Fixing a hacked Wii via Nintendo (Wii misc)

Brakken wrote:

It seems that Nintendo is now charging almost to full price for a Nintendo Wii if you’ve installed unsigned code on the machine that resulted in a “bricked” console. This is surprising as their warranty clearly states you wont be covered if you install unauthorized software on your Wii. Bricking your console can happen easily if you install illegal copies of VC/Wiiware games or WAD’s from unreliable places like GB@Temp. However, like I warn users in all of my reviews and guides you indeed void your warranty by installing unsigned code (aka homebrew) on your Wii. I have no sympathy for the people who pirate VC/Wiiware games and I think Nintendo should charge double the cost of the Wii to replace it.

Q1Rev (Release 1) (Wii Game Port)

A port of id Software’s Quake for the Nintendo Wii.

The source code comes from Q1DS (an initial attempt to port the engine to the Nintendo DS), which, in turn, comes from the original WinQuake.

The engine is feature-complete, it plays the game at 30fps with no hiccups or any similar problems. It can also be used as a client for Internet-based gameplay, as a “unmodified” NetQuake client.
