Piracy Sadly Hits the Virtual Console

[paul3100]

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.

Couldn't agree more actually , i do see everyones point thinking this may bring patches to the wii but it would have happened eitherway sooner or later.

ROM are good!
Hacked VC is... wait why is this here?!

like i said earlier, i am up in arms and mad about this not because i was told to be, but because this will definitely piss of nintendo. there are FAR more people using VC than emulators. this will go mainstream. you know that there will be youtube videos. then stupid kids do research and figure out how to do it and then there goes a large sum of nintendo's profits. they will lose far more money from this rather than form some of us using emulators.

Damn, it's terrible news. I hope it will not be popular, but that's impossible

There is a point where someone needs to draw the line. And this is VERY VERY close to that point.

i think nintendo sony and ms have went over the line like for example contra like I own the nes version the real cartridge WOW!!!! ok i paid for this a long time ago why the **** do I have to pay for it again for the 360 the wii and if sony is offering it them as well. We are getting charged money to play games that we already own. Like WTF? instead of buying the games are gamers going to have to buy the rights to a game so they wont get constantly charged over and over and over again like ****man for the same game that you probably owned physically. I say cheers to the ppl who hack this garbage, and a big **** you to the companies that rather sell you old games that you own instead of making some descent titles for their freakin console. These companies deserve this

I think Nintendo was pulling bull**** when they made the VC in general, charging so much money for crappy games that you can pick up for 50 cents. However, even that doesn't excuse piracy.

Then go boot up an emulator. They may still not like it, but it's far less likely the make them angry then VC being cracked. VC being cracked means WiiWare being cracked, and that means big business.

only 50 cents?

Chrono Trigger? Final Fantasy? Phantasy Star? Legend of Zelda?

Aye. I found most of those in garage sales for about that much, less then a dollar. LOZ costing $10 is simply painful unless you have never played it. Everything else is just painful. Still, some of the games (N64) are great, but overpriced.

*snickers at the amount of posts trying to oust hypocrites*

I haven't seen much in the way of hypocritical posts. Everyone is stating that cracking the VC is bad. Not because you are getting the games for free, but because it could lead to Nintendo patching the Twilight Hack. Meaning no more homebrew development.

That means Wii HB devs will be in the same boat as everyone who owns a PS3 or 360, waiting for a good modchip to come along that allows homebrew. Which also means we'll be stuck with using inefficient disks instead of SD Cards to load our $#@! until a loader comes along. Either that or create a dev team to get a devkit for a couple grand.
