At a German hackers event called24th Annual Chaos Communication Congress, some crafty/smart/nerdy types have just demonstrated what seems to be a Wii hack with full hardware access.
Through their voodoo, they were able to find encryption and decryption keys by doing full memory dumps at runtime over a custom serial interface. This allowed them to run their own code. They hope to use this “in” to provide native Wii homebrew access in the future.
Here is a (non-embeddable)YouTube videodirectly from the hacker event. If you’re anything like me, you won’t understand anything that anyone is saying in it. The audience applause in the end is pretty impressive, though.
Wait, why are we hacking Wii consoles?
