I don't know a whole lot about homebrew and hacking game systems. I guess I'm a script-kiddie when it comes to the consoles. So maybe someone can clarify, with this hack would it be possible to enable the Wii to play CD/DVDs somehow?

If so, I have a younger brother who would be totally stoked, since he has no DVD player but only a Wii in his bedroom.

Also, the homebrew scene has a lot of possibility with games here.

And guess what? Next weeks introduces some really big virtual console game like Mario RPG that requires a firmware upgrade to buy and squashes this.

Ah, good. Now that the homebrewers will be making minigames, hopefully the professionals will finally deliver software that is actually worth $50.

That hack won't be something a company would use. This is just for the homebrew crowd. (which also means you'll be getting things like Code Handlers/managers [GameShark, ActionReplay, etc] for free!)

Snail's pace? Didn't look too slow to me. If you pause the player and let it finish loading, everything plays at normal speed.

I had a Wii for a couple of days and after smashing my room I switched to the xbox 360.

The idea of people being creative and expressive with their Wiis is great and all (making their own games, or interesting apps), but how many people are honestly looking forward to running only homebrew apps now that they have an idea how this is done (thank you Joystiq for spreading the word!), and other legally made and/or obtained content?

Hearsay that PAL and NTSC LoZ:TP and Wii launch and later versions are/aren't compatible.
