news via wiilinux
It’s official, a Custom Wii Firmware is in development. It may not be the feature packed firmware that you’re looking for, but it truly is a massive leap in the Wii Hacking Scene.
Recently, Marcan, one of the more publicized Wii developers, was interviewed for another website. During the interview, Marc let some news items fly.
Some of the more interesting points include:
Homebrew Channel Beta 9 - This channel will include new features that many have been asking for. It will be more of a minor update, focusing on stability rather than new features, but we will be suprised with what is included in the new release. The channel could have been released already, but testing was stopped because of testing for the… Wii Custom Firmware - In general, the Wii custom firmware has no features that are new. It would operate exactly as your current firmware does. The difference however, is that a “Recovery Menu” will be implemented to restore the NAND memory, even if “has been completely and utterly trashed”
