Is there any sane reason, why you would give an option to disable the brick protection? I can tell you that this option (even if it's not activated) makes me not want to use your branch, cause I just don't feel safe using it anymore. [[User:Hotzenplotz|Hotzenplotz]] 09:29, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

:Brick protection is only a few lines of code in the form of a if-else-if chain. It could be disabled easily in the original AnyTitle Deleter as well. This is just a compile time option to make the program more useful for developers of brick protection methods to test their code on intentionally bricked Wiis. If you don't trust a Wii program look at the full source and compile it yourself. With my relases you get the source and the binary in one package so fell free to check for yourself or ask someone you trust to compare the code. '''My releases of AnyTitle Deleter DB will always be compiled with full brick protection enabled'''. I know that BRICK is a pretty scary word for Wii homebrewn users but this addition to AnyTitle Deleter DB should ultimately help combat bricks ... at least I hope it will :) [[User:Lockhool|Lockhool]] 11:52, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

:Come to think of it, every Wii homebrewn program could be potentialy dangerous. Even the HBC installer could be hacked to execute code that deletes vital titles from your Wii. A Wii game could be trucha-signed to start a dol that bricks a Wii (just a low warning for all your pirates out there). So make sure you get your homebrewn from trusted sources, use some protection (brick protection that is; holding out for bootmii myself; Team Twiizer: please add BOOT2 protection and keep it up) make extra sure you know what you are doing when using programs that warn you on every screen about how dangerous they really are. Raise some awareness for a safer, brick-free Wii homebrewn scene. Peace out [[User:Lockhool|Lockhool]] 12:09, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
