I know I'm just giving this script kiddie attention, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
Also apologies if this is badly written, I'm not good at using forums.
Basically, there's a guy who I won't name going around writing Wii brickers disguised as harmless WADs (such as a Golden Axe VC WAD) or homebrew applications.
Their biggest project, which I won't name either, is a fork of KoreanKii that just installs the korean key onto your Wii's SEEPROM. This by itself wouldn't be difficult to recover from, but here's the catch; it also deletes EVERYTHING off your SD card and USB drive.
They're planning on sharing malicious WADs and applications right here on GBATemp, which is why I finally made a post about this.
They're also claiming to have written WiiGPT, and that RiiConnect24 and WiiLink have been "stealing their hard work", which just isn't true and is them trying to make up some sort of rationale for doing these awful things.

TL;DR don't install random WADs or run random homebrew apps, test on dolphin first!

Edit: Now I'm concerned.. What if Open Shop doesn't realize???? I don't know at this point!!


Wow. Reminds me of the DS trojan named DSBrick. Usually disguised as a download play software.


Small tip to anyone a bit concerned about this post: If you're looking for custom WADS, only get them from reputable sources like for example MarioCube or make your own.

don't worry, OSC's moderation is strict. there will never be a single piece of malware posted on OSC.

now that I'm posting in this thread, I suppose I should mention that I finally got around to looking at the source code of the brickers. They don't compile. While you should be careful when running homebrew, currently there are 0 brickers in circulation.
It's best that we stop giving this person attention; it's all they want.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man throws her into the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
