STOP DOING GAME CONSOLES

-

POWERFUL COMPUTERS WERE NOT MEANT TO ONLY PLAY GAMES FROM A SANCTIONED STORE


-

YEARS OF LOCKED DOWN USER ENVIRONMENTS YET NO REAL WORLD USE FOUND FOR APPLICATION SIGNING


-

Wanted to restrict users to playing games for a laugh anyway? We had a computer for that: it was called an "ARCADE MACHINE"


-

"Yes please verify boot0. Please verify the bootloader and kernel." - Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

"Hello I would like the dedicated security co-processor to verify the app signature"

They have played us for absolute fools

@thememesniper 🤓 um actually boot0 (assuming wii/wiiu) isn't "verified"
usually the first stage of the boot process is implicitly trusted and stored in immutable (and hidden) storage like mask rom

@thememesniper I'm going back to bed and crying myself to sleep for the weekend.

(Arcade vendors aren't better, with encryption, SlapSTIC bank-switching bullshit, Capcom and their evil CPS suicide batteries, just to name three.)

And oh... even after everything stated above, those developing emulators eventually crack the stuff anyway.
