Wii gets a Hello World, too: homebrew team hacks the Wii via Zelda |
Listed in: Wii Tags: Exploit
Ó
Well, it's sort-of-official, but until further material comes out, we'll have to put this one under rumors: it seems that the Nintendo Wii has already been hacked, and with a Hello World code to prove it. Well, more like a Hello Bushing code - Bushing being one of the homebrew minds responsible for the feat - but as it stands, yes, it does look like the Wii has finally been unlocked, ready to be used to its fullest potential. Awesome.
Following the demonstration in last year's 24C3, the team behind the applause-raising homebrew showing finally found an exploit with the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess savegame handling. Coupled with the discovery of a secret processor chip buried inside the graphics chip of the Nintendo Wii, the team was able to pull off the almost-impossible: a Hello World string being displayed.
It's to note that while the exploit itself was run on a modified Wii, the team assures that it runs just as fine on an un-modded console - seeing as they used a retail copy of the game. With just a bit more time in the homebrew oven, and lots more hard work - who knows what we might be able to do with the Wii next? Updates as we get them, and you can check out the full interview with Bushing in the via link below.
