The Nintendo Wii is the first new console (I won’t say next gen) in this generation to be successfully modded. Modchips for the Nintendo smash hit was made available already a few months ago much to the chagrin of Nintendo and the delight of geeks who have no qualms about “piracy”. Nintendo has tried to address these exploits by making physical changes to the console but every single time it has been  thwarted with the arrival of new chips that break this new protection.

Now, there is a new exploit that can be chalked up against the Wii, and this time it’s a doozy.  The new exploit allows for homebrews to be run on the console without even using a modchip. All one needs is a copy of the Nintendo bestseller Zelda: Twilight Princess and balls of steel. The exploit means that you have to crash the Wii before running the new code. Based on the instructions posted on the net, it will really take a lot of study to follow it because it is confusing.  But if you really have the knack to do this kind of thing then just go to this link and follow the instructions. Good luck!
