Homebrew wars find new battlefield

A brand new way to hack the Wii has been discovered. For ages, the only simple way to hack a Wii was to use the Twilight Hack, which uses a hacked save file for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess to run homebrew apps such as the Homebrew Channel installer. This new method involves a hacked custom stage file for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The most significant way in which this differs from the Twilight Hack is that you don’t need to copy a custom save file to your Wii, meaning it’s much more difficult/impossible for Nintendo to fix with a firmware update. The hack has not been made available for public use yet, but it is apparently coming soon. Check out the above video for a demonstration. (The good stuff doesn’t start until just before the minute mark, so feel free to skip ahead.)
