i think i saw something on the wii.com website talking about flash homebrew or something... but i can see the wii having dreamcast like potential for homebrewing... but PLEASE PLEASE give me some more sega emus :P i want master system and saturn

Also it surely wont be long before someone works out how to put a hdd in/on it in fact i think you can get CF to IDE adapters or semething so surely theres SD - hdd.. or even a nintendo one so you can have dreamcast games :D

You can plug external hard drives into the USB port.

[zimma]

would that carry the same limitations as the SD card slot, coz i just found out that you cant run VC games or other things of SD?

Make your own Wii component cables; play homebrew

Looks like the Wii hacking is fully underway this weekend, with guides both on how to make your own Wii component cables (since apparently it's still super difficult for Nintendo to flood the damned market with 'em), as well as to play homebrew games. On the component cable side, it looks like what you need to do is follow the Wii AV pinout, re-arrange the pins on an AV cable, then rewire those to a new set of cables with RCA ends; if you wire it the right way, you can even use a toggle to switch between component and composite. We're not saying it's easy, but it's not heart surgery, either. As for the homebrew, it's appears to be slightly less tricky, but essentially you need an SD card and SD to GameCube adapter, a GameCube Action Replay pack, and some patience while you enter in a 28 line long 474 character code. Enjoy playing that hacked Wii running emulators and homebrew on a faux component cable -- remember Nintendo, the people will always get what the people want.

[Thanks, Ryan]

17r3w i love u

[zimma]

but hang on so if a external drive works, sega and nintendo and in a kinda partnership, so in theory could we potentially have dreamcast games on VC...

but also maybe semi off topic but with sega in a sort of partnership, is it possible we might see saturn or master system games on VC? coz that would be sweet... that or atari roms :D

Whaaaaat?! Your logic is extremely screwed up.
