Team Twiizers is our resident "1337 h4x0r" group. They are essentially responsible for creating and maintaining the Wii Homebrew scene. The original team consists of tmbinc, segher, and it's most well known member bushing. They often collaborate with fellow hacker Marcan, who also posts updates on bushing's HackMii blog. Twiizers is also responsible for the majority of work involving brick recovery.
History
It all started with a hacker conference at which bushing demonstrated an altered version of Lego Star Wars which was used to load some basic code displaying wiimote data. Then followed the release of the Twilight Hack, which could load executables and was eventually used to install the Homebrew Channel.
Philosophy
Twiizers has always gone out of it's way to make clear the point that they do not support nor want anything to do with piracy or pirates. They are simply a group of hacking enthusiasts who share their work with the community that they played a major part in founding, and have made every effort to ensure that their work is not associated with bootlegging.
Projects
Team Twiizers have collaborated on a wide variety of projects, including a study of Wii bricks and custom booting to allow independence from Nintendo updates that may be otherwise necessary in the future for newer games.
...and others
Troublemakers
Given the stature and importance of Team Twiizers within the Homebrew Community, it is not surprising that they have received some greif from various people on occasion. Aside from the problems presented by pirates and the seemingly endless annoyance of dealing with "lamers", there are a few noteworthy mentions.
- Waninkoko, who distributes tools shamelessly based on quick and dirty modifications of other people's code which are then used to promote piracy.
- Scammers trying to sell homebrew and guides based on freely available information.
- News sites spreading false rumors and inaccurate reports.
- Wiili, headed by tuxiido.
