Nintendo Crack Down on Legal Homebrew

[werpu]

I'd have been more inclined to buy VC games if they actually worked on my TV set.

Yes this is a huge problem, the funny thing is, the emulators if started in the sd media launcher basically render the games fine due to upscaling, the original vc games however just cause broken screens on many modern tv sets.

Im gonna guess that NES/SNES/Megadrive could be run through this SD Media Loader? Posed a treat to Virtual Console Sales perhaps? Only real reason i can see Nintendo taking such action. Money.

Yes, I assume the VC is the reason, but the main problem is, the emulators on the GC are very good, the emulator on the VC is rather shoddy.

Nintendo basically emulates the core engine and does not even do upscaling which causes a lot of problems.

The normal emulators, do upscaling, they allow save anywhere via mem dump etc...
(Some of them even already have a rewind.)
So if you are unable to beat them on technical merits, shut them out :-(

I stopped buying from the VC once I ran into scaling issues caused by snes and nes games, and braking the sd loader wont bring me back. Or to sum it up, no working game, no sell period!

Not to mention that VC titles go for at least twice as much as they really should.

This is one of the reasons I don't have my Wii connected to WiiConnect24. I'm going to be pissed if Super Mario Galaxy or some other game I want comes packed with the update though.

Sounds like the homebrew emus run better than the official vc emu. are there any improvements to the firmware other than homebrew stopage??

This is stupid.
My action replay is no longer working and I was about to order an SD adapter for SDload.

Are you not going to use it then? Nintendo enforce updates, the last time there was an update I was unable to purchase from the Wii Shop until I updated and when I updated I could finally buy my Virtual Console titles.

wow I can't believe, this is the end of Wii homebrew

my old one for gamecube still works

though it very odd
to make it work on the Wii
you must insert the disk in the top
what I mean is , the wii is standing vertical
do not insert the disk from the bottom or middle
do it from the very top and it works

also the memory card says its corrupted when trying to load a game save, just pull out the card and reinsert it

it works fine
