RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!

TYP is saying that there is a guy in a blue suit inside your Wii. If you don't show him your I'd he tazers you.

I wonder if they have naked body scanners inside the wii for scanning software?

Mine scan for hardware

And here I thought that yet ANOTHER hidden chip was discovered deep in the bowels of the Wii.

Like a Dorito.

I said no such thing! The blue-suited man just tells you to burn things.

Sounds like "Starlet" was an i/o chip.  Kinda like the PS1 processor in the PS2.

Nah, it just slows everything down, increases cost, and does nothing but give Iwata/Nintendo a false sense of security. In one of Nintendo's boneheaded decisions, they made a kill starlet and let everything pass unchecked command (Not an exploit or glitch, it's something Nintendo did intentionally!) that gives full hardware access to anything without question whether the software has the right to do so. On the upside, WiiLinux became so much easy to develop for without the chip in the middle   .
