Wii Firmware Update Breaks Freeloaders
by August 7, 2007 @ 9:56 pm
Bad news, the Wii update last night appears to have rendered Freeloaders inoperable. It’s understandable why Nintendo blocked it, the Freeloader is an unlicensed product after all. However, what I don’t understand — why go through the trouble to block it? The disc only allows you to play games from another region on your Wii.
Certainly a minuscule amount of users are actually using it. Plus, the disc cannot be used for piracy purposes… so what’s the deal here? All I can see is that this will piss off importers.
