News from Auby

Current work in progress have made it possible to run ELF files from an SD card inserted in the GC card slot, and this is the result:

DIGG THIS

It's just my old Pong demo written for GameCube a long time ago. Controls doesn't work yet, and there are more to fix before a release, but at least things are moving forward.

and now the fun begins, i hope this scene will be huge and rival that of the psp.

looks like I need to get Zelda before they patch it.

pure awesomeness. hopefully they'll be able to launch stuff from the normal SD slot as well as the Gecko USB and SD slots, so i can get straight to playing

I don't see any reason why they wouldn't be able to. I hope more stuff develops soon as I'm anxious to start playing homebrew on my Wii

I just hope they can make an ELF Loader that can load from the Wii's SD Slot because I'd rather not go and spend $20 on an adapter that the Wii already has built in...

Harshboy: I came to essentially say the same thing.

I hope that future projects work to enable the SD card slot so that additional hardware (gecko for example) is not needed. Sure I already own one myself but my little brother doesn't so I'd rather spend the money on a larger SD card.

How how much longer till we get some tetris brew?

**SSaxdude** · February 14th, 2008, 01:49

Almost makes me wish I didn't sell my Wii. Oh well, I still love my PSP to death.

**urherenow** · February 14th, 2008, 06:20

if it's running code in "Wii" mode then why is it using the GC slot to load the ELF? Sounds fishy to me... Still pretty cool but I'm not buying an adapter for that.
