Wii Been Hacked! Runs Cutest Linux Ever!

Posted by Jonathan Hunt - Monday, December 31, 2007 11:30 AM

We all knew it was just a matter of time, but now we have video evidence. The Wii has been totally haxored! That's right, just check out the video below and take a look at what these guys have accomplished. In all honestly, about half of what they say is Greek to me, but I'm impressed with the final result nonetheless.

I did catch that they managed to load Linux onto it. All I can say is, "of course they did."

linux on anything makes me excited, but would booting linux on a wii leave it susceptible to being bricked?

ok........was that hacker convention and y did they clap? are they there to show what they can do with linux?

codemonkey:

Everyone clapped because this is the first time someone has managed to run anything other than games on the Wii using all of the Wii's motion sensitive and new processing power abilities.

ugh. 0:49 in and the sound sync is so off it made me nauseous. good job and all, but i'd think if you can hack the damn Wii, you should be able to put together a better video.
