Wii Homebrew Explosion

[wraggster]

The worldwide interest in the Whole Wii Homebrew community over the last day in particular has been astounding and reminds me of the day when PSP Homebrew became a reality, yes its not easy via the Twilight Hack but you dont have to mod your console so thats a major bonus :)

The release of the Snes (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=93474) Emulator, the Wii MP3 Player (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=93359), the Gamecube Dol to Elf (http://wii-news.dcemu.co.uk/dol-to-elf-converter-released-play-gamecube-homebrew-on-wii-via-twilight-hack-93475.html) Converter, Tetris and Wii Linux (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=93478) have topped off a very exciting time for homebrew fans from any scene.

i cant wait to see whats coming next :)

Personally some type of region free hack is one thing i would like to see and full Wiimote control on games

Whats your Wii Homebrew Wishlist ?

A version of ScummVM with wiimote support would be incredible, imagine being able to play Sam & Max, Loom and Monkey Island again on your sofa whilst point n' clicking.

Otherwise the next major hot topics for me are playing imports (Smash Bros. Brawl till autumn? f*ck you nintendo) and emulators with lightgun support. Operation Wolf on MAME anyone?

Firstly, I'd like to see this possible with the internal SD slot.
But other then that, I'd like to see Genesis/Mega Drive emulation, a hombrew shooter like Ikaruga, and N64 emulation.

I was wondering why it cant use the internal sd addaptor but it would be nice to see reigon free so i can import smash since its not till fall but atleast we get mario kart soon.

2 major steps need to be taken first. 1) executing Wii games via this exploit in a Debugger. VC games too so a trojan can jump in and figure out the protection.

2) Extract the system firmware for analysis

some good releases in the past few days but i already own a modchip, but you can do much more with this exploit

[TheLazy1]

I'd like to see:

Doom (with split screen)
Dosbox (hopefully this will get someone to write a PPC recompiler)
Media player
Super mario war

[Shadowblind]

PS2 emulator :p

i wish for usb hdd support to be added since nintendo won't give it to us. If we had hdd support we could have another great media center. And it would give us a lot of space for emulators and the awesome homebrew that would follow.

[Dbgtgoten]

I personally wanna see the internal SD slot function via the exploit, a Custom Firmware/Exploit in the firmware to set Emulators/homebrew as channels, A exploit to prevent autoupdating if nintendo decides to change and/or a way to play newer games with a low firmware the hdd sounds good cause all i got is a crappy 1gb mem card would be nice to have the wii there and call it the emulation system XDDD play any game you want :thumbup:

[splodger15]

A CFW would be sick but I can't see it happen I personally just want a big homebrew selection that will do me nicely

[souLLy]

I just bought my Gamecube SD memory card from deal extreme for some ridiculous price like $5 including shipping :D

For me a media centre like XBMC (imagine wireless streaming!) and SCUMM VM are my dream apps. Of course emulators and the like are always very nice :)

[DPyro]

Hey soully, me too :D
