Breakthroughs in Wii Hombrew Scene.. Date: Tuesday, February 26 @ 00:12:21 CET Topic: Art Games It looks like the Nintendo Wii itself (ie not the WiiMote and a PC) is well on its way to becoming a platform for creative exploration. Here's a summary of recent events to this effect. The GC Linux team have released a proof-of-concept distribution of Linux that will run on the Wii. Here's a HOWTO for running hombrew code on the Wii using a GameCube SD card adapter. A SNES emulator has been released for the Wii and runs in "pure 100% Native Wii mode" (!link may be suffering from heavy traffic and/or seems temporarily broken. I'll keep checking up on it) If you hear of any strictly artistic or experimental applications being developed for the Wii using these new tools, be sure to let us know! Brought to you via /.
