Some sites are touting this video which supposedly shows an exploit on an unmodded wii.
how can you call it unmodded when you have the homebrew channel installed?? :P
2 words, bull shit
modded implies mod-chip or some other type of hardware modification. software hacking isn't the same thing.Quote:

why are people still thinking it's fake, it's not, go on #wiidev and ask
Why do they have to put terrible music in these, all of the time?
freakin horse race song
If this is real i don't doubt it i really hope they save this exploit for the new Wii Boards that are coming out soon that are suppose "Unhackable" seems like they are going the way of the psp 3000 but yea i hope they save it >.> or they might regret it
I know it's not the same thing! xDQuote:

To me, and it seems a couple other people, this isn't really all impressive.
How would running unsigned code on a Wii without hardware mod or using a game exploit be unimpressive? Isn't that sort of exactly what happened with the PSP way back in the day? Seems that was a big deal if memory serves me correctly.Quote:

It doesn't have to be a game exploit. In this video, the bug is exploited to load the Homebrew Channel. However, the goal would probably be to load more external code from the SD card, like the Twilight Hack did. If they manage to accomplish that, then on any Wii console that has a firmware of 3.4 or lower, this would allow you to install something like the Homebrew Channel, but not needing a game to do it.Quote:

The fact is no one can say what this video really shows until we get more details. I'm not saying its real, I'm just saying I don't know its not real. In the mean time you can stop acting sanctimonious.Quote:
