First Applications and Games from the Wii’s Twilight Princess Hack!
As you’ve probably seen over the past few months, the Wii homebrew scene has been growing like crazy due to the developments with the Twilight Princess hack. With a “soft mod” type hack available for the Wii, all it takes to run your own homebrew applications are a SD card, the internet, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and a little work. After getting all your stuff set up and loaded onto the SD card, you can load up some emulators that have been created so far, as well as unique homebrew applications.
So far, a small handful of applications have been ported over to the Wii, ranging from the expected (like the Tetris hack), to the archaic (look at Pong!). One of the more recent releases from the Wii Scene is this barebones Chess game, ported from a simple C++ chess program written way back in 1997. While they may not be the most exciting of games at the moment, the Wii homebrew scene is just starting up and showing mounds of potential.
Check out these games already ported over to the Wii!
Pong (Poor quality, but you get the idea)
Tetris (With launching instructions!)
