I didn't pirate anything, but I did inject ROMs into VC games I don't own. So I guess I did pirate them, but I never played the actual Virtual Console games. Anyways....
I removed all of the channels I installed with the WAD Uninstaller because I don't want to risk being banned from Nintendo's online services, even though most people think Nintendo will not do that. The only thing I'm worried about now is if Nintendo can detect pirated VC games with your play history, or those folders I heard someone say that the uninstaller leaves. Does anyone think Nintendo can or will check for pirated games via those folders or your play history, or just stick with tickets if they check at all? And if worst comes to worst and Nintendo starts to ban, can I reformat my Wii and still have my Wii Shop Account and redownload my legally owned VC games? I can re-register friends and load backed-up Miis and saves, but I don't want to lose my VC (and pretty soon, WiiWare) games.
Also, I never connected to the Wii Shop Channel while I had the channels.
