People love to get all excited about leaks of official SDKs or code... but really, rarely are they all that amazing. Early on in development of homebrew for a console, they can help make things move much faster, but at the expense of legally tainting everything they touch.

The only thing that comes to mind is that having the PLL register documentation (which is always one of the most nigh impossible things to reverse engineer black box) might allow someone to try to overclock a Wii. Maybe. Not sure if it's possible.

Really, these leaks are mostly just fun because you get to *see* what they were thinking, and also things that got dropped. Did you know that the Wii was supposed to support using Wiimotes with GameCube software? There is supposedly a hardware SI emulator in the Hollywood.

Apparently BroadOn planned to do this... by sticking the entire USB and Bluetooth stacks in Starlet SRAM. Gee, I can't imagine how that didn't work out... Though if you tried hard enough and cut a lot of corners, *maybe* you could squeeze something in. Anyone want to try?

But Devolution already does this in a more flexible way anyway... So again, we're past that. So while I certainly find it *interesting* to read a full Hollywood ACR register documentation, it isn't going to lead to any breakthroughs.

Now if the leak *really* contained full Verilog for the GPU, for example, that could help resolve long tail emulation mysteries... But no sane emulator developer is going to want to taint their project like that. But it doesn't, so this is a moot point.

Must be nice to be able to see that stuff in the open though, right? Like getting the answers to a test to see you got almost everything right :)

They aren't. Signatures are only checked at install time, so channels don't actually need to be signed as long as you have some exploit path to get them installed.
