Twilight Hack protection already beaten

Nintendo's going to have to devise more minor Mii Channel upgrades, because they'll have more homebrew-killing attempts to barely camouflage. Almost immediately after the new Wii Menu 3.3 software went up and killed the Twilight Hack, coders at the HackMii blog figured out what the new code was: surprisingly, it was targeted specifically at the one Twilight Princess bug that enables homebrew loading. And they found bugs in that.

Soon after, they wrote up some code that exploits the bugs in the new security code, and allows them to "fool their check into ignoring the TP hack." They have yet to release the fix yet, but at least it'll stop our panicking until the next update.

Hackers 1, Nintendo 0.
You can do whatever you want, as long as it is written by a human, another human will find a vulnerable spot.

You here Dark Alex already decrypted 4.00, sweetness I love owning a PSP, I've had one for three years now and only bricked it once (but I have pandora)

once they found a hole for hacking, there are really nothing else left you can do to try to block it! they will still find a way around even with the latest security updates just by a little tweak of the earlier hack! that's how it was bound to be and will always be! it's just a security update for god sake! the main hardware and system are still the same! it happened with all other consoles before and it's really a hard task to make a hack-proof console when hackers are actually racing with each other to hack every single console being release from day one! that's why you should protect your system from the inside out like the PS3.

the Cell BE is highly secured from the hardware design level which means that the CELL was built with security in mind! plus sony is confident enough with their security to let users install the open source LINUX which most hackers are using! still up till today, people still can't even access the RSX let alone CELL! I'm not saying the PS3 is hack-proof because nothing is but sony is doing a great job to delay the hacking process and to a certain extend, they're somewhat successfull! nearly 2 years of it's lifespan, the PS3 remain the only console unhacked!

the gamecube took until it final days to be hack...in time PS3 will fall also.

Xakep6545d ago

G4drake6545d ago

Xakep6545d ago

The hack is already out there and now it's that much more difficult to cover up, just ask Sony on the PSP.

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg28d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai28d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

This game along with Rogue Squadron got me into to Star Wars. The release of special edition VHS Star Wars collection was perfectly times on top of all that. 😆

Redgrave58d ago

Because it is.

Please re-release this.

SimpleSlave58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

But it wasn't. Although I do agree that some of the tie-in media, like the novels and comics, were pretty good.

Still, games like Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, and the space sims were peak 90s Star Wars. Shadows fell flat because of the abysmal controls and unimaginative levels. And if you wanted to really experience the seedy side of the universe, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 was peak, and it wasn't even close.

Regardless, and much to my dismay, we got the better version thanks to Ubislop in Outlaws, which is what Shadows should've been, albeit at a smaller scale.

As a kid me and my cousins loved this game . I have great memories with this one and the Star Wars pod racer game .
