Surprisingly cheap

(ok, sounds like they may have just made a figure up to drum up interest. This will likely go up in price before they ship it)

Classic controllers also going cheap here at Â£9.99:

Looking at it, Ninty use a very traditional architecture - no encrypted memory a la 360 so this may actually be reasonably difficult to prevent without stopping real titles launching as well.

Be interested to know if it's a one hack fits all approach or whether it requires reading specific encryption / decryption keys on a wii by wii basis. By the very nature of it's simple architecture we should see some interesting Wii homebrew in a similar way to GC / Xbox homebrew

Cheers

Why is this suddenly in here, after something like two years? It was always good enough for bleatings before now.

Let's see the Doctor Who thread moved to Dancing about Architecture, then....

All the console threads have been moved, so expect only conversation from people who are subscribed to the threads from now on....

Or from people who view all new posts.

I've really got into Link's Crossbow Training at the moment - only got two platinum medals so far but really enjoy it.
