And you don’t need to modify your console to use it…

  Games ‘n’ Music comes with a 128MB Micro SD card for you to store your games and data, and if that’s not enough, just slip in a new card and expand its capacity to up to 2GB. It’s really easy to use too. Just fit the Micro SD card into the USB adapter (supplied), plug it into your computer and drag and drop your files onto the card. It’s that easy!

  Games ‘n’ Music contains everything you need straight out of the box. It even comes bundled with a 25-game CD, offering some of the best games the DS home brew scene has to offer, as well as a video conversion program for your PC (Windows XP or later required) to convert your movies and video clips to a format you can play back with Games ‘n’ Music. It’s the ultimate in digital entertainment!

Also, word on Datel's Wii SD Media Launcher:
DatelThere's a wealth of really excellent home brew material out there for the GameCube, but how do you get it to run on your happening console? Our GameCube/Wii SD Media Launcher has the answer...

With GameCube/Wii SD Media Launcher, you can run all your home brew Cube software on an unmodified GameCube, or on a Nintendo Wii in GameCube Mode. All you need to do is download the program of your choice from one of the many web pages dedicated to amateur programming on the Cube (Google for 'GameCube home brew' to find dozens of sites). Drag and drop it onto the 1GB SD card supplied with the Media Launcher, then plug it into your Wii or GameCube. Launch the application CD on your console and the home brew program is run from there. Easy!

Everything you need is in the box. The pack includes a software CD, 1GB high-speed SD card, a USB SD card adapter and an SD media adapter to fit in your Cube's memory card slot.

I hope they asked authorization to the authors of the homebrew they have selected !

otherwise, it's cool... I wonder what is Nintendos official position about homebrew...

Well, i would think it to be wierd seeing how its easier to pirate their games vs running homebrew.

The Games'n'Music sucks

Sure, it runs music and video (abit crappy), but homebrew support is limited to apps that do not need to access external files (IE config files, roms, music, ect). And on top of that, there is no DLDI driver available for it.

Instant lose for GnM


The Wii SD Media Launcher, however, looks promising.
