The Nintendo Wii has been hacked
Yes folks. Its official. The Nintendo Wii has been hacked. Soon you’d be able to get a homebrew Nintendo Wii and it’ll even make you coffee (kidding!). Kudos to the dudes at the 24th Annual Chaos Communication Congress for making our lives complete. Now I’d wish they’d send me a demo version so that I can tear it up.
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).
Here’s a link video of that conference. The Wii segments starts at 59 minutes.
