Author here, thanks for sharing! Happy to answer any questions or discuss it with folks.

Dude, this is awesome. El Nuevo Dia on the Wii is peak bori brain. :)

rucury•15m ago

Thanks, Sergio! Appreciate it. Was definitely fun getting it all working and seeing that familiar logo pop up on the Wii of all places!

Since it's HTTP, you shouldn't need to patch the Wii News Channel: you can do all of this in DNS.

i thought the article was going to go there, just redirecting the host to a self-hosted ip address serving the bin, but i was pleasantly surprised it didn’t! interesting to learn about the patching process and tooling used

I was just about to say the same thing - why go through all the effort to patch the binaries when you can just redirect the DNS to your own server?

Then I saw something about signing with RSA - btw OP, the link doesn't work in your blog - there's some markup issues. But there's no discussion of where the RSA key comes from (just that you create one with OpenSSL). Does the Wii just accept any "signed" content? If so, wow, 2007 was a crazy time...

I used to check this occasionally back when the console was new. It is interesting to see that people are still keeping it running. I guess there is a niche for everything.

I really liked the Wii interface as a TV interface. It felt very much like a modern way to navigate a TV. Modern TVs have some of those features, but none with the whimsy and fun of the Wii.

After playing until late into the night, I would browse the weather channel, searching for places on Earth experiencing thunderstorms. Clicking on the icon would play a short audio sample of thunder. The whole thing was overflowing with personality and charm. Wii remains my favourite video game system of all time, and I've owned them all—from nuon to gamepark and back.
