Use of Bannerbomb for distribution? I was thinking if it would be possible to distribute homebrew applications via a physical media. I came across the idea that maybe we could pre-install bannerbomb and set it up to run the application. I am not saying we SHOULD do this I am just pointing out its potential, what bothers me is the possibility of brick occuring directly because of bannerbomb.

USB? No.
Burned disc? No.

And unfortunately, like with the Pandora Battery, people will start saying "OMG!!1 BANNERBREW CHANNEL MADE MY WII BROKED!"

Too many idiots already came when the USB Loader was created...]]> InTrepidCognito Ideas, requestsMon, 21 Jun 2010 04:17:38 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,54142,54928#msg-54928 Re: Use of Bannerbomb for distribution?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,54142,54928#msg-54928

IMO, if someone can't install HBC, they shouldn't be messing with homebrew, which can in some cases be dangeroous.

I dunno, but I also don't see the need to distribute homebrew on physical media. In my opinion it makes it "too easy", not trying to be offensive here, just saying that the easier it is, the more people will use it without research, and therefore the more bricks there will be. But that's just my opinion.

Yes but what about those who are not tech savvy in any way, not all people will know how to install HBC and may not even possess the computing skills to do so.

Furthermore, how many people have HBC installed, if someone makes an app and wants to have a wider audience to distribute to then SD cards would be a better choice because it does not limit the app to those who have HBC and those who access homebrew related content (wiibrew.org, hackmii etc.)]]> SteelSLasher Ideas, requestsFri, 18 Jun 2010 15:11:05 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,54142,54166#msg-54166 Re: Use of Bannerbomb for distribution?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,54142,54166#msg-54166

I agree

Case-in-point: Pandora Battery, I said to Mathieulh way back when it first came out, "this is simultaneously going to be the best and worst thing in the PSP hacking scene" and he agreed, it's immensely useful, but it brought with it way too many n00bs]]> cactusjack901 Ideas, requestsTue, 01 Jun 2010 23:43:49 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,54142,54165#msg-54165 Re: Use of Bannerbomb for distribution?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,54142,54165#msg-54165 SifJar Ideas, requestsTue, 01 Jun 2010 23:36:34 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,54142,54161#msg-54161 Re: Use of Bannerbomb for distribution?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,54142,54161#msg-54161 jbc007 Ideas, requestsTue, 01 Jun 2010 22:34:05 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,54142,54159#msg-54159 Re: Use of Bannerbomb for distribution?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,54142,54159#msg-54159 bg4545 Ideas, requestsTue, 01 Jun 2010 22:20:44 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,54142,54145#msg-54145 Re: Use of Bannerbomb for distribution?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,54142,54145#msg-54145

what bothers me is the possibility of brick occuring directly because of bannerbomb.
Bannerbomb does not cause bricks.

It can AFAIK. If you select "No" to the "Load dol/elf?" prompt, you can copy the channel to your Wii and get a bannerbrick afaik. icefire did it IIRC, and posted a video a while back. Basically it made the prompt appear as soon as the System Menu loads. Dunno if it still actually worked or not.]]> SifJar Ideas, requestsTue, 01 Jun 2010 15:26:59 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,54142,54144#msg-54144 Re: Use of Bannerbomb for distribution?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,54142,54144#msg-54144

I am not saying we SHOULD do this I am just pointing out its potential, what bothers me is the possibility of brick occuring directly because of bannerbomb.
