Greetings to #wiidev @ EFnet and ElOtroLado.net.

Svpe has been using the recent developments of the socket interface and have created a loader that loads stuff over TCP.

It is a TCP server running on the Wii that listens on port 8080 by default that will run any binary that is sent to it. Both DOL and ELF executables is supported. There is no IP address display in the Wii part, yet.

Mr. Mirakichi has updated RIN for Nintendo’s Wii. RIN is a
Gameboy and Gameboy Color emulator for the Wii, based upon TGB Dual.

When this utility is booted, it looks for and deletes duplicate Wii Channels, such as the ones you may get from booting a Wii game title from another region and installing an out of region update (for example, Japanese or European Weather and News Channels on a US Wii).

** Use only the version meant for your region, or you will accidentally delete the channels from your Wii’s native region. **

Tile Lister displays contents of Wii NAND flash FS.

Wii Homebrew Launcher is an interface similar to that of the wii menu. It allows you to start homebrew stored on your SD-card in the wii front sd slot. Each program is represented by its own customizable “channel”.

The Wii Proof of Concept Linux mini-distro is a small Linux OS for the Wii, based on GC Linux.
