Wii Menu Hacked... To pieces!

[cosmo2389]

As reported by WiiFanboy, someone has managed to hack the system's menu, and a couple other great things as well!

Homebrewer Crediar has recorded a video of a truly epic series of Wii Menu hacks that pretty much bust the system open. All kinds of hacks are on display, both cosmetic and substantial.

Most notably, Crediar has opened up the system not just to discs from every region, but channels (which suggests Virtual Console games), and, according to the text included with the video at DCEmu, GameCube games as well. The Wii's "rescue menu" (used to boot diagnostic discs, apparently) can now be used to boot all discs. And then, for fun, the health warning and the background music were disabled. Now that's just showing off.

Very very interesting news! Region free games, rescue menu... I can't wait to see what other features this may lead to!

You can find the original article here.

Just found out someone beat me to it, sorry...

Even if this was posted elsewhere, you put it in the News section, and it's neatly presented so may as well keep it here.
