could you explain us how you learn from something when there is no sourcecode released ?
bushing & markan are totally right, there was no use in releasing this tool, and this was clearly released in hurry without really thinking to the consequences

Though that did end up happening I honestly think it was just an attempt to release a tool that could be of use later. As he said, the tool isn't entirely useless. Maybe in it's current form there's better solutions to the problem. But as bushing's said himself, the bottle neck in homebrew is the amount of people working on a problem. What Superken7's done is released something others can learn from. As of right now there's absolutely NO reason I can see to use the tool. Maybe people have downloaded and used it. But anyone staying up with "the news" will know it might not be in their best interest. If someone does download it and use it, well, they should have checked around better imo. The problems with mario kart never happened. But who's to say a later game, or update, wont need "this" tool. Now obviously the three of you guys are far more learned on this subject then I am. The tool could be harmful. Sure. As far as I can tell, no one's bricked their wii using it. (as of this date) It could possibly brick the wii later. I think bushing's done the right thing by bringing attention to the negatives of the wad patcher. Some one like me, who's a little paranoid about not being able to "downgrade" his wii to ensure homebrew channels would look at this app and get curios. I did, but I didn't download it. I waited, idled, and read up on it. I was in #wiidev when bushing said that this could be a little dangerous. So I didn't risk it. I think this blog will help a ton of people like me, who weren't waiting around on EFNet. This almost feels like an attack on Superken7, instead of it's original point of trying to let people know the tool really isn't that useful. I don't think either of you two are trying to personally attack him, but bring out the fact that it was a poor decision. But I think it mainly comes from how shitty google language tools can be, and missed posts in unknown forums. I think he released the wad patcher in good spirits. Hopefully this whole thing can sort of unite the international communities forming around wii homebrew. That and a better understanding of how the wii checks itself will help the average n00b along the path of homebrew. So with that all I can say is, bushing, your blogs.... we need them. marcan, from what I read, he didn’t intend to do a world wide release of the tool.

That's way too many assumptions. It doesn't justify releasing an untested tool to the masses.
