You missed this part (courtesy of slashdot.org):

...boot2 (part of the system bootloader chain). Homebrew users have been using BootMii to patch boot2 in order to gain low level system access and recovery functions (running Linux natively, fixing bricks, etc). The update hasn't hindered this, as users can simply reinstall BootMii after updating (it is compatible with the update). But there's a much bigger problem: Nintendo's boot2 update code is buggy."

I love how the same thing happened with Adobe CS4.

They tried to stop pirated versions of the suite by creating a server that blocks installs with blacklisted serials. It seemed brutally efficient and unforgiving.

They found a workaround for that in under three days, too.

Here's a link to someone actually doing some pretty cool stuff by hacking a Wii: http://johnnylee.net/projects/wii/
Having the viewing angle move with you realistically when you move your head is pretty impressive, and would make for quite an awesome FPS.

Perfect code for anything more than "hello world" applications doesn't exist.
Just forget it.
Because of time and money limits, perfect code just can't exist.

Let me quote something i picked on a forum :
"Softwares and cathedrals are the same : first we built, then we pray."

Just to point the fact that codes are never completely finished (time and money issues stuff), so there will always be holes, or glitches, or whatever that makes you think this game isn't finished , and this will always be true ;)

damn I wish there was an edit. to finsih my thought, I mean by doing nothing would lead to those. doing something, even though they know its futile, keeps the faith

losing battle as it is, they have to make some sort of effort to keep up with this. otherwise, they will lose faith of the investors, faith of the developers, and as those leave, revenue does as well

Tbh although it's not impossible to do, I really think there is little point in messing with hacking a system with such limited capacity. The wii itself like has 512 MB of internal memory and it can use SD cards.

The whole play DVD's thing is almost as pointless. Everything just about plays DVD's these days, hell I've seen an Atari 2600 that could play them. Granted it was made by guys like these with too much time on their hands, but still. Why do we need another DVD player when we got 50 others.

Now if you could make it where the Wii could play PS1/2, Dreamcast, Sega CD/Saturan and other CD/DVD apped console games we'd have something!
