You both are incredible and if you ever need nuggets and your in Colorado. I owe you both for working so hard on what I could only dream about doing since day one of the Wii. Thank you so very much! :) So I just wanted to give props to Marcan and Bushing. You both are incredible and if you ever need nuggets and your in Colorado.

As we've mentioned before, the time limited homebrew channel was something that I cooked up in two hours on April Fool's, as a sort of teaser. I'm not too worried about the time limit hack - it was bound to happen sooner or later. The idea of the time limit was to have something that people could use to prove that it works, while covering our asses as far as stupid bugs (and there are quite a few). We also didn't expect the final channel to take this long. On the other hand, the final channel is going to cover much, much more than we initially thought of, so I hope people feel it was worth the wait.

Bushing, I understand Waninkoko's mistake about pirating the VC. (I know you've apolagized, I'm not really that upset with you Waninkoko) I don't want Nintendo to patch the homebrew channel, and I don't like piracy. If I may ask your opinion though- what are your responses to Waninkoko's release of a no-time-limit homebrew channel. I don't make use of the channel myself as I own a copy of Zelda. However, one of my friends does not. So, I brought my copy of Zelda over to his house and used it to install the no-time-limit homebrew channel. Had it not been for that channel, my friend would not be able to run wii homebrew, something my friend is very much enjoying right now, or so he tells me. Now, if something I realeased was hacked, I'd be upset, but then again, we're all hackers, aren't we? And I don't totally understand why you put a time limit there in the first place. According to wiibrew.org, "Because it's an ugly, crude version that pales in comparison to what we hope to release in the near future," but that doesn't change the fact that the current channel WORKS, and that it's allowing my friend to use homebrew. So, yeah, do you have any comment? I just wanted to know your opinion on the hacked channel...

Previously it could only be used for running homebrew (yes, you could run emulators, but the VC versions are more convenient, just click on the channel versus put in zelda disc, load save, talk to the guy, wait for emu to launch, select rom) The unfortunate thing is that this gives Nintendo grounds to patch the Zelda exploit.

The commercial hackers just use the homebrewer's work to profit on. As I said, the homebrewers are the smart guys. The commercial hackers just use the homebrewer’s work to profit on.

Stop. Laughing. You really have no clue about these things do you? It's not done for profit. Even if it were, well note that the Wii is currently used by 20+ million people and is the best selling console this generation. No profit? C'mon. Here comes that laughter again... “the real elites would not waste their time on the wii because their is no profit”
