2 ideas...

[GBoGH]

I was thinking the other day of two things that really bother me and just about every brawler that I've ever played with.

1. If you have played any games by steam, (tf2, cs, l4d, hl2, etc) you may be familiar with a "-novid" code that you can put into the steam client. What it does is simple, it skips the beginning vids and brings you right into the title screen. Is there a similar code for brawl?

2. Now that everyone has had brawl for a little bit I'm sure that we've gotten used to having no mic setup. Being that other games have mic support like animal crossing, or the conduit Is it even possible to use a mic in brawl? What I recently found out is that the wii mote actually has an unused mic in it. . Being that there is content that they "left" in brawl but is unused... any chance that there is possible mic support or could be pulled out of another game?




Please lock this thread if its not in the right place/is redundant. Also sorry if its "kinda stupid" I'm new here lol

Doubt mic chat is gonna happen, there would need to be some massive file replacing and general code tweaking to make it happen.
Plus Ninty would probably punch your Wii right in the ban button for doing stuff like that over their network.

Ninty only has banning capabilities when they find you hacking when you're playing Mario Kart Wii. Otherwise, you can do whatever you want.

Also, get a headset and use Skype if you need Mic chat that badly.

Not that I doubt the MKWii ban thing considering the like ten codes people made to get around it, somehow I feel someone dorking around on Ninty's server would be a smidge more likely to get a swift ban than cheating in MKWii. >_>

 

[UltiMario]

I recall something like Nintendo's servers suck so much that banning capabilities are only possible on MKWii's.

Even if they can ban you regardless of MKWii hacking or not, the codes don't get around the "MKWii Ban", they get around the entire ban coding that Nintendo has set out. With said code on you can do anything and they couldn't do anything about it.

I'll just leave this thread at this:
Could we theoretically try this? Sure.
Will it ever happen? No.
Is it even relatively possible? No.

Yeah, the mic function was used in Mario Party 8 (I think) to speak commands into it for a few mini games.

 

[GBoGH]

What about the novid code? IS that possible?

 

[AMKalmar]

I've been looking for a no vid code since I hacked my wii. I don't really care for the mic thing because wifi sucks so much.

I think it is very possible, however, to my knowledge, the code has not been made, I requested it here a long time ago.

I have Mario Party 8.

I've seen no such games.

Mario Party 8 sucks anyways. Glad I still can play the first 3 on the N64...

But mic chat is like impossible now. Just use Skype, as someone mentioned above.

I'm pretty sure the strap-loader is locked, and you can mash through the intro video, so there isn't much reason for this code.
I'm pretty sure their is no novid code.
You can replace the video with one that is essentially nothing, but that may only be available through iso hacking.

 

[Isatis]

I'm really doubting a novid code can exist (nobody has really cracked the movie PAC's or is the last thing on their mind)

Nintendo CAN and WILL ban you if they catch you cheating in Brawl's With Anyone mode. I tested the rumor out myself back in March and got burned. Luckily, it was a temp ban. With Friends is still fair game, AFAIK.

I'm confused over how a ban-blocking code could possibly work, because the server automatically logs your IP address, MAC address, etc. when you log in.

 

[Isatis]

The blocking system works by catching your MAC address and the backend of the server, if it notices it matches in a blacklist, it just blocks you from getting access to the server. The ban bypass just modifies the MAC address to a different thing and logs in that way, bypassing the ban.

I noticed that when I updated my brawl + to include the strapwarning and title screen, it loaded a lot faster, anyone know the reason for this?

 

[Isatis]

Probably because it loaded the PAC's from the SD card and not the disc.

Locked since OP had his answered question
