Didn't see this posted elsewhere, but then I haven't been here in a while.

Anyone understand that well enough to try duplicating it?

No, I certainly are not capable of that. 
What this means to the homebrew comunity of it's legit is alot! I hear now people are worried about Nintendo updating the system to make this impossible. They could do that, but if the homebrew scene are faster to create their own FW then there won't be a problem, ever. 
Nintendo server: Wii need update!
HBFW: Wii do not!
Nintendo server: Yes, here you are.
HBFW: Ok, "updated"
Nintendo server: Ok, fine. Play that damn game which needs this new FW.
Just speculations, but that could work. |

| I think this is more hardware related than firmware related... Well, the initial exploit anyways. The encryption keys that they mentioned will probably be changed by Nintendo ;/ |

That's what I meant, they could just add a rutine that will clear or change the unused memory in GC mode. Or something like taht. |

They already have the encryption keys afaik... Nintendo can't really do anything now, unless they intend to break all of their older games. |

There's that. They can also change the hardware on newer consoles. Though there are almost 20M consoles sold. |

for some reason that sounds a lot like the PSP's homebrew scene
Hopefully Nintendo will be less 'security patch update' happy than Sony. |
