Unnofficial SNES9X GX Edition - Snes Emulator for Nintendo Wii

[DimensionT]

That's ridiculous. What do you have against spanish programmers that modified those applications?

Do you have some evidence that those applications are dangerous or risky?

How about the "TRIAL" applications? How do you know that they're safe?

Did they have a "Nintendo Seal of Quality" or something?

They're homebrew applications... that's all.

What point are you trying to make exactly?

No, I don't know if the "trials" are safe. I haven't used any of those either. Fact is, the people that hacked the channel made it LESS safe by removing the "safety net".

My point about them going against the original coders approval still stands. He said it himself.

I've talked with the creators of the original channel, and they aren't very happy with this, but they can't do anything about it.

Making enemies with people that do revolutionary work for the scene is not a good thing to do. I've seen coders quit with my own eyes because of this.

Like I said in the other thread...

You can do what you want, but don't go around tell other people to do what you're doing. You don't know what it can do to Wiis... No one does, even the original coders (hence the time limit).

Some unknowing noob is going to take your advice and install it thinking everything about is it perfect. IOS37 comes out, and has a conflict with the unsigned channel... BRICK!!! Are you going to take responsibility for giving that advice? No, you'll be too busy crying about your own bricked Wii.

One of the things that pisses me off most about the release, is that the guy didn't even care enough to post a warning. That's just reckless. Same as going around telling people how flawless it is.

I guess that you should use RegionFrii and WiiBrickBlocker, instead worried about the IOS37 !

Again, the entire Homebrew will be always risky to use, but you have the choice to use it or not.

Neither of those have anything to do with what I said. RegionFrii is a hack to play back ups from out side your region. WiiBrickBlocker rips the update from the game disc. Both of these require a modded Wii and the ability to back up the game (unless you're a pirate).

Sure, you can buy a mod chip, take apart your Wii, solder it to the DVD drive, back up every new game you buy, run brick blocker on it, and reburn it to play... But doesn't that sound a bit harder then booting up Zelda every time you want to play homebrew?

Without updating, you're not going to recieve any new features. No WiiWare, no internet channel, no updates to anything. It all just seems stupid to sacrifice so that you don't have to spend a minute walking two feet on Zelda.

You need a modded Wii to be able to use those tools. People with unmodded Wii's would still have to update, anyway.

EDIT: Actually, with the Freeloader, you could use it to prevent the update from running. However, some games still need the updates to run, anyway. Also, IOS37 will also patch it, since it uses the same exploit.

I believe he is referring to people that install things like this to their Wii, without knowing the potential dangers, and think that because it works now, that means it always will. You see all kinds of threads about the Twilight Hack on GameFAQs, so it is pretty mainstream. That means someone who doesn't know about IOS37 could end up installing this channel. Team Twiizers have said themselves they are uncomfortable releasing a full version until they can test it on IOS37.

Say someone, who doesn't know what they are doing:

1. Installs the current, unrestricted, Homebrew Channel.

2. Eventually installs an update that activates the IOS37.

3. Because the channel uses an exploit that IOS37 fixes, it causes their Wii to brick.

You may know to remove it before updating, but that doesn't mean everyone else does. He is saying, that while you are free to use it, don't tell others to do what you are, unless they know the risks.

How do you know it doesn't leave traces of the channel behind when you uninstall it?

This is what I'm talking about. People installing stuff without understanding the risks.

Question... Would you have installed it if the hacker of the channel had posted a warning saying "This is not completely tested, and may potentially cause unknown harm to your Wii"? Because the original authors of the channel had a disclaimer like that.

Jay_PaRaDoX must not have noticed.

[1NOOB]

yup iwould install it

Then you're not allowed to complain when something bad happens.
