Attention WIFI hackers! Beware of error code 20102!

Nintendo is starting to ban any hackers that go on wifi. Now, I do not know if this affects friend matches, but if it does, you should avoid playing Brawl+ with friends online. While some of you might think this is a good thing, this might also decrease the amount of target test/wifi training room matches you will find on With Anyone, which ultimately makes taunt parties a lot more boring.

If you get banned, try calling Nintendo to try and lift the ban. They will only give you one more chance. After that, you will be perma-banned.

If you don't want to call Nintendo, try formatting your Wii. This will assign it a new friend code. Then, use a different IP address. This will most likely fix the ban.

Here is the error code page on the official Nintendo website, for those non-believers.

Online hackers, HACK AT YOUR OWN RISK.

 

[Hitman JT]

So that means no more music and texture hacks online? That's balls.

 

[POKE40]

This should be stickied...
I wanted to hack brawl too....
*dreams shattered*

Do you know for certain formatting your Wii would fix the ban...

 

[Javier78]

Well, since they ban your Wii FC, IP address, and MAC address, you would have to change both the IP and FC(by formatting the Wii). Although, there is always the chance that it may not work, in which case, you have to call Nintendo.

Oh, and the ban affects all wifi games. So if you are receiving the error code in Brawl, you will receive it in all of your other Wifi games.

 

[Volt7x]

I'm still hacking online and not banned (yet?). :D

 

[Hydro_Smasher]

Are you serious? I love melee so much I was serisouly thinking of hacking brawl to brawl+ and playing with friends... aw man

 

[Problem2]

EDIT2: Man, I need to read better

 

[Ange]

That sucks. I had some thoughts to test hacks online. Ahwell.

But I do have one question. What number should you call if you get banned in Europe?

 

[AAP]

this ban is only intended for wifi hackers. So if you were planning to install HBC for brawl+ with your friends offline it would be very unlikely you'd get banned.

From what i have read this ban is primarily aimed at MKwii hackers, I'm not sure if anyone has been banned for brawl hacking alone. As far as that goes you can hack your face off so long as your offline. To date just having homebrew on your system does not mean you'll be banned (hasn't for me anyway).

 

[BBQ°]

The hackers will probably just find a way to avoid the ban. LOL.

 

[FatalFrost]

Aww, that sucks. Brawl hacks are virtually harmless, and are meant to be fun. Why, Nintendo, why T_T

 

[Volt7x]

Just take the WAD of HBC and change the ticket. Simple.

I think it's to stop all the Giga Bowsers. There's been a lot more sightings lately.

 

[King Zarthius]

Does this affect the replay hack?

 

[Knubs.]

Lol Wow... I like listen to music that I can pick.

 

[Ikenomon]

I already know alot of people who already hack online. That means they won't be able to do as much hacking anymore.

 

[SarahHarp]

This ban mainly pertains to Mario Kart Wii because of all the complaints they got. They only care about you hacking online, not that you have the homebrew channel installed or any of that. The way they detect you hacking is by viewing the actual race/match on screen. It's very unlikely they view brawl matches since there's little to no real hacking like there is on MKWii, and isn't detectable like it is on MKWii.

Any of your long replay hacks and music and stage hacks and whatever else are next to impossible to pin point by viewing. You should only worry if you use giga bowser or warioman hacks. Also, getting banned in one games makes you banned in all games.

 

[Volt7x]

At first I was scared I got banned, but it was just error code 20100.

 

[Conker315]

Yea, this gave me second thoughts but I still did it.
Btw, any of you know the replay hack code?

 

[Joe-kun]

Wasn't this all because there was a certain player who was ROYALLY messing up MKWii? I think I remember hearing about it, it wasn't overall hackers, just this ONE person seemed to ruin EVERYTHING.

I forget the specifics, but that's what comes to mind.

 

[Crow!]

Hacking on MKWii was a huge problem. Brawl is different; hackers generally only desynch the game (in which case the non-hackers see themselves winning the game handily) or play on a weird stage (which isn't a real problem).

It would be really annoying if a simple brawl+ friend match caused a ban. Can anyone confirm?

 

[Deleted member]

So someone released Warioman and Giga?

 

[Volt7x]

So someone released Warioman and Giga?

Nope. And thank goodness. I know a way around which many others do so anyone evil enough to use that code will probably bypass the ban.

 

[Lord Viper]

☆ No more Mario Kart Wii hackers!?! I can play online on that game again. =D ☆

☆ It's weird that people wanted others to leave with anyone by doing hacking cheats, now they can't do it or they will get banned, lol. ☆

 

[Volt7x]

Now someone released it,

Spoiler

Okay I posted it here.

 

[comboking]

So Nintendo watches us play Online? PEDOS!

God Dammit!

...I really want to use those codes for taunt parties.
Eh, whatever. I'll take the risk once.

 

[Vel]

about **** time - I'm sick of logging into a With Anyone, me and 2 others wanna fight, and someone is super Wario/giga bowser/completely invincible and just gets in the **** way

If you just wanna show off, then just stand there and taunt, don't get in the middle of the fight and slaughter anyone you can reach.

 

[Volt7x]

God Dammit!

Tell me how that goes. I found a Wario-man/Giga Bowser (switched one battle) but we randomly got DC'ed when he started attacking this annoying guy (though he deserved it). By he I mean the annoying guy.

Eh...I always end up desynching.

Ironically, right after I disabled the code, I was put in a match with Warioman. Luckily, he had the same purpose as I did, to be a taunt party guard. It was fun, but it did end up randomly disconnecting on target test.

I'll give it a go one more time.

Eh, since so many people are taking the risk I'll do too. Every single hacked character seems to have been a guard during a taunt party. It's not like I'm gonna fight so Nintendo won't have a reason to ban me for cheating. I'm also trying to see if the code can be modified so button activators can activate/deactivate it.
Do you think we'll get banned if we turn others into Giga Bowser? It would be hilarious if I turned someone else into Giga Bowser, Nintendo thinks that guy is the hacker and ban him.

I've had very little success with this code. Something tells me hetoan released these as a joke.(notice the date he released them on.)

And the button activator should work, but it doesnt work for me with the online music modifier...

And if the button modifier doesnt work, then there is a very good chance he was using a USB Gecko.

EDIT: Nevermind, I finally got it to work. This is too cool.XD

 

[Thunder Of Zeus]

we should try to get some hacks legalized. Brawl+ and textures.

 

[Volt7x]

I went on Wi-Fi as Wario-Man yesterday. We spent an hour waiting and when we finally found room, I was so bored I decided to beat everyone up. I spent the time beating everybody up but only racking up damage so my sister could get the kills. Oddly, I didn't get banned (yet?).

 

[Vel]

I went on Wi-Fi as Wario-Man ... I decided to beat everyone up.

This. This is why I hope they ban hackers off Wifi. I don't care if you hack just so you can taunt and not be touched, but after doing something like this, you should be banned

Wiping the floor with scrubs because you're more skilled is one thing - using a cheat so you're invincible, can't possibly be touched, and you go around killing everyone - that's quite another.

 

[Exce L]

This is great.. I hate hackers..

 

[cookieM0Nster]

Not all hackers are bad. A lot of us don't even use codes on WiFi! I am a hacker, and I spend my time making codes that are FUN *cough*diddy's nintendogs gun*cough*

Don't make a generalization of all hackers when you don't know all of them. For example, Phantom Wings, Igglyboo, Spunit, and Jose Gallardo are awesome. They make hacking great!



Edit: Diddy's Kyogre gun is so BROKEN!!! It makes Metaknight look bad!!! OMG Diddy for top tier!!!

 

[cookieM0Nster]

edit: sorry for the double post.

 

[Ikenomon]

Yeah, like yourself? LOL!

Not anymore. Hacking online could get you banned and also some codes that work online like the Warioman code will give you a big advantage against others and a great disadvantage to your opponents. I am never going to hack online again.

 

[cookieM0Nster]

Yea, alright. Also, did you get my pm?

 

[Ochobobo]

I don't see how they would be able to pinpoint textures. You're the only one that can see them, the other player online just sees the normal costumes.
