Wii TETRIS Channel Installer

[sleekgeek]

Dude... I'm not saying you don't know what you're doing. You know how to make channels... Good, great, dandy. That doesn't mean you know what's going to happen in the long run. You have no clue, NO ONE DOES!!! These things should be kept under wraps until we know what could happen.

These should not be released! That is, until there's an understanding of the possibilities.

you're making yourself look like one of those conspiracy theorist nut jobs.

you're scared of the future? it installs a channel of your choosing. It's not a trojan horse. the channel isn't going to explode your wii down the road when you least expect it! :rofl:

I'd much rather have a Wii that works two years from now then save my self one minute and 2 steps in Zelda.

Forgive me for thinking things out.

I agree. lol

Seriously DimensionT chill the **** out! :rofl:

I know your heart is in the right place but enough is enough. People know the risks of doing anything on their machines that the manufactures didn't intend for you to do on them.

I personally respect all these guys who are bringing us the latest updates, breakthoughs and new discoveries etc for wii homebrew.

Keep it it up guys... we're all (well most of us anyway lol) lovin your work! :thumbup:

I'm w/ DT on this one. Fact of the matter is, no one knows what will happen. I give it a 65/35 chance that nothing will happen when IOS37 is released. As for a patch further down the road, depends on the variables. If any homebrew to boot ISOs were to be released then everything will go to hell w/i a week.

I'll wait to see the "official" channels.

Just curious, but do you know why this channel works? Do you know why it is different than official Nintendo channels? Do you know what IOS37 is? If you don't, you can read about it here.

Honestly, I think you will probably be safe as long as you delete the channel off the Wii before updating to a newer firmware, but I'll wait until the original coders have more of a chance to test various things with IOS37, before I install any of this.

Unless Team Twiizers have misread something on IOS37 (I seriously doubt that), one of two things can happen if you update to a firmware activating IOS37, while having that channel on:

1. The channel will simply not load, and you will be able to easily go into the Wii Settings and delete it off.

2. The installed Homebrew Channel could cause a conflict with the Wii/IOS37/etc., causing it to essentially "brick".

Hopefully, the first thing would be what would happen, but it is possible that the channel could cause it to brick, despite it apparently working fine right now. Also, contrary to what some believe, there are people who don't know what they are doing when installing things like this. If the second possibility were to happen, someone would end up with a bricked Wii.

just release it, if people dont want to install it then they dont have to, but it it breaks peeps wiis, your not responsible because its homebrew, and theres always a risk

Don't install it then and don't whine at releasers just because they don't abide by your, or teh scene's rules.

Ignore him Jay_PaRaDoX, and keep coding away. Don't let heavily biased individuals stifle peoples coding abilities.

Nobody know's what will happen down the line, and that includes TT.

I highly doubt you guys are going to feel the same way once your Wiis get bricked. Even if you're saying "It's my fault if it happens, because I installed it", you're still gonna be on here bitching and crying when it happens. It's not physicly going to be Jay_PaRaDoX's fault, but how many people do you think are going to care? They're all going to tear into him. Following my advice would be the best thing for him to do.

None of you guys are even thinking about it. You just want you homebrew (which your join dates and post counts say you're just leeching), and you want it now.

Think about what would happen if just 30% of Wiis got bricked because of something related to these channel. That'd amount to at least 100s, possibly 1,000s of people going ape $#@!. Why is this a good thing?

I know most of you just want your homebrew, so think of it this way. What's going to happen to releases when 100s/1,000s of Wiis get bricked? It's going to slow down drasticly. Same thing happened with the PSP when the new motherboards came out. That bricked your PSP when you tried to install custom firmware.

@Jay_PaRaDoX:
Whatever, man. Do what you want. Just include a warning in the ReadMes, and say what might happen in big bold letters at the begining of your thread. It's bull$#@! to have a chance of bricking a Wii just because you're misinformed by the person that wrote the homebrew.

If you don't, I will... Because I at least somewhat care about the end users.

Actually, I'd just like to have a read me for the sake of having one. Call me lazy or unorganized, but after I accumulate enough homebrew apps on my computer, I like to have a readme in each folder in case I forget what it was for, how to install it or if it's the latest version. That's just my thought.

Yes, yes, and yes. here's the deal and I don't know why everyone is denying it. Nintendo will patch anything that allows unauthorized software on the Wii. This includes ALL homebrew. You need to pay a licensing fee to please them. This protects Nintendo and their investors. They've been working on blocking you out since the Twilight hack was made public.

You want homebrew you don't update. Plain and simple. If someone if going to blame anyone for ruining homebrew on the system then they need to realize Nintendo wasn't cool with it from the beginning.

Worse comes to worse is that if a official update bricks your system then Nintendo will have to fix it for free or there will be lawsuits.
