Wii Homebrew A.K.A. Let's Get Crackin'

[dohclude]

I am fairly astonished at the non-existance of succesfull homebrew running in Wii mode on our modified Wii's. It just seems like there is alot more to offer with full access to the front SD slot. I am on the verge of starting a sub-site on my domain specifically for this type of developement, so if anybody is interested, or if you have any experience in coding for the GC or similar please hit me up. I know it might seem pretty unreachable at the moment, but if we get some heads together I think we can really get something going. I honestly do not have any leads on this as of yet, because I don't think anybody has even attempted this yet, if I am wrong please correct me. Mainly, I think we need to start with comparing the difference between the GC disc layout and boot methods, with the Wii counterpart. Lets see what we can pull off. ;)

yep when you crack the security then you can do it but untill its done were stuck with cube brew..

i personaly think its going to happen this way: some one will figure out how to 'crack' VC games and then it will take off from there. the Wii is still young and we gotta take it one thing at a time its stupid thinking its going to all happen at once

easy there killer... nobody ever said it was all going to happen at once. That is not the point I am trying to get across here. Hacking the VC will be a very important step, but I'm not sure if that's actually the right step in the direction if Wii mode homebrew. If I am wrong please correct me. I think that since VC games are memory based (SD and internal) that they might work slighly different than the actual booting of DVD media in the DVD drive. It just seems to me that if we can boot GC homebrew already, that a comparison of that with the Wii game images and boot process would be a step in the right direction. I am not claiming to be a wwwyzard at any of this, I am just using what little I know about the Wii and software/hardware in general to conclude this. I would honestly like to know alot more about this sort of thing, so if anybody can at least point me in the direction of some useful information I would greatly appreciate it. One step at a time is how anything should be executed, if you want to do it right anyways. What I said about hacking the VC might not be entirely true though. If we can figure out how to bypass the checksum of the VC games, we might be able to figure out a way to run homebrew from the VC or maybe even directly from the internal memory space. So much to do with the Wii, and so little info to get started with kind of sucks, but I guess a challenge will bring out the best in the hombrew scene hopefully.

heres your step in the right direction http://www.wiili.org/

Did you even read that site? There is nothing about Wii homebrew there. Just a bunch if software and drivers for using your Wii Remote with your PC... :confused:

wii homebrew will happen when an exploit is found or when a real modchip comes out.

i can picture all the pornographic homebrews now lol.
