Wii TETRIS Channel Installer

[linkinworm]

soo you can get elf installing working right? i mean you know how it must work to get rid of the time limit, and getting front sd saving working

[DPyro]

Ok...now try installing using the TP hack. Not many poeple own a modchip.

Am I the only one that's worried about the dangers of installing this stuff?

I'll give you gredit for making your own channel, but please don't release it until people know what these are going to do in the long run.

Here's a quote from Bushing that I think everyone should read (though they probably wont):

Glad to see I'm not the only one who read that. Looks like quite a few people could still stand to pay attention to it though.

For the record, I don't find it any more responsible to have people PM you to have you make them a channel. The work that Jay has been able to do is a direct result of having access to others' work. Is it really fair to say "PM me and I'll give you the same benefit that was given to me?" At least if you'd put out source or some details of your work, others could try and make it more safe or reliable to use.

No, I'm waiting also for a good release from bushing et. al. before I install any homebrew channels on my Wii, because they seem to be the only ones that are concerned about bricking people's Wiis and stuff like that. Since this would certainly void the warranty, I'm not going to risk bricking my Wii just for a little convenience in launching homebrew until I can be relatively sure it won't brick my Wii.

i think when you start running unsighned code on a cosole or unofficial code you have already agreed to take that risk i dont hold the developer resposible for sharing knoledge with us and people not following instructions (i have modded my psp since 1.5 FW and seen a lot of BLAME happen when any of those bricks could have been avoided by following the readme files directions most bricks happen because of people not reading the "read me" file! i think this is awesome! i would try it in a heart beat! hope the installer works on the twilight hack i use 5 emulators now and MFE as well as the titty demo WOOOT! for GRRlib!

There's no risk in running homebrew using the Twilight hack, unless the homebrew contains malicious code. Writing to the Wii's memory is a completely different thing.

You might know the risks, but not everyone does. In fact, I'm sure the majority of homebrew users don't.

The least he can do is wait on releasing this until we know what can happen. Actually, the "least" he can do is issue a warning, but I haven't seen him do that.

Too many people on here are downloading these things thinking they're perfect. It's not going to be their fault when something goes wrong, because this guy says nothing about what might happen.

I wont feel guilty if any Wii bricks because of any channel I've made.
I test the channels before I release them, so I would be the first to know any problems.

Anyway, I've got tons of other interesting channels ready, and those who dont like it aren't invited.

Oh, and I'm in contact with bushing/marcan and most of the great people from #wiidev, asking for information; most of what I know is thanks to them, and I follow their instrucctions right up to the last byte

[DimensionT]

That's my point... You don't seem to care. The qoute from Bushing I posted shows his concern over the matter. You may have tested it, but you still have no idea what could happen in the future.

This isn't even the issue (though it should be). You're not posting any warnings/dislaimers what-so-ever. This is why it will fall on your head when something bad happens...

But, apparently you don't care. The only people that'll be $#@! out of luck are the ones that decided to trust your judgment.

[Capt_Trips]

What exactly are the risks to the insides of the wii from using the Zelda Hack? and the sdloaders? and the emulators? and the installing of channels?

How exactly does one go about installing channels?

Why is everyone not happy about this astonishing breakthrough?
