Team Twiizers relates plans for the future of SaveMii

The future of SaveMii - Image 1Here's some behind-the-scenes news from the Wiibrew community concerning SaveMii, the anti-brick dongle for the Wii from Team Twiizers.

bushing explains in the hackmii blog that they are exploring a way to increase their production of the dongle to meet demand.

They received so many orders, in fact, that they are exploring a way to increase production with a small-scale Chinese factory production run.

However, they also explained that how the presence of mass-produced clones of the dongle would affect their plans, saying:

SaveMii took a lot of reverse-engineering work to make, but compared to modern FPGA-based drivechip designs, it will be pretty easy to clone — and we know this. When you buy an Authentic SaveMii, you’re not just paying for some parts — you’re supporting Team Twiizers’ past and future hacks!


Listen up, would-be cloners: the market for this device is probably not big enough for two or more teams to be selling competing devices. We will all end up with a bunch of unsold devices, which will probably hurt us more than it will hurt you — but it’s still a lose-lose situation.


That’s the carrot — now here’s the stick:


We canÂ’t compete with a mass-produced clone of SaveMii. If someone makes a serious effort to sell one, we will probably release all documentation, sources, schematics, and everything needed to make one. marcan will even release sources for his earlier PIC-based version, which is a lot less optimal but tinkerers are more likely to have the parts at home. WeÂ’d rather give this to the world at large and let companies fight for the profits than worry about it.

I feel bad for them, they can't even make a decent product without people screwing it up.

this actually makes sense. for the sake of Twiizers I do hope that people dont try to make knockoffs of it. I cant see there being a big enough market to make a retirement fund off this.

First off, I don't see any clones popping up, so it is a bit speculative on the part of Team Twiizers, possibly in an attempt to make their device look useful and worth the purchase. The fact is, Stinky_1 is right, there is not enough demand for this product to make it worth retiring on for any company (or team) nor making it worth cloning. Frankly, I don't see anyone buying this, and the idea that there is more demand than product, again, sounds like a gimmick to try and make the product sound like something people should rush out and buy before they are all gone. The fact is, most of their cards are probably sitting on the shelf collecting dust or being used as in-house tea coasters.



Don't get me wrong, I think Team Twiizers have work hard and contributed much to the Wii community, but this is a preemptive statement for fear that their product is a flop and I honestly think they are trying their best to recoop any losses by making is sound like they are the number one target of copycats. Like the schematics are the plans for the Deathstar and Princess Leia might sell them to the highest bidder and find a Deathstar on every galaxy corner.
