Re: [Gc-linux-devel] I need a gc-linux hardware shopping list

You could dump some traffic with a traffic dumper and create a program that sends the same packets, which has been done before (but in a bad way). This would give you an opensource solution, but the packets that are sent are still "closed source".

Some reverse engineering could also be done on the programs and the sent packets.

I don't know why Costis fears piracy; with the thing he released it is already possible, I don't see how an open source solution would change this. Online cheating (in PSO) is also an argument I've heard but this is already happening, afaik.
