The Twilight Hack

[CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK]

Okay, so what this is, is pretty much the only way to play homebrew (Indie console Games, home-coded software) on an unmodchipped Wii.

It's pretty new, and updates often. I haven't tried it yet myself, though.
I DID download it, and the file size is really small. good if you live in Australia, or some other place with limits like that. It's a save file for T.P. that you load onto an SD card from your 'puter, copy it to your Wii and override your save. (you might want to back your old save up on the SD card, if you haven't beaten it yet, though).

The Homebrew Scene for Wii is still in its infancy. But this could just about revolutionize it, for the fact you don't need to Void your warranty. or buy a Modchip. The Team working on it is also working on a Wii Homebrew Channel as well!

The only downside is, given that the Wiihomebrew scene is small, theres not much for it. There is a Linux Proof of concept, a shareware version of Quake, a few emulators, thats nearly it, sadly. Still worth checking out of you own a Wii and can borrow or own Twilight princess.

what you need:

1. an SD card thats Wii compatible. formatted as FAT16. (just FAT in XP)
2. A copy of Twilight Princess thats been ran at least once.
3. Some way to read SD cards on a computer
4. (Optional) A USBGecko (for some stuff)

Awesome, I'm sure some will fine it useful.

Yeah, saw the proof of concept a few months back. They had some videos showing the save file, loader, etc. Nothing major, but a proof of concept. I've never modded any system and even though this isn't a 'mod' as it is an exploit in the Zelda Game, I don't see myself using it. If the homebrew grows big enough then Nintendo might just release a patch that fixes it. This is really the first time that Nintendo has the means to fix things like this if it wants to. It will depend on how they view this on whether we will see a fix to it (if Zelda can even get patches, as the game itself may not allow it).

See yeah, thats the thing. I don't think that they can update/fix the patch , but i do think they can Make all the games Pre-patched. I just thought this was awesome, and had to share it.
