Wii browser shop "hack"

Today's top slot on the hottest gaming video charts is occupied by the vomiting Wii that we showed you earlier (we're convinced it's another new Nintendo game innovation called Chase the Disc, making the gamer get even more active), so we're moving down to number two -- a way to hack your Wii and surf the web before the browser comes out.

The Wii won't officially have it's Opera 9 browser until later, but clever individuals have figured out how to "hack" the settings on the Shop Channel (which is basically a stripped-down browser), and venture out onto the web. It's not the prettiest solution, but it'll get you surfing until the real thing finally drops.

Thats impressive. Although it seems to take a while to load the screen, once it appears you can scroll from top to bottom instantly,so that isn't too bad in my books. geeze look at all the PC lovers attacking the Wii, of course it ain't guna e like a PC browser

I have not tried this myself.

I'd rather wait to download the official browser rather than do the "hacking" :)

Wow I might do this lol. Does anyone know if this is safe... or even works?

I have messed with it its safe and works btw you can also acess the wii shop from a pc if you use user agent swapper for mozilla.
