Hacking Hello World on Wii

[TonyCool]

I just found this video... I think it's real...

real

Those videos are always questionable, but the simplicity of this makes it seem credible.

I'm sure this is real. With the ELF loader, we only need a library to start coding. But those experienced with ASM and knowledge of Wii's registers can start coding simple demos immediately.

 

[Salamantis]

Nice! I like the scrolling text

 

[Awdofgum]

it looks pointless.

It's hello world. Please go away now after the comment you posted

Yay helloworlds. I hate those, sorry.

 

[Xeronage]

Don't want to seem egocentric, impatient and selfish but...
Where are the first programs to load burned wii disks? 0_o

 

[elomaniak]

those guys are working on the zelad exploit loader

 

[cyr0x]

It would be awesome if someone can greate a channel and write it in the flash with this methode so you can load Iso's from HDD with this channel or something like that.

 

[CockroachMan]

This is just the beginning.. have patience people..

 

[Maikel Steneker]

I hope they'll at least release a working, stable ELF loader in the near future. I bought Zelda: Twilight Princess because of this, but of course I also want to play the game. As I want to use the first slot for the ELF loader and the second for the game itself I'll have to wait until they'll release one... Oh well

 

[Mr_Grinch]

Folks wishing for a loader do realise that's almost the opposite of what people are aiming for with this hack...right?

It's by and large an opening to run homebrew, not an opening for piracy. Undoubtedly if full homebrew is achieved through this then someone will more than likely write a "loader" but at present that is definitely not what's being aimed for.

I truly think the homebrew scene for the Wii will explode, should the exploit prove fruitful.

 

[Heran Bago]

A hello world is pointless AFTER what we already have. A hello world demo should come before an ELF loader or any other text you could make it say.

Not really, since the Hello World program is being loaded with the ELF loader..

 

[FoxMcClaud]

I think this just a homage to the team twizzer (or how they are called), not really a prove of concept, like most of the "hello worlds"

Get the homebrew starting

WII Media Center would be great!!

 

[katsuce]

wii media center would be kind of pointless, who would like to watch movies in 480p when an old xbox gave access to HD movies?


however, running games from an HDD, or making the system entirely region free would be great. the best is yet to come
