Newest System Menu 3.4 Wii Update Kills Homebrew Again
Hey, Nintendo—what's going on here? After a good year or so looking the other way on Wii homebrew (for the most part), now we've got two fairly serious brew-killing updates in the last month? Word from the folks at Wiibrew.org is that the latest update, System Menu 3.4, is apparently a doozy when it comes to ruining the homebrew party. More »

Wii Homebrew Is Back Again, Now Supporting SDHC Cards
As predicted and expected, homebrew on the WIi is back thriving after being blocked by the most recent software update from Nintendo. Brewers can go about getting their software back by installing a new version of the Homebrew Channel (which also adds SDHC support for cards larger than 2GB) on their updated Wiis. In addition, if you held out on updating immediately, you can install a tweaked version of the Wii Shop channel that lets you download Wii Ware that only works with the newest update while retaining your homebrew.

DVDX Homebrew Hack Brings Full Wii DVD Playback, Doesn't Require Modchip
All you need is the Homebrew Channel to add your Wii to the hundreds-long list of devices in your house that can play DVDs. Previous DVD hacks required a modded console, but now you can grab a .DOL file and install a DVD-capable version of mplayer without opening the hood. It should also play video files off of an SD card, although this is still experimental. We haven't tested yet, but if you do, let us know if it works. [Hackmii]

Wii Pack Generator Builds Custom Wii Homebrew Installers Via Web
Acting as a one-stop repository for all things Wii homebrew, the Wii Pack Generator brought to you by the WiiBrew folks is a handy aggregator for all of the various homebrew apps scattered around the Web. Just click the checkboxes next to the software you want (including getting things started with the Homebrew Channel via the Twilight Princess hack) and download it to an EXE or ZIP file that's set to load on an SD card. It definitely beats trolling dank homebrew forums for the latest updates. [Wii Pack Generator, Thanks tipsters]

Wii Homebrew Can Now Read Burned DVDs, Play PSP Games?
Couple of news tidbits from the shadowy Wii homebrew scene today. First is what is supposedly the first custom Wii firmware that its author, Waninkoko, claims will allow the Wii to read burned DVDs without any hardware modification. And from the "just for the hell of it" department is a separate announcement of a PSP emulator running successfully on the Wii—albeit at a blazingly unplayable four to eight frames per second. The PSP emulator smells a bit more of fish than the DVD-R enabling firmware, but neither have been tested officially. [Waninkoko, DCEmu via Slashdot]

An Easy Guide to Wii Homebrew
The will she/won't she back and forth of the Wii Homebrew scene lately probably has a bunch of you, even if you're a veteran, confused. WiiHD has a good walkthrough teaching you how to get Homebrew onto your Wii, if only for the privilege of playing Quake and various other games. Piracy, on the other hand, isn't covered by this guide, so you'll have to look elsewhere. [WiiHD]
