Has anyone tried this? Does it work? I'm a bit nervous because of the warning. Would be nice to know WHY he was banned.

It works. He was banned because he released software designed to be used for VC piracy, and we here hate piracy. Muzer 18:16, 18 June 2008 (CEST)
LMAO, designed for VC. The TP exploit is used for piracy too, and the HBC is used to launch the WAD Manager. It all depends on the use that the end-user gives to these tools, not the author, isn't it? --PaRaDoX 19:20, 18 June 2008 (CEST)
No, he made the tool to dump VC games. Not only opening the door to piracy, but also exposing a bug that the Wii devs were going to use for a downgrader. http://hackmii.com/2008/04/thanks-waninkoko/#more-7 . Also, you are hardly law abiding yourself, using Rayman code in your banners is illegal, K?
We are not discussing if what I do is legal or not(ONLY the first banner was based on Rayman, others aren't). I use his tool to extract system files, not VC games. As I've said before, it all depends on what the end-user does with the tools, and it is not the authors fault. No one blames Twiizers for making the Zelda exploit, which brought us all this VC/WiiWare piracy.
Me too? Actually I extracted the credentials from the NAND FS dumper and used them with wiifuse. I would have no way to fully access my Wii otherwise. Now, I don't know why Wanikoko made NAND FS, but I'll bet most of the people who object to it are the people who already had it beforehand. --Comex 23:18, 18 June 2008 (CEST)
