Ok, I just realized I made a mistake. When I said so be it, I meant that if it isnt possible, then it isnt possible. I accepted the fact that Nintendo would own it. (English is my 2nd lang.)

Fine, fine, +1 point to you

About the TOS, exactly what part of it would be causing this legal change of ownership?

[kurisu]

The whole "dirivative works become property of Nintendo" deal somwhere in there. It has been a while since I read it, but I distinctly remember something to that effect being inside of it, in the section that dealt with homebrew stuff.. the Wii TOS is huge anyway.

In that sense, how come there's an Xbox port?

but then why do you think most websites wont host it and tell you to get it at "the usual place"

All you guys are terribly mis-informed.....

There is an Open Source Dev kit developed by the The fine people at www.Wiibrew.org so ALL homebrew on the wii is 100% Legal with NO Nintendo Binarys whatsoever! There is nothing stopping anyone from porting Stepmaina to the wii...

Nothing like the situation with the xbox scene.... because the Nintendo Dev Kit is NOT used where as the xbox one was...(although it was unnecessary to use since there were open source kits for that too.)

YOU are misinformed.

It doesn't matter HOW you get the software there, the fact is, Nintendo claims ownership for ALL (un?)authorized software developed for THEIR system.

Whether you use an open source or proprietary dev kit, you are still bound to Nintendo's ToS.

Onilink, you have a slight error in your logic: If you use a legit devkit, you will have payed and set up a production license with nintendo, wherin you retain your rights.

You are correct on everything else, and the above guy is quite incorrect in the legality of such things.

If it's not 1st party, and not licensed thru nintendo, it is, by deffinition and TOS license, illegal, and fits under what I call the "ownership clause" of the Wii TOS.
