Seeing as how Nintendo has been using proprietary media for their last two home consoles to help prevent piracy, what will they be doing to stop piracy with the virtual console? What's to stop someone from transferring Virtual Console games to their PC's via SD cards and putting them on a file sharing network?
I don't know, what?
If I had to take a stab in the dark, I'd say that the virtual console games you purchase are branded by your Wii's "friend code" so it can only be played on that Wii.
That's just my guess, though.
That would prevent you from being able to bring games to a friend's house though, and Nintendo's mentioned that a use for the SD cards would be to take VC games to a friend's house....Perhaps Nintendo is going to go the Apple route and sort of accept that piracy will happen, knowing that they'll still make tons of money selling VC games.
I highly doubt it.Quote:

XBLA doesn't seem to have this problem, and you can slap those on a memory card and run with them.
Is there an easy way to transfer files from an XB360 memory card to a PC? If not then maybe that's why.
They are linked to your Mii and Wii. You cannot take them to a friend's house. I can't remember where I read this, but it's real. If you change systems, you have to call customer service to have them move the rights.
This doesn't make sense since iTunes AAC files have ridiculous DRM restrictions.Quote:

There are at least 2 devices that allow you to move saved content from HDD/Mem Unit to PC HDD.Quote:
