BlueStar Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 A hacked Zelda save file has allowed people to run their own code on the Wii from an SD card Hello World proof of concept http://wii-scene.blogspot.com/2008/02/hello-world-wii.html Basic pong: http://www.auby.no/files/wii/pong.swf Before some idiot starts the witch hunt of "OMG, piracy lock thread, kill the infidel!" this hack does not allow you to run burned discs, copy VC games or anything like that. Indeed the people who made the exploit have said they will never code anything which would allow people to bypass copy protection. Would be cool for a Wii homebrew scene to start, that headtracking demo was cool on PC but it would be awesome if people started making apps like that that could actually run on the Wii.

Emasher Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 That's awesome. Hopefully as the generation goes on someone will find a better way to access apps on SD cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.dakota Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 If home brew gaming can be successfully done on Wii, without risking piracy, then i'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applaud all the homebrew stuff though, although I could already pull this off on my Wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
