Comments on: WiiLi – Live Linux for your Wii http://uneasysilence.com/archive/2006/11/8401/ Sun, 22 Nov 2009 08:06:05 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Matt W http://uneasysilence.com/archive/2006/11/8401/comment-page-1/#comment-294501 Matt W Sat, 18 Nov 2006 10:17:57 +0000 http://uneasysilence.com/archive/2006/11/8401/#comment-294501 Not trying to burst anyone's bubble.....but this guy doesn't have a clue. I read the wiki, soon after he started it and there were statements made by the guy (now removed) that stated that he has absolutely no experience with linux or making it run on any hardware. Period. He said it was just an idea of his for some school project. That has all to do with why he keeps asking for people that want to help. In a nutshell, he assumes that since the Wii is esentially Gamecube 1.5, that linux MUST just run on it, like it did on a GC. I'm pretty damn sure that Nintendo didn't just relax their protection scheme completely, and if it is as simple as running linux in Gamecube mode, then it isn't WiiLi at all..........just Gamecube Linux all over again. Maybe I should start a wiki for 360Linux? Since it ran on the first Xbox, and the 360 plays xbox titles (some), then it must just work..........*POOF*, just like that.
