Twilight Hack is Just Asking for Linux
Posted by: TheCosmicFrog  - 02-11-2008 03:48 PM - Replies (8)
For a long time many thought that Wii was literally uncrackable. Hackers lost precious hair just from attempting to get something to run on Wii which wasn't an official '.wii' file. Many groups, such as WiiLi, who originally set out to crack Wii and put a Linux Operating System on it, were forced to become a Wii homebrew information site, having giving up their efforts.

First up came the boys who it seems for the first time got some unsigned code to run on the Wii system. Now, not long after this seemingly massive achievement comes Team Twiizers who have been able to get some more unsigned code running on the console, this time through a hacked save file (available for public download) for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

So what does this mean? Well the group are promising what is called an ELF Loader, which in layman's terms means that we could well be seeing a Wii Linux in the next few months. As well as Linux, we would also naturally be seeing a whole host of Wii homebrew games and apps, similar to DS. This spells a lot of excitement for fans of homemade software. Wii Skype anyone?
