Rumor Nintendo blocking out homebrew Channel users

[commando_lee]

The hacking community is abuzz tonight with talk of what may be Nintendo's latest step to squash piracy.

Word is, if you're trying to go online and play a game such as Mario Kart or The Conduit, there's a new Wii background check to see if you have the Homebrew Channel installed. This check goes on without gamers even knowing. If you're found to have the Homebrew Channel on your Wii, say goodbye to playing anything online.

if you have a chip then you dont need the homebrew channel to play games. its used mainly as a soft mod
