Recently, some sites have started to sell Wii homebrew packages / guides. Here are two of them:
- HomebreWare a.k.a. PlaybreWare
- Another site (I won’t link to it or mention its name because its author apparently feels that it will boost his sales)
Update: HomebreWare is again violating our copyright by selling and hosting our files. They are also operating under the new name PlaybreWare using Plimus instead of ClickBank. The following information applies to the old version of HomebreWare and is outdated; the new version can be summarized as an illegal distribution of our software, software to launch illegal copies of games, and some Nintendo Wii System Software.
The other site is newer apparently, and I’ve already looked quite a bit at Homebreware, so I’ll focus on the latter. Note: if you link to them, try to use the rel=”nofollow” attribute to avoid contributing to their PageRank. Google them if you must find their sites.
The Homebreware site claims to provide software to – surprise – do everything that Wii homebrew applications currently do. I encourage you to read the site for yourself. I actually went ahead and bought it to have proof of what’s going on. What’s in the box? There is none. Their product is entirely delivered online, and includes two parts: a PDF guide and a software bundle. They also have an affiliate program which seems to be pretty active.
