I'm not talking about hardware, I'm talking about a software sandbox.  Think of it this way, can you run a virtualization OS and make changes to the host OS with it?   No.  Nor would you want it to do that.

But you seem to prefer the stick to the idea that Nintendo just hates you and everyone else and wants to screw you over rather than do any actual research on what sandboxing actually means so we'll be ending this debate now.

Except that Nintendo MADE the sandbox.  They have complete control over what the sandbox allows and what it doesn't allow, and they chose to not allow this feature.  So now, likely, the only way to get this feature is to break out of their sandbox or make our own sandbox.  See DIOS MIOS for breaking out of the GC sandbox, and Devolution for making our own sandbox in the Wii scene.

@bold: Actually, depending on what disks you give the virtualized sandbox access to, it can and will be able to access and modify the host OS.

Didn't I just finishd telling you that just because they did it on Wii (which had vastly inferior security), doesn't mean they can do it on Wii U.  Look at the 3DS.  closing in on 2 years and it's still not cracked.   

Are you trying to tell me that it will take longer than 2 years before Nintendo implements a virtual console on the Wii U?   You do know the 3DS received the Virtual Console in just over 3 months.  Are you expecting some super cracker to hack the Wii U's sandbox and security systems in under 3 months ane write the emulation code required to have VC games play on the GamePad?

As for your virtualization bypass, that's not the same thing I asked you.  Acessing the disk drive that contains the OS is not the same thing as accessing the host OS through the virtualization environment.  Besides, the Wii's sandbox won't have access to the ROM that the Wii U's OS resides on.
