New GameCube Network Loader Runs Homebrew Games

Posted by timothy on Monday October 13, 2003 @10:43AM from the little-holes dept.

An anonymous reader submits: "Cube Hacker is reporting that a new network loader has been released which allows you to execute retail code by exploiting a known bug in Sega's online game, Phantasy Star Online. Obviously piracy is not condoned but this certainly opens the door for future home-brew development! Linux on GameCube anyone?" Update: 10/13 23:33 GMT by S : Previous update removed, due to it only referencing retail titles.

Video games are nice, but they will not get you faggots laid. Me, on the other hand, I buy rohypnol and that gets me laid.

I have an Xbox, but what's an "X-Box"? Is it some sort of Chinese ripoff?

Dont worry, asking for clarification is something that is almost necessary.
Anyway, I have a question about one of the statements made-
Obviously piracy is not condoned but this certainly opens the door for future home-brew development! Linux on GameCube anyone?
So, you are cheering the circumvention of anti-piracy protection by *claiming* you want to spread Linux to the gamecube. Seems like one of those "wink wink nudge nudge" statement I make about *trying* games out on my GBA emulator.
That attitude is exactly why so many legitimate and possibly interesting projects are getting attacked- claiming to support freedom when what you really like is theft and lawlessness.
I dont see that 'hacking' the GameCube is going to help anybody except for people wanting to pirate GC games. Homebrew projects? Dont make me laugh.

I just don't understand how incredibly boring your life has to be to FIGURE SHIT LIKE THIS OUT. Maybe if the whole offshore programming push didn't occur, we wouldn't have rogue programmers pursuing world domination and (3.) profit via GameCube TCP/IP hacking. Yeah. I just don't understand.

Boring. Childish. Overhyped.

I'm sorry if I will come of as quite an ass. It is not my intention. I have to point out, though, that ligament is mainly the fibrous tissue connecting bones. The word you must have been meaning to use is legitimate.
An interesting observation by Overly+Critical+Guy · 2003-10-13 15:37 · Score: -1, Troll

It strikes me as odd that a group of people who are so passionately anti-monopoly would also be so interested in running Linux on every device they own.

Just an observation.
