Homebrew developer Albert "isboel" Herranz and his team has released a new roof-of-concept application, showing the Nintendo Wii being able to run the operating system Linux.
This is a port of the GameCube-Linux project from the same team. According to isobel, this proves that viability of having GC-Linux distro contained in an ELF file.
This runs in a unmodified Nintendo Wii console with the help of the Twilight hack v0.1-alpha2 loader. Before doing anything, be sure that you have the following in your possession:
* A Nintendo Wii
* A SD card
* A SD card adapter for the Nintendo GameCube
* (optional, recommended) a USB Gecko adapter
Once you've obtained the following requisites, all you have to do is download the file which we hosted below. It contains a Readme.txt file which will provide you with instructions on how to install and use Wii-Linux Proof of Concept v0.1.
