You probably read the Wii Mod Chip post and wondered wether or not it truly was functionable. Well I might have your answer. I just watched a video in which a guy talks about the GC security flaws. He basically explains how the two backdoors function and what can be done with them.
He goes on to talk about the Wii, well more mock than talk, but rightfully so. Both backdoors have been issued a quick fix, by one assigning a new password (the old one in lower case) and two removing the serial port but adding a new one. The final question is, is the Wii hacked? What about homebrew? Watch the video to find out.

    Xbox did do something, you can't play a modded xbox on xbox live... unless something has changed since last I looked (3 months ago). Some people don't plan on playing their Wii's online though... so doing this is not entirely out of the question. As far as not understanding him, listen closer and try a little thing called paying attention, while you're at it clean up your foul mouth, the guy is obviously pretty dang tech smart, maybe if you could learn a thing or two if you tried.
  • Even if someone does manage to do this. Who's to say Nintendo server side won't check for hacks and modding your Wii makes it unusable later for online play?

    I don't know if this will happen but I think Xbox did something like this so you could play xbox live if your xbox was hacked.
  • this is old news, this video has been going about for a good few weeks now.

    Wii discs could be copied for a rather long time now. The problem playing these one your Wii. This states that yes it is possible to play backups, but homebrew is not yet possible. Now we just have to wait for the first successful mod chips, perhaps the Wiinja is one?
  • idk

    Is this saying that wii discs can be copied?
