Twilight Hack’s Team Twiizer: No ISOloader in the future

When part of the homebrew community, getting into trouble with the company behind the platform you’re developing for is always a concern. The team that pioneered homebrew on the Wii, Team Twiizer, is set on not stepping outside of the legal boundaries. In a recent interview, they remarked that they will not be making an ISO loader for the Wii. More details in the full article.

The Wii homebrew scene is young (fetal, actually). Homebrew on the platform was only opened up a few months ago when an exploit was found in Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. However, as in any homebrew scene, one must be careful on where to tread.

Although homebrew presents endless possibilities on maxing out the capabilities of a platform, there are legal boundaries one mustn’t breach. This is why Team Twiizer recently remarked in an interview that they will not be making an ISOloader for the platform.

Team Twiizer was the group that found the exploit in Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. In the interview, they were also asked whether they were afraid of Nintendo taking legal action against them. They replied that:

Not really. They are mostly concerned with piracy of games, and none of our hacks make it any easier to pirate games. Maybe they will even sell more Wiis to people who want to hack them — I’ve bought four …

Certainly if the Wii homebrew scene is to flourish, it would be best not to get in trouble with Nintendo, unless it wants to go up against the likes of Shigeru Miyamoto. For the rest of the interview, follow the link below.
