Hacking Wii U Homebrew Wish List - Homebrew Idea Thread

[Mr. Mysterio]

Spoiler: MEMES, for EVERYONE!!

For those who don't know what a meme is (like me), here you go:
A meme (/ˈmiːm/ meem)[1] is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture".[2] A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate, mutate, and respond to selective pressures.[3]

I'd love a lossless screenshot tool in PNG format. The Wii U's browser caps the resolution at 720p and heavily compresses the image, regardless of where you upload it.

You can buy ridiculously expensive video capture devices, but a homebrU to do that would be nice.

Ah yes, just gonna hook up my $300 (or whatever) El Gato HD capture and... Wait... What?... THERE WAS A FREE SOFTWARE SOLUTION THIS WHOLE TIME?!

The above is my submission for a commercial that can be displayed in the GBAtemp banner adspaces

Exactly why this would be a great feature. Those things cost way too much money, and they still compress an image.

Better have a hefty hard drive to dump to, though

It might really wild, but for an OS, Windows 10 would be interesting to see running, considering a Raspberry Pi can run it, it shouldn't be too far-fetched to run it.

PPC cant run Windows, iirc. That's why Bootcamp doesn't exist on pre-Mac Pro computers

Considering the Wii was able to run DOSbox and subsequently Windows 95, perhaps not Windows 10 may work, but there may be another version that's older that could work, say, XP or 7 (Not Vista because it sucks).

Also FYI, since this is a wishlist thread, (almost) every idea is a good one

 

[csgolawliet]

Steam would be great
