Is It Any Wonder Nintendo Hates Homebrew

[wraggster]

The media sometimes do the Homebrew scene a lot of good by posting the many fantastic releases that have happened so far but then comes the other side when they bring the word Homebrew into the piracy arena --> http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/03/vi...ebrew-channel/

Its claimed to be running on the Wii Homebrew channel but a glance at the comments tell you that its a virtual console piracy hack, nothing at all to do with homebrew and especially not the fantastic Homebrew Channel.

Newsposts like this will give Nintendo More encouragement to have a Pop at Homebrewers, but the hacking side (or the piracy side depending on which site you look at) also dont help the scene, the amount of newsposts telling people how to get commercial roms playing on a Wii via a modchip only gives the Big N more emphasis to kick the homebrew scene out too. Some of these scene sites also funnily enough dont post on their front pages such news but in the forums its open house, another win for piracy.

Now to be honest i dont care what others do but the good work done by all the Homebrew coders on any console gets ruined by the piracy on sites and forums.

Of course it won't be long before we have goldeneye on the HBC.

I guess that really depends on one of three possibilities:

1) A hacker can create a WAD with an expansion pack built in(which would actually end up being warez, and not allowed to be spoken of here )

2) Nintendo releases a game like Majoras Mask or something that uses an expansion pack on the Virtual Console. With that users would inject they're own n64 ROMs(also falling under the category of warez.

3) An N64 emulator that actually works is released(The only LEGAL way )

Supposedly it is a modded wad for an N64 VC title. I personally don't use those because I don't need my memory filled with all that $#@!. I like my emulators.

Shadowblind, Goldeneye doesnt use the expansion pack at all.
Perfect dark did though.

Anyway, Ill just wait for Wii64 (in fear of bluecrab finding me)

Yeah, I read (and saw on youtube) that Paradox hacked the Sin and Punishment emulator/wad and injected Super Smash Bros.

But I will wait for Wii64 to be more functional

Well as for homebrew i got only a couple things to say here. While some of it is legal some arent all that legal.

Emulation to me is pretty illegal and to me it would be far more illegal on the Nintendo Wii being that they already have a way for you to play classics and we all know it comes from the Virtual Console.

It doesnt matter if you own the game or not emulation is purely illegal on my mind. Emulation for any system pretty much copies the configuration so you can play all if not most games.

It stops people from buying systems and it stops people from buying games. Millions of people could sit here and say this is pure bull cause i own the game. Most of the people who are saying this are telling a complete lie and are piling up a big huge pile of hot steamin bullcrap.

The reason why is cause they want the homebrew to stay alive well lets put it this way the more and more emulators being made will create stories like the one this whole topic is about. Also when homebrew is created there is always away somebody can make a program to run copied games or isos.

This is the reason why they are stopping the scene it dont matter how much you blab or whine that Sony or other companies want homebrew to stop cause they know exactly what it leads to and you and I both know that and if not you know now. Call me stupid whatever you want but the story is true.

I agree with eric

So your dead against homebrew and emulation? ....Why are you posting on 'dcemu the homebrew, emualtion and gaming site' then? lol

I personaly think emualtion is fantastic! If you look at the psp scene then that console has practicaly no class A titles and so for me the homewbrew and emualtion is the only thing thats kept the console fresh (I would have parted company with the psp a long time ago if it were not for the old classics I am able to play on it now).

Emulation for the nation(s)!

Emulation to me is pretty illegal ....

Just to correct you, you may feel its immoral but its not illegal.

For me emulation is fine if you own the games already. Is it fair to be forced to buy an mp3 of a song if you want to play it on your mp3 player, if you have paid for the CD?

I view games the same way.
