Rumour - Wii Hacked to Run Back Ups - Piracy Alert - Possible Homebrew Exploit

[Anger]

im an amatuer video editor but even i could pull off a better hoax than that sigh. on the plus side - it is a fake

Also I can't seem to understand the thrill of faking something like this... Do these people have nothing better to do??

*sigh*

these people have no life and are attention seeking morons who are not loved by there parents and are all under 16 either by age or mentality. and theres a lot of em - when there was downgrader news for the first time (the fake news) it was by some jackasses who seem to thrive on the attention that was fed to them. then of course they were silenced because the real thing showed up. they said the same things to - ''i have a <insert magic hack here> and i will release it only on <insert date here>. there sad lonely little kids who should be pittied. i find it amazing they can even operate a computer let alone try and fool people with a fake video. sad sad sad sad sad. rofl.

Homebrew on the PSP is fun but I dont think I would ever use homebrew on a console. But if homebrew on the Wii could use the Wiimote well then it could be really fun.

Not that I don't totally think this video is a fake, but thats a completely ridiculous reason to think that.

This guy supposedly backed-up a copy of Zelda and found an exploit in order to play it, right? Doesn't that kinda require him to HAVE a copy of Zelda first? Think about it...

OK, well first of all, i hope it's fake. I don't wanna pirate Wii games, Second just wait and see. If this guy just wanted to generate hype or whatever, he would've set the release date further away. Jan. first is only a couple of weeks away. As for the video, most likely a fake, but it could also be real, just a crappy editing job.

I dont think its fake.

1) Quite a few cameras (specialy done with a digital camera not a video recorder) will adjust to light source. If you watch the whole video, it constantly changes contrast while the camera adjust to the light source from the TV.

2) Looks to be a simple image exploit (posibly tiff?). No suprise i mean hell it worked on PSP. Buffer overruns are the most common exploit out there.

3) Loader is not so much a loader as it probably just tricks the DVD firmware drive. Hell 360 piracy started over people realise the dvd drive firmware was not encrypted or verified by the bios.

4) If you own a wii you would realise the slot loader is freaking slow to eject and accept a new disc. This is not some 4 second window to swap.

Personaly I am on the fence but I am more inclide to believe it's valid. It's not like the guy is just flat out starting the wii with a burn in it. It goes though a very posibly valid way to exploit any system.

STFU about saying its fake he wont release it if people think it fake

You haven't followed emulation for very long have you? Anybody that says 'if anyone calls this a fake I won't release it' then you can guarantee 100% it's a fake.

[ExInferis]

Best guess I'd say this is a fake. If its possible to buffer overflow the photo channel then someone else would have done it by now and confirmed at least that can be done.

I remember when the gamecube first came out there were some fake vids of backs being played on that.

Its too soon to say for certain but dont hold your breath.

IF it is real, I hope they find a use for it other than piracy. Maybe someone could code homebrew for Wii. (I'm looking to you PSMonkey! j/k)

Soo.. why is it that Wraggster says it's pathetic that some sites will post trashy news like this on the front page.. and then he posts this trashy news on the front page?

It just smells a bit hipocritical. I really like DCEMU, but Wraggster really talks alot of **** about alot of other gaming news sites, while he does alot of the same things.
