The 'special method' is downgrading by installing a (nintendo signed so you still can) old IOS that has the signing bug with a WAD installer, then running a downgrader that uses that IOS you just installed.]]> icefire Homebrew GeneralMon, 17 Nov 2008 00:39:57 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,3069,3792#msg-3792 Re: Mega Merged Oct.23 Update Threadhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,3069,3792#msg-3792Also, what is this so called "special method"?]]> strongfan Homebrew GeneralSun, 16 Nov 2008 23:40:36 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,3069,3714#msg-3714 Re: Mega Merged Oct.23 Update Threadhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,3069,3714#msg-3714

Sigh, my cousin decided to "help" me while I was gone by updating my wii shop channel. I have the homebrew channel beta 9, but I can't use the wad manager. Before my Gecko OS wouldn't work, but I did something to the boot file and it now works. Can I do the same to the wad manager?

"did something to the boot file"? What the hell does that mean?

I think NeoRez is refering to converting ELFs to DOLs, and is wondering if he converted WadManager to a DOL whether it will work again.]]> whodares Homebrew GeneralMon, 03 Nov 2008 09:48:14 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,3069,3352#msg-3352 Re: Mega Merged Oct.23 Update Threadhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,3069,3352#msg-3352

Anything else is usually legal, but it depends on your local laws.

EDIT: I just find out something curious... I was surfing on Orkut, and I saw a strange declaration of a guy who has a "defective" Wii. He said, beyond other stuff (like the games with all the colors messed up), that the system version in Wii settings was 3.4U before the console started to act weird, and "for some reason", now is 3.3U...

He's confused. There has never been a system menu that reported as 3.4U.

Freeware: you can use it only for what is programmed. Using a hacked Nintendo WAD to load your own code is illegal, I guess.

No. Copyright laws state that the author of a program (or book, or whatever) has the right to make as many copies of that program as they want, and do whatever they want with them. In many cases, they will make you a copy in exchange for money -- Microsoft will give you a copy of MS Office for $300. Apple will make a copy of OS X, install it on a Mac, and sell you the Mac.

Freeware means that the copyright owner will give you a copy of the program for $0.

Other thing: most freeware apps for PC follow a similar method, that's means, some developers only allow non-commercial use of this apps, for giving an example, and the fact it's a free-of-charge program doesn't mean it's free to modify.

Once you have this software, the law is less clear about what you can do with it. In the U.S. the first-sale doctrine generally means you can do anything you want with that copy you got from the author, except for making another copy. So, you can download a copy of IOS from Nintendo, modify it, and install it, but you can't redistribute a modified copy of IOS. You can download a copy of the HBC from hbc.hackmii.com, you could even modify it, but you can't redistribute it without permission.

On top of that, there are EULAs which attempt to further restrict what you can do with software you lawfully obtain. For example, some may limit use of a program to non-commercial uses, or some may prohibit reverse-engineering (as does Nintendo's). However, it is debatable whether such restrictions are legally enforcable; see http://www.eff.org/issues/coders/reverse-engineering-faq.

But using your scenario, then wouldn't applications (USB Gecko) that "rip" Nintendo code from the Wii be illegal? And exploits too?

USBGecko is a device, not a program. "Ripping" code from the Wii is debatable; redistributing that code is clearly illegal.

It's a copyright issue. Copying Nintendo's banner code to your own program violates their copyright on said code.

No, the copyright issue with most hacked WADs is that they are distributing Nintendo's banner code. The "copying" step is not the part where you make the WAD, it's where you give it to your friends.
