Hacking for Nintendo?

[Fake Team Twiizers]

I have a friend who hacks for Nintendo (opposite of Twiizers) and the funny thing is that they mod their Wiis, but use a different remix of Homebrew Channel for their counterhacking. Weird, huh?

I'm not surprised Nintendo has "anti-hackers".  They did, after all, add hack protections to Metroid: Other M.  Why they added hack protections to a single player game, I don't know, but I think they would have been farther ahead to do more QA testing so they could have stopped that game-breaking glitch...that a hacker (Y.S.) ended up fixing.  And the hack protection was also defeated, so those techniques are now useless on any wifi games, where such protection is desperately needed.

TT made HBC and therefore made homebrew possible...but they are not the sum of all Wii hacking, so it's not technically right to say that Nintendo has the "opposite of Twiizers".  There is more to the Wii hacking community than TT.  I don't think they had a hand in creating the code handler or Gecko OS.  I highly doubt they made any cIOS, backup-launchers, USB loaders, or anything of that ilk.

I remember reading a hackmii blog post by bushing that said he tried to get in contact with Nintendo to help stop piracy while allowing homebrew to flourish.  Apparently, Nintendo didn't care.  It's sad, because there's a lot of white hat hackers in this community who do this for the love of technology, and yet we're treated just the same as the black hats who want to pirate games.  I even tried to contact a few publishers of wifi games for a while, offering them a chance to have an "inside man" who could help author stronger protections for online games, but none of them replied.

I do wonder, though...if Nintendo is using a custom HBC, are they violating TT's copyright?  That would be sadly ironic, because TT goes to great lengths to avoid infringing on Nintendo's copyrights.

EDIT:

To prevent anyone reading this from being confused, this guy was an impostor.

looooooool, who wrote that?
A mod or the guy himself?
Thought one can´t edit his own profile when he/she is banned.
