hainaku said: Nintendo can legally void your warranty if you have a modded Wii, or stop you from using new features, ban online play, etc. - but they cannot intentionally brick your Wii and make it inoperable because you have a modchip installed. The most they can do is force you to remove the modchip to be able to play again, but they can't destroy the console.



Hard to make any really informed comment about it at this stage, but I'd generally agree with the premise of your statement.

MrMorden said: here is the update for the 1.2 wiikey config disc - it now works on the 3.0 firmware without the need of GCOS

www.kkwarezupload.com/

NB: this is the PAL version



Just wanted to ask, does that version of the config disc for the wiikey allow for use without a gamecube controller? As in using the reset switch on the Wii itself to select the options?


Cheers,
Coney

OMG, are you guys still going on. Wow. I agree with monolocco, just wait and see what happens. It has been less than 24 hours since this update has been released, so it will take time before a clearer answer as to what the update has done will come up.

For the time being, GET BACK TO YOUR WII AND PLAY!!!

I ask again. What did nintendo achieve? A new clock, usb keyboard support etc.

They did not "hurt" any wii's or their modchips. So whats the "haha" for. If anyone is "hahaing" its the modders. After a short freakout session nothing has changed.

Please. legals, morals & ethics aside. Nintendo applies a fix. Modders find a way around. Its a giant cat and mouse game. Look at MS and windows. Every few months they find a way to stop pirated copies of vista and XP. hours later there is a new work around. This is real life boys. Not fanboy earth. People steal, they get stopped, find a way around and steal again.

Im not saying i do, im not saying anyone should. Im just saying the real life is different to the ideal's you would all like life to reflect.

Rerun im not personally cranky at any user. Just johnny do rights who dont have a realistic view on the world. Its full of criminals who do and will continue to break the law.

Your saying that people will find a way around it.But nintendo can stop you using their internet channel or wifi if they want.If they ban a mii from wifi there isnt a way aorund it they will just ban your whole wii.

yes but if a modder is a smart modder they will buy a chip with stealth capabilities (not sure if i spelled that right) so that that doesnt happen so there has been a way around that made alreddy

i doubt any modders on these forums 'freaked' out normal users shouldnt need to worry about the new firmware update.. so this forum thread shouldnt be an issue no longer.. there have been many fixes and work arounds over the last 24 hours to get the wiikey setup disc to boot

not all modders are pirates either, wash your mouth out with soap son
