchip in the future, heck maybe the modchips will stop working after the update too!

WHY??

well bro you kinda took the words outa my mouth...about the modchips being bloacked but THE ONLY LOSS WOULD BE WIIWARE TITLES BEING CRACKED FORGET THE VC ITS BEEN IN DANGER SINCE THE FIRST EMULATOR RELEASE!

I MEAN WITH ALL THE EMULATORS OUT THAT ALONE EFFECTS VC SALES...

so to put the BLAME ON Waninkoko is comeplete BULL SH!TE because with all the emulators TEHSKEEN is releasing YOU CAN GO THANK THEM FOR THE PATCH TOO
the FACT is this:
THERE ARE CURRENTLY MORE GAMES AVAILABLE for homebrew than there is to PURCHASE ON VC....

DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT BARES NO FINANCIAL EFFECT! "so no i wont be bashing wananako for being smart enough to get a head start on something that remains completly enevidable in the first place....

NINTENDO WILL PATCH OUR EXPLOITS YOU KNEW THAT FROM THE BEGINNING.....BE IT VC ROMSD OR EMULATION ROMS

ANY EXCUSE WOULD DO....I DONT SEE YOU ATTACKING EMULATOR CODERS FROM TEH SKEEN DO YOU?

so when i say “Thanks, Waninkoko!" I MEAN IT! THANK YOU FOR REALIZING EMULATION IS EMULATION AND THAT IT ALL BARES A FINANCIAL EFFECT ON NINTENDO SO....PATCHES WERE BOUND TO OCCOUR WITHOUT BEING ASSHOLES AND FLAMING WANINKOKO :(

i don't understand where this moral high ground is coming from .. all of sudden everyone is anti piracy , i mean take this guy in the post above me , you have a D2CKey which has nothing to do with homebrew , so you what , look at it ? .. you have an R4 , lemme guess you own all the roms on it .. even this site and others , you have no problem posting that article about PSN games being hacked but oh noes some 20 year old game on the VC is way to far .. you all have emulators with 1000's of PIRATED games but oh noes not the VC!! ..

I posted this on my FA page earlier.

Today, a respected member of the Wii Homebrew Scene did something terrible. He successfully decrypted the Virtual Console encryption. This and Datel's Freeloader are leading to the emminent IOS37.

IOS37 is a Wii patch that is currently just sitting idle, but it will be released in a future update. The installation of an active IOS37 will disable all loopholes, homebrew channels, and many other things that make the Scene so strong to the point where only the Twilight Hack will work. I've been planning on joining the Scene later this month when I finally get the Twilight Hack running on my console, but recent events are leading me in the directions of not joining or being a silent member in which all my releases will be private or for my own use only.

The only way I could condone VC decryption would be for the study of how the Wii emulates complex systems such as the N64 and other functions such as the Picture import function in Pokemon Snap. Yet, that is not the point of this disaster. This disaster is for piracy, which Nintendo claims to be the focus of the homebrew Scene, which is far from the truth.

I would like you all who have a Wii console to not participate in any piracy whatsoever in order to prove a point, that we all should be respectful of the Scene and Nintendo's anti-piracy standards, and maybe we could create a better image for homebrew developers.

I don't expect everyone to do it, but we would be better off if we did.

I find a lot of you to be hypocritical.
You silently condone the loading of ISO's via wiikey and the like. You publicly condone the loading of rom's via emulators, yet when someone publicly admits to doing what a lot of Wii owners hope for in hacking the VC, you are up in arms because other people tell you to be.
Baa Baa.

Everyone's pissed of because it makes no sense. It's seriously going to make Nintendo angry, and for what? Nothing the VC does can't be done with homebrew. All this matters to are the are the impatient noobs that want fullspeed N64, RIGHT NOW!!!
