Cool, when I get home I'm going to put all of my VC games on an 160GB usb drive that I have. It's going to rock saving all that space on the Wii memory. I'm also going to copy a GC game onto the USB drive and play that as well.

There is no point in releasing them UNTIL Nintendo makes their move. Otherwise Nintendo can be like "oh so that's what they're planning, we'll cut them off ahead of time" ruining all the work they've put in.

I get it, this isn't an important step to getting us towards something more safe. Gosh, these hackers Wii hackers sure do suck putting out all of this kind of crap. This firmware downgrade gets us nowhere. Who cares that the entire firmware can be removed and then reflashed with a different firmware?

Everything that maybe useful in the future is pointless and crap today.
