Nintendo Wii hacked? Real Wii Homebrew with Full Hacked Hardware in the near Future?
Good news for those of you who want to see homebrew (among other things) run on your Nintendo Wii. According to Nintendo-Scene, that at the 24th Annual Chaos Communication Congress (24C3), a presentation of a fully hacked Nintendo Wii capable of running native homebrew with full hardware access has been completed! There is even a Youtube video of this hack actually running!
Ski Freak wrote in to tell us of an interesting presentation that took place at the 24th Annual Chaos Communication Congress (24C3) right now; it would appear that a fully hacked Wii capable of running native homebrew with full hardware access has been presented.
From the report:
The guys over at 24C3 just demoed a Wii hack that is set to provide native wii
homebrew in the near future (not running in GC mode, and with full access to all the Wii hardware!)They were able to find encryption and decryption keys by doing full memory
dumps at runtime over a custom serial interface. Using these keys, they were
able to create a Wii ‘game’ that ran their own code (their demo happened to show live sensor/Wiimote information, amongst a few other things).
