    It hasn’t received an official release in almost 10 years, so who cares. It probably has been feature complete longer than that, on a console that at this point is almost twice as old with a miniscule community.

      Its wild to hear it called miniscule considering Wii homebrew at its peak was as big as OG Xbox or PSP modding.

        At its peak, sure. But I mean, how many people do you know who still have a Wii and actually uses it? I happen to have one and it’s actually plugged into my TV, but even I rarely play it.

        I keep tabs from afar, and the only activity I can see in the homebrew scene is the revival of some online games (by bringing up custom/reverse-enginnered servers + patching the games, e.g. Mario Kart, Call of Duty Black Ops, etc.), but other than that, the homebrew scene on the Wii is mostly dead.

          Shame, probably the most widespread consumer platform you can port ppc distros to.

          If I and more time and energy it’d be neat to try and port something over.
