4.3 is hackable now too *nt*
Posted by Jigsaw on .
It takes very little power to run NES and SNES emulators; Netbooks can run these without any flaws. I've run an NES emulator on an original Playstation One without any problems. The Wii isn't as powerful as a 360 or PS3, but it has enough juice to handle NES, SNES, Genesis, and some N64 and PS1 emulation.
The Wii is the easiest of the three current consoles out there to hack. As long as you didn't update to 4.3 recently the IOS can be hacked. If you have an older model you can run things off DVDs, if you don't it's easy to run things off a portable harddrive (and makes things load faster). No hardware modification is required. You can go online if its hacked. You can make backups of the nand memory in case you screw up modding it. If you accidentally upgrade the firmware all it does is erase your homebrew and leaves the console unharmed.
