Question:

Have you ever used wiigator? and if so, has your wii ever been damaged by burned games or the loader?

I'm just trying to get an idea as to how safe it is. Is it as safe as the homebrew channel? because so far the homebrew channel for me has been flawless, (shockingly flawless, even more so than ppl who make gameshark and action replay, which in turn, arent really flawless lol)if its as safe as the HB channel, then i might look into using it. (mainly for experimental purposes, because theres some games i'm curious about, but not enough to want to throw money at to rent or buy)

Answer:

Of course the channel has been flawless, it only downloads crap to the flash memory card which itself is technically separate from the system in the first place. Action Replay and Gameshark on the other hand are pieces of crap that alter the way code is read by the system if I remember correctly. Anyway there isn't yet a consistent opinion on whether or not using a loader will shorten the life of the Wii or not. But with older consoles people who used them on a regular basis eventually had read problems that people who used the system as it was intended did not. That said, using a loader occasionally isn't going to break your system or anything. It might be a waste of money as eventually the firmware will block it out and you'll have to get another one. Of course if you just burn a copy of the loader in the first place that's another story.
