The Wii 'Twilight Hack' has been upgraded to version 0.1a3, also known as Hello Grandma! Perhaps responding to complaints from Wii's elderly demographic, purveyors of the Twilight Princess exploit have laid out a process that's as simple as popping out that little card from your digital camera and copying some files right next to the folder of 'Senior Night' at the bowling lanes. Insert into your Wii (see image above) and *POOF* ... you'll be playing a second-rate version of Tetris in no time!
For those still uncertain about just how easy Wii hackery has become, peep the video walkthrough after the break.

The Wiimote has a builtin speaker and microphone and a nice bluetooth range.
Skype Headset? Yes please!

The hack isn't very exciting but what it will lead to will rock my world.

I was just playing the Tetris thing with this (only an OK clone).
I tried using Linux but it froze while booting up. Which I find odd for a release product that runs on exactly one type of hardware. Maybe it didn't like my SD card. Ah well it was only a qiock port of GameCube Linux... I'm sure we'll see a more refined version as time goes on.

This has nothing to do with the article but I think this guy is using OsX in a pc because of the mouse cursor locator to prevent tearing :P.

GBATemp is the one with the story, which you can view if you click Read. My comment was on topic and I was merely trying to view more information about this. GBATemp is now fine.

Hi! I tried this on my Wii with a SNES emulator, the emulator ran ok, but the controllers stopped responding, I mean, the Wii didn's froze, because the animation kept running. Any ideas?
The emulator is Snes9xGx-2.0.1b8.

the only homebrew that works with the SD card so far is tetris, and I believe the emulators and I believe emu_kidid's mp3 player. the emulators still need to be changed to work with the SD card, so give it a little while.
but there are good things to come, so keep updated!

Funny thing is when I read this I couldn't think of a single game that I'd want to pirate on the Wii and I owned one until my eBay auction just ended last night.

Im really excited about the non-pirate wii game possibilites. All the little indy game maker people can now make wii games absolutely free! Hopefully now well see indy game slike n+ and the knitt games on wii for free, plus some options as far as interface and apps, cuz nintendo is notorious for doing stuff their way and not caring what the consumer wants.
