I'm in your Wiiz playing yourz gamez
hey cmon.. i thought this comment was kinda funny...
The important part is being in the Wii you /purchased/, /not/ playing _their_ games.
..if you get me.
It will soon be assimilated. I don't know if my next desktop will be a Wii, a PS3, a rig built from parts or what.
..the 360? Still worthless.. and still a microsoft product.
because he did miss the "cat factor".
For a moment I thought today was Caturday... oh well, no joy.
too many clickies on the video...oh no!
This is progress for peeps who believe in pushing hardware to its limits and hacking where things are locked down. It's great news for everyone. However, I'll get excited in the near future when an easy hack has been distributed and stable and functional unauthorized 3rd-party games are available.
This hack is supposed to be a quick and easy one. Despite having to own Twilight Princess and an SD card. Both of which any respectable Wii owner likely does. And it shouldn't be too long before we see this stabilize greatly and become a great hack for Wii owners.
The possibilities of third-party indie games is a great one for this system. I'm holding out a great deal of hope for this. Now that the soft-hack is possible, I don't want to resort to a hard-hack more than ever.
Waiting for the inevitable Biir Pong...
It's already out. It's on Game Party
where's the "hello World"?
but incredible news
I'm still waiting for the rest of the video to download. Is it that popular of a topic?
Gaaaaay!!! cal me when theres wii doom.....
STFU
hey, that would be cool tho
Yes, but isn't the US Twilight Princess immune to this? Only the Japan versions?
Incorrect. There are versions that work for this. It just requires the right ones.
Not only that, but this is just a temporary solution. Just like the old way of booting a custom firmware on your PSP through Lumines or GTA:LCS the 'requirement' of Zelda Twilight Princess to boot homebrew will soon be eliminated.
Also, the video is in... y'know... english...
Isn't it a custom for something along the lines of "Hello World!" ?
Or did that fad die ages ago...
They've already done it. IIRC, it was the first thing they managed to do. Pong is now the next step.
YAY! Now we can play a nonfunctional 40-year-old game on the Wii.
Interestingly enough, nonfunctional pong is probably better than half of the Wii games out right now.
You fail.
I wonder if the Pong will ever be played????????????????bushing????rsec??
(If you don't remember the original Zelda hack, you won't get it)
