The fact that Microsoft is talking to Nintendo's partner for motion-control means that the Wii - with its inexplicably deficient processing power (and no hard disk) means that the Wii's days are numbered. And I'm a "hard core" (if that term can be applied in any way to the Wii) Wii fan.]]>Dec 28th 2007 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/Dec 28th 2007 8:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/Dec 28th 2007 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/Dec 28th 2007 6:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/Dec 28th 2007 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/Dec 28th 2007 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/Dec 28th 2007 11:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/
As homebrew goes, I'd say, Wii at moment is pretty OK - http://www.infendo.com/wii/top-16-sites-to-browse-on-the-nintendo-wii-internet-channel/ - thanks to Internet Channel and unofficial Flash SDK.

I also see little gain of running Linux on Wii: w/o HD support, being confined to 480p, making something better than Wii's own firmware would be very hard. I'm also not thrilled about running VLC on it - VLC is pretty crappy as video playback goes. Mplayer isn't much better. And I hardly see anything else interesting what one can run on hacked Wii.

As for pirated games, this is last of concerns: Wii doesn't have at moment extensive library of games as PS2 or DS do. It is easier to buy the games (except of course you - as I - do live in PAL region where some games are not release at all or cost 3-4 times more than in Asia/US).]]>Dec 29th 2007 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/Dec 29th 2007 7:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/
I have been using it on Windows, Linux and Mac OS for last 3+ years.

They still can't fix audio/video sync jitter issues. Pause button has awful latency of something like 1 second. Pausing causes snaps/cracks in audio (which VLC tries unsuccessfully to workaround by muting audio for first second or so after unpausing). Support for subtitles is literally non-existent compared to Windows counterparts (e.g. Media Player Classic + Haali Media Splitter + VobSub). And heck, it is still crashing now and then.

[Mplayer has no jitter/pausing problems, but has the same problems with subtitles and added problem of constantly missing A/V sync if there is any other CPU intensive application running on system.]

VLC is to me reflection of multi-media on Linux: if it works - then it works. Otherwise, sorry - everybody has different priorities.]]>Dec 29th 2007 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/Jan 1st 2008 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/Would definitely replace my current behemoth of a web server, and Wii-powered folding could beat the PS3's contributions by stamina alone.]]>Dec 29th 2007 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/Dec 29th 2007 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/]]>Jan 2nd 2008 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/28/nintendo-fully-hacked-for-native-homebrew/
Using the same logic, I could say you should go to jail for being stupid -- because being stupid is, unfortunately, not a crime.

What we are discussing here is a technique for hacking a special-purpose computer to function as a general-purpose computer, not hacking bank software to email someone your account number.
