If any of you guys have a Wii, I highly suggest getting the Homebrew Channel. It essentially unleashes more power to your Wii, allowing you to install applications. Some available are DVD player, music players, a Google Earth-like application, and... all sorts of emulators... DOS, NES, SNES, Genesis, PSX, N64... it's simply amazing. I've Homebrewed my Wii and it's pretty cool stuff to check out.

I question the legality of this, but embrace the awesomeness. Like most things.

What a coincidence, my step brother just did that for me. Loving the zelda.

How difficult is it to do?

It's not that hard to do, really. All you need is an Internet connection on your Wii and computer, SD card 2GB or under, and a SD reader for your computer.

Ah. I'm downloading it right now. I will turn with feedback when I installed it. Looks great so far.

wikipedia wrote:With system menu update 4.2, Nintendo added code to brick units with altered region settings(such as Korean units moded to US or Japan versions),which is known as error 003. By doing this Nintendo has proven that they have the ability to brick any Wii by any criteria through a system update, if they intend to. Since altered regional settings are associated with pirating, or people moving from Korea to live in Japan, there is no legal question about if Nintendo broke the law by bricking those units. However, if Nintendo decide to brick any Wii with the Homebrew Channel installed sometime in the future, doing that is theoretically not legal since there is no way for Nintendo to know whether a unit has been used for illegal acts just by checking if the Homebrew Channel is installed.
Be very careful what you talk about, keep talk about emulators to a minimum please.

I just stated that there are emulators available for the Homebrew Channel, that is all.

just dont mention what games you have and where to get em... emulators by themselves are perfectly legal, its the roms (and in some cases, the BIOS) that are not.
but moving on, this is fucking awesome news. my neighbor has to know this XD.
