Homebrew program enables region-free, Freeloader-free gaming
Nintendo Wii Fanboy
Apr 15th 2008 5:54PM The Freeloader will stop working on the next Wii Menu update that uses IOS37. The Wii has an internal firmware chip codenamed by the hackers "Starlet" which runs firmware called IOS... the Wii caches all the versions of IOS for backwards-compatibility purposes, and each piece of software runs on it's own IOS. Hence, when Wii Menu is upgraded to IOS37, it will no longer accept Trucha-signed content (Freeloader, Homebrew Channel) and *MIGHT* brick if the homebrew channel is installed.
This does not affect Twilight Hack, which may be used to facilitate a downgrade or patch of the IOS firmware.

Havok 4 volumes: action at a distance
Massively
Apr 3rd 2008 7:29PM Spheres collide accurately because the new Havok 4 interface code uses a simple sphere representation in Havok 4 instead of a collision mesh, which is faster and more accurate. Collision meshes get offset by about 0.05, same as in Havok 1 sims.
Would like to see that offsetting fixed, though.

Feb 29th 2008 10:57PM Fixed it for you:
Marty, have you BEEN on the Internet? Because it sounds to me like you're living in the brochure from your ISP. The REAL Internet is loaded with activities such as being raped by Satan to give birth to a small demon, being raped by a unicorn to give birth to a baby unicorn, and being raped by Trees.
If you're a sick fuck who's really into furries, rape, and scatological fetishes, the Internet is a wonderful place. But for those of us who aren't sick bastards, BBS systems look pretty decent. Especially when it's free and we already have the system.
Twilight Princess exploit leads to explosion of Wii hacks

Feb 25th 2008 5:12PM Actually it was PSO on the Gamecube. Good point, though. Fortunately we don't have to spend years waiting as people reverse-engineer the console's SDK, we just need to figure out how to access the Bluetooth, SD card slot, Wifi, and internal flash.
In short, in a week this comment will be null and void.
