Ó
The folks at WiiLi.org are after a very important bounty, it seems. In fact, it's so important that they're making it a race for folks to cash in on their technical skills. At least, it will be once the bounty actually goes live.The quest? Boot Linux on a Wii. The prize? US$ 499 (possibly more) and the knowledge that you completely pwned every other techie who took up the challenge. The bounty is currently a draft though, so there's no official word on when this race actually starts, but here are the specifics of the criteria for winning the prize as drafted on April 20:
- Boot Linux on the Nintendo Wii without voiding the warranty.
- Using attached hardware on USB, etc, is fine, as long it is documented what it does and where to obtain/build it.
- X needs to run.
- Wiimote, keyboard, mouse, dvd drive, sd-card and network support.
- Documentation off the code execution technique on the Wiili.org wiki.
- YouTube video and how-to.
- Any files used to do it must be provided
- Needs to show the full av cable during the whole video to make sure it is for real
- No cutting out parts of the video

If they wanted to, they could have created a XBox version of Linux, or adapted a current version to run on it properly, but no-one was that bothered.

I would suggest not updating your system or opera browser for a bit, this is likely to lead to many things.
