Hacking Bluebomb: An exploit for the Wii + Wii Mini

[jeffyTheHomebrewer]

I know this sounds kinda stupid, but since this just needs linux and bluetooth, does that mean that a hacked switch running linux could hack a wii mini?

I described the process regarding the Korean 003 error unbricking with the bluebomb exploit in a video, it might be helpful to those who were never successful with the other methods (disc swap and such).

Make sure to turn on the English subtitles as I use my native tongue in the video.

Is there any particular reason why the source code for stage 1 was not released?

Now, is possible to use any controller that connects to the Wiimote. Is there any one that's like a Gamecube controller?

With the fact this means we can now use ethernet, has anyone tried installing the Opera browser channel again to see if it works?

The browser is extremely outdated and even if it works I wouldn't recommend using it for anything but testing that Internet is working.

As I said before it mysteriously vanished - If someone wants to target a Wii Mini, a niche console, using an extremely niche browser, and somehow get them to a corner of the web to do so... What exactly would be the point? The thing doesn't even have the Shop Channel.
The thing was never meant to run it. It would be cool to find out if it does or not. That's the point.

There is a controller extension that is like the Gamecube, check the comments on the video

Yeah, the Classic Controller also works okay for a lot of games. I just wanted people to comment about it here.

Fun fact - at least on a PAL Wii Mini, the Opera channel does indeed work via the LAN adapter now. Obviously useless with non https sites etc but hey - we know now.
