this will be possible untill nintendo finds out and will make an update to protect it and then this will be useless so it’s thrown away money

This tool does not really seem useful, because of the level of debugging you can achieve. I’m assuming debugging applications is what this is used for, because the NAND (memory) of the Wii can be read, so every application can. Another use could be memory hacks, but I don’t see what you would hack.

I’m a nerd, I like breaking into stuff, trying to get things nicer, faster and better and my Wii is no exception. Also, Nintendo has done a really crappy job writing the Wii software.

Oh and anthony: nice rant but “we are very well at speaking English” seems kind of stupid and ironic. (FYI “well” should be “good”)

Yet from what this says it seems to me like just another way to hack your console so you can play all games without having to pay for them, which eventually leads to developpers like yourself but who have been sucessfull by becoming true developpers for big companies, problems with developping, because their clientele they are seking prefers to download the content and play free by hacking that same system instead of buying the thing and encourage them.

i was starting to be a programmer back in the days but i was too weak in mats. one thing i’ve learned is that if everyone started to take the easy route to sucess, like hacking and downloading by pirating all of the stuff… you’d have no more consoles going on on the market, games would just fall short and companies would just stop publishing anything. the same with all movies you refuse to go see in theathers or even refuse to buy on DVD.

the movie industry is already showing signs of demise from internet piracy. i suggest you guys don’t make the same mistake with the gaming industry which might be bigger, but can fall down as fast as the video and music industry is.

that said.
i am not against piracy in the way that it provides people with DEMOs of kind. as in you try the game, you like it, go buy it. Demos have became a real problem and now a days we can’t have em for any games that comes out. we are forced to look upon videos and screenshoits that truly doesn’t give the game its due. so, if that drive doctor enables me to play nintendo wii games on my actual wii. then so be it, it must be worth it. but i am proud of saying that even if i am not rich like most of you hackers seems to be. i am proud of that little 10 games collection i am having now, and i know i wont be pirating things for the fun of saying, hey i tryed it, it was fun and now let’s move on. because i didn’t buy a wii for that purpose.

trying the thing is one thing, but i strongly encourage people that actually love the game, that they do try to get in real format. not just in a pirated version of it. that way you encourage the gaming industries and local companies who are actually living on it. that way you favorise economy and that way your country can live another century without having a financial deficit.

This seems like a huge step in Wii modding…I should get one.
To all you against Wii modding, I understand your point of view. I know alot about the inside of my Wii, and if I didn’t, I wouldn’t dare open up my Wii and install this.
It’s worth it, though.

this sounds like a really cool piece of hardware, and if i had a wii (i’ve played one, and i love them!) and i knew how to program i’d love to try and put a character of mine in a game to replace the main character or an NPC or something!

…or just re-create the entire game’s imagery…

Don’t feed the trolls, people. Be secure enough in your dorkiness (which is a good thing, trust me) that you don’t feel the need to defend yourself against every little slight from people deliberately trying to provoke you. All that does is make you look bad yourself and it gives them exactly what they want.

Most of the readers here are on your side so you don’t need to preach to the choir.

Most people relate things with Hollywood movies too much, Most of us aren’t “Geeks”or “Nerds” I want to use this device for games like Fire Emblem where getting characters. To add to the pointless and futile argument people like us developed that box your sit your ass in front of all day!
