Anyway, I don't really care who releases it, a USB loader would be amazing. Instead of having to bring my case of (all legally bought) Wii games to bring my Wii somewhere, I'd only need the much smaller hard drive. Much more convenient that way. (I loved this about my original Xbox as well). Also, it'd be nice because I could preserve the life of the drive, which makes so many noises during loading a disc that it scares me.

Now I just hope you'll be able to install from the original retail disc to the USB drive, rather than needing special tools to do it. And also, hopefully it'll be possible to read at 6x like the original discs, I read that most softmods so far have issues with that.]]>Mar 30th 2009 5:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/homebrew-wii-usb-loader-gets-demoed-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/homebrew-wii-usb-loader-gets-demoed-on-video/reading that guy's blog post shows him to be a real brat.

Why on earth does it matter who takes credit for something like this? People all across the world should all be working towards the same goals- freeing the restraints on this hardware.

Write everything from scratch?

The point of open source software is for everyone to be able to improve your code or use parts of it for something else. Waninkoko pieced a bunch of stuff together to make some programs

Oh and it needs to be said that marcan rarely releases source code. He/The team prides themselves in their discoveries and keeps many of the methods secret (for example making animations on a Wii Menu channel like the Homebrew Channel does)]]>Mar 30th 2009 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/homebrew-wii-usb-loader-gets-demoed-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/homebrew-wii-usb-loader-gets-demoed-on-video/Mar 30th 2009 3:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/homebrew-wii-usb-loader-gets-demoed-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/homebrew-wii-usb-loader-gets-demoed-on-video/

On one hand, the rant against him sounds more like it's there just to take away from his spotlight, all the effort to prove that someone else could do it in 6 hours vs. 22 days seemed like a waste of time, I get that they were just trying to prove that Waninkoko was basing his efforts of the work of others.. but c'mon ..

On the other hand, if Waninkoko is in fact basing his work off of the efforts of other, and is turning a profit as a result .. that's just not cool either, he admitted pretty clearly to using other's work .. and quite correctly stated that the work was out there to be used, not looked at .. but if he's releasing his software without giving credit, and then making money off of it .. then that's where I'd say there's a problem..

Waninkoko should have taken the high road here and just start crediting the sources.. he's clearly the first to the gate with a lot of what he does and that should be enough for him, it's not as though he's unappreciated .. but he clearly did not get there on his own and shouldn't ignore that fact.]]>Mar 30th 2009 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/homebrew-wii-usb-loader-gets-demoed-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/homebrew-wii-usb-loader-gets-demoed-on-video/http://www.techsick.com/articles/how-to-install-usb-iso- loader-on-wii.shtml it has links for downloads and a step-by-step tutorial making things easy]]>Apr 2nd 2009 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/homebrew-wii-usb-loader-gets-demoed-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/homebrew-wii-usb-loader-gets-demoed-on-video/Apr 4th 2009 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/homebrew-wii-usb-loader-gets-demoed-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/homebrew-wii-usb-loader-gets-demoed-on-video/and still load them? i've allready got the homebrew channel and i
have the backup loader. The thing is i've allready got all my games
ripped to an external hdd so that if the discs do get scratched i can
just burn a new on i have kids you see this happens at least twice a
week. so could i move the games onto my computer,format the hdd and
then move them back?
Thanks for any help/info
