Wii Internet Channel Exploit Discovered

Gizmodo reported on the possible discovery of a Wii Internet Channel exploit that could pave the way for homebrew on the Nintendo Wii. There really aren’t any solid details on this exploit so far, but the report comes from a reputable source. The idea of homebrew on the Wii could really peak the interests of hardcore gamers and brew addicts. Exploits are typically bad for business, but I think a little homebrew activity on the Wii could really boost it’s popularity even further.
We don’t have a lot of details, but some “hackers” have found an exploit in the Wii Internet Channel’s Flash player implementation. What does this mean to you? Well, if they take this exploit all the way to the end, it means you can possibly run unsigned, home-brew code on the Wii.
Sadly, Nintendo will most likely find and fix the exploit before anything major can come of it.
Yeah, they might. I can only hope they would let some things slide. Homebrew on the Wii could really advance things.
I dunno, I mean homebrew’s can make companies lose money. Why would you pay for a game when you get get it for free? From the point of view of Nintendo I think it would be best to fix this problem asap
Wow, this information is everywhere. Go to maxconsole.com. This exploit is only in flash 7.0.69 and down. 8.0.69 and down. and 9.0.69 and down. if you own the full version of wii opera, then you have flash 7.0.70. This means that there is no exploit. Will someone check the version of flash is on the trial version.
