WiiBrew apprived USB loading?

I know that everyone thinks that they are just for piracy and such. Why doesn't someone just make a cIOS and USB loader that checks the DVD first?

Because I for one use USB loaders to actually back up my originals. Since my Wii is getting old, I try not to use the DVD drive as much.
I think loading from external hard drive is very convenient.

Another example of a "Piracy Tool" Wad Manager, also has Wad Import, that checks if you own the title.

I'm not asking for any USB loader support or anything, I'm just suggesting something and hope someone will read this.

Because that would defeat the purpose of USB Loading.

Not exactly, Xbox360 does this. It just verifies you own the disc and loads it from the hard drive. Even if your disc is marked to crap, there is still a good chance it can read the Title ID.

Do you see what I'm saying?

In some cases, this would be better than loading a game from the original disc. However, who would use this instead of the existing USB loaders? Clearly pirates would not, and it would only be extra effort for the rest of us.

And the pirates would simply hack the title check out.

True, but none of them are supported here and GBAFail links to guides that brick.

True again, but I don't see the need as they have countless USB loaders already. But I see what you mean, they could easily hack it and get support for it.

Just never mind I brought it up. Someone can dispose of this if they wish.

Edit: Quote fail.

You know, I never even noticed the typo in the title.
