No, this new update will not brick your console, so Nintendo is not acting as a assh*le (at least this time), they just protecting their own investment.

AFAIK Wii Music came with this "trojan" (called as "firmware update").

If they don't want any collateral damage caused by reverse engineering, they have to release a free development kit with the right controls in place to prevent piracy. Thus, the system is never successfully reverse engineered. Simple as that.

Hell, if they really need an example, it seems to work for Microsoft with XNA.]]>Oct 24th 2008 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/24/wii-update-stops-homebrew-installs-dead-in-their-tracks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/24/wii-update-stops-homebrew-installs-dead-in-their-tracks/Oct 24th 2008 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/24/wii-update-stops-homebrew-installs-dead-in-their-tracks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/24/wii-update-stops-homebrew-installs-dead-in-their-tracks/Oct 24th 2008 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/24/wii-update-stops-homebrew-installs-dead-in-their-tracks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/24/wii-update-stops-homebrew-installs-dead-in-their-tracks/Oct 24th 2008 10:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/24/wii-update-stops-homebrew-installs-dead-in-their-tracks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/24/wii-update-stops-homebrew-installs-dead-in-their-tracks/Oct 24th 2008 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/24/wii-update-stops-homebrew-installs-dead-in-their-tracks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/24/wii-update-stops-homebrew-installs-dead-in-their-tracks/
