This rules. It’s exactly the kind of cursed side quest that sounds fake until you read the writeup and realize you actually did the work.

I'm shocked that the Wii only has 88mb of RAM. The programmers of that era really knew how to make a lot from a little!

Honestly, I would have said the same. Great work!

The Wii is very moddable. I've modded my Wii in the past just for playing modded versions of Super Smash Brother Melee (mainly training packs, like flashing a red light when I miss an L-cancel).

I wrote that L-cancel training code! Funny to see it come up out of nowhere. I too have always adored the Wii and its moddability. It'd be my go-to choice if I someday ever get the itch to write console homebrew software of my own.

Yes - this project (and countless others) would not have been possible without the incredible work to hack the Wii from Team Twiizers (now fail0verflow) back in the day. The work they did was a huge inspiration for me getting into computer science when I was a teenager.

This is extraordinary, not only pushing the limit but documenting everything so clearly to show people what can be accomplished with time and dedication. Thank you for such thorough documentation, and congrats on getting it done!

It is satisfying to see someone hacking on deprecated hardware and software also is keen to look forward into Vision Pro.

Unrelated to the article but please compress your images. Why is one of them almost 8mb!?

In love with projects that are done solely because 'why the hell not'. Fantastic writeup and work.
