Hi all, I've been thinking about it recently, and I've started to wonder what everyones stand is on Homebrew (For any console really, but I'm focusing on the wii for my debate) and if it should or shouldn't be done.
The good for Homebrew:
It adds new features that the wii woulnd't normally support
It allows developers to get feedback for their work
It allows for playing games from all over the world
It is constantly updated since fans are faster (Usually) than developes
It can improve the preformance of your console
The bad for Homebrew:
It voids your warrany
It is purposely voided by Nintendo updates
It can be used for pirating purposes
It give Nintendo no money whatsoever for their console
There is a slight chance of ruining your wii using it
So I'd say that using Homebrew is a big Catch-22. You get the good and the bad, but is it worth it? One application I use is usb loader since I'm terrible at taking care of my games. I know that it can be used as a pirating tool, but because I don't like cheating the original creators I only use it as insurance for my games. Does anyone else feel like I do that it is o.k as long as the developers get their dues?
