Haruhi said:Exactly. If you claim to be capable of something better, do so. Otherwise refuse to anwser. Not following up on your own word doesn't make you look any better.
What about this is not following up on his word? He only stated that he could make it better and not that he would. And he was asked exactly that. If someone asks nicely you answer, that's the polite way to do it. You don't they "I can't tell because it would upset a few people here, since it's not the answer they want to hear."Haruhi said:Exactly. If you claim to be capable of something better, do so.

Oh boo hoo. You and the others here are seriously asking marcan to not answer a straight question truthfully because - what - it may hurt some software pirates' feelings? Puh-lease.Meowayne said:I think there's a difference between "I will not comment on the issue because I do not support piracy" (...) I don't think that justifies how these comments make people feel who really long for a proper ISO player.
Actually, I never said Waninkoko stole anything regarding the isoloader. There is a dispute regarding certain patches that popped up in cIOS days after we released PatchMii (in exactly the same way), and he also took some code without realizing it once, then took down that app after I let him know. He's not the type to violate licenses blatantly and steal credit for everything, although there have been a few instances of him "borrowing" some code.MrBubbles said:tldr; Wanikonko is in the wrong and is obviously a thief from your statements, but you guys are arrogant asses as well.
No, and I take offense on that. I said repeatedly that I absolutely understand coders who do not want to support piracy, and that they're right when they scorn upon pirates.denzil said:Oh boo hoo.

Yes. Edit: Or rather, I don't ask anything of anyone. I just said that, by all the maturity marcan (&co) have shown posting in this thread full of pirates, I don't understand the demonstration of "look what you're not getting" afterwards. People who point and laugh (like you) I have no problem understanding; but people who show maturity, and then point and laugh, they confuse me.
QUOTEJust that marcan didn't actually write what you want, so that leaves you with your only possible reaction: Throwing a temper tantrum.
Well you learned your lesson then. Next time ask for a hug, and not for an answer.Meowayne said:Yes.denzil said:Oh boo hoo. You and the others here are seriously asking marcan to not answer a straight question truthfully because - what - it may hurt some software pirates' feelings?
I told him some stuff back in the beginning. Hardly "worked with", I just told him some curiosities back when he was clueless about the Wii. That stopped entirely when he had the bright idea of releasing the FS dumper.yoitsme said:Marcan, I heard somewhere that you worked with Wanikoko and like traded information at some point. Is that accurate?
NO. This is not what I wanted to say, and I hope this is not how it was perceived.Saladman said:"if you're not going to make a loader then stfu'
It doesn't really matter. As I said, I too can come up with comprehensible reasons for software piracy; I don't even think the homebrew opposers of piracy refuse to acknowledge there are positive sides of backups. But the thing is, and what they're absolutely right about: It can be used to cheat Nintendo of their money, thus Nintendo is going to get after it. If softmods could not enable anybody to not pay Nintendo, Nintendo would simply not care. With the current state of affairs, Nintendo has every reason to make a homebrew coder's life harder.Haruhi said:My opinion is that we need to get out of the piracy mindset, it's entirely unproductive to make a **** storm whining back and forth about "morals". Let's come up with more potential benefits to running backups without a modchip.
yes doesn't matter if its homebrew or a backup loader or a mod chip they all make the wii do things it wasn't designed to do no one has the moral high ground here if you can help the wii scene then do it if not then don't there's no point telling people you can do it better if your not going to it just causes pointless arguing.Haruhi said:My opinion is that we need to get out of the piracy mindset, it's entirely unproductive to make a **** storm whining back and forth about "morals".

That is either the most awesome or the most pathetic analogy ever.Meowayne said:I was talking about manners.
I hear you, but I still don't get what exactly you are asking from marcan. Is he supposed to answer every - again, very specific - question with another question: "Can you handle the answer?"? Really? I truly believe not. If you can't handle the heat ... err ... don't visit Finland. Or something.
