One thing I remember about the piracy scene on Wii, is that Nintendo tried to combat it with an update to the system's firmware. The problem is, even on consoles that weren't hacked, it had the potential to brick the console. Ironically, if you DID hack the console, you'd likely have access to something specifically designed to unbrick your machine, because of how it's installed. In other words, Nintendo went so hard on anti-piracy, they made the console more unstable than if you hacked it.

Fun fact: my company used to provide me Norton before they decided to change. My company sent out an email telling us to uninstall norton before the accounts expired, or else Norton would lock up, not functioning as an anti-virus(so basically like normal) but also not letting you uninstall it, since it wanted you to get another anti-virus first, which it wouldn't let you do since it wouldn't uninstall. So yeah if your Norton service ran out, it would brick your firewall until you payed for more.

Clarification on the last tidbit: the Project M team is not part of the Rushdown Revolt dev team. Only a handful were present in the previous project, Icons Combat Arena, which ultimately failed due to multiple factors such as lootboxes, poor optimization, and lack of innovation. The game was bought back by Chris Kovalik, one of the three original investors in the game. He set out to rebrand the failed project and did so with new talents, not Project M developers.

TWR here, one of the four leaders of WiiCade. Awesome to see WiiCade getting some love! We had a really cool API for Flash and JavaScript developers back then that allowed games access to buttons, wiimote rotation, and up to four players for games! In fact. We got NewGrounds Rumble (a Smash clone of sorts) working with the API for all four players! Later on we added online play, so you could start a game and the website would ask visitors if they wanted to join the active game. It was pretty cool for something working off of the Wii. Biggest challenge was always performance. The Wii wasn’t the fastest piece of hardware, and doing the work to stretch to full screen often taxed it pretty badly. There was later a DSiCade which was even more successful. Some old users of the site got the archive from me and still host a static version for posterity.

We had Norton on our old PC once. It quarantined itself, so it could no longer update or be uninstalled, and only a factory reset could remove it. Honestly, I'd rather my PC die from a virus rather than it dying from Norton telling me I have one.

Had a brand new laptop with Norton. Uninstalled it. Everything took 30+ minutes to load until I could download something else to fix what Norton did. Never trusting Norton with anything. This has happened with 2 other computers that came with Norton.

More interested in hacking and homebrew than piracy. They said, being able to rip my handicapped sister's games to a thumb drive so she doesn't tear them up is handy. I also like the datel ds cart since it was commercially avalible, and while it initially had issues it was great for homebrew and I loved homebrew on my ds. Moon's hell was amazing.

Slight correction: The Project M team isn't involved with Rushdown Revolt, only a few of their members were in the Icons: Combat Arena team. But otherwise great video! Project M lives on through its competitive and modding community, and a community update to PM called Project+ was recently made. CTGP and MKWii modding is also a very notable community that still continues to thrive from Wii homebrew.

@ScribeAwoken 3 жыл бұрын

The Rushdown Revolt thing with regards to the PMDT isn't entirely accurate. Over the course of 2015-2017, iirc four (might've been five) former Project M devs were hired by Wavedash Games, a startup consisting mostly of former Riot, Blizzard and Bioware devs who were working on a Smash Bros.-inspired fighting game called Icons: Combat Arena. In late 2018, the studio folded, and their assets were bought up by Chris Kovalik, an early investor in Wavedash Games, and a lot of the ideas behind Icons are being reworked for a new game called Rushdown Revolt. Neither Kovalik nor any of the other Rushdown Revolt devs had any hand in Project M

Honestly this anti piracy stuff annoyed me back in the day. I had a launch day Wii, at some point after the warranty expired, my disc drive was failing. A 10 second cut scene in Red Steel could take upwards to 4 minutes as the game was trying to load the next line of dialogue. The audio and video in The Last Story was completely out of sync, and some games just didn't work at all. I could have had my disc drive fixed sure, but how much would that have cost? Would Nintendo even have taken my Wii since it was already hacked? Just running the games I had off a hard drive without having to swap discs seemed more convenient. Also being real: I had already bought the games I wanted to play on Wii anyway.

All I want is to install my games so I dont damage the discs from playing them, play games from other regions with translation patches, and run homebrew stuff. And I think a good chunk of people who pirate stuff were never gonna buy it anyways for a variety of reasons. I also used emulation to find games I really liked, then bought them. A big reason I didnt pirate stuff was cuz I like physical releases and collecting them.

I believe it was actually 70 members (according to a PMDT I know) and 4 of them used to be involved in Wavedash games on Icons, I don't know if any are currently involved with Rushdown Revolt though.
