"clever programmer types found the new code" Bushing and co reversed the code, its not as simple as "finding" it.

And so the duel begins. Nintendo laid down the gauntlet, and the hackmii folks responded in kind

Even if the hackers rebuilt their software so that pure ROMs couldn't be run (which would alleviate the only legal grey areas to arise from this), Nintendo's the kinda company that would still fight them even if piracy wasn't an issue

Sad but true. I do so wish Nintendo and the true homebrew community could co-exist peacefully. Of course, you're unlikely to ever see the folks over at hackmii start fighting piracy by locking out those pure ROMs...

Pure ROMs? Wii games are absolutely enormous; how would you load them just like that? The only way to do so is through hardware modification and burned/copied discs. And again- modchips let you load imported games, which should have been a feature from the start.

This is saaaaad

Really, Nintendo didn't get the chance to savor the joy of stopping this hack.

Just when they though they had won, those hacker bitch slapped Nintendo, xD
