Inappropriate?To developers : I have some informations about Wii for you :
Wii use PPC builds you will need devkitPro here : http://www.devkitpro.org/
Also you can look at Linux for Wii : http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_apps...
Other usefull links :
http://wiibrew.org
http://www.gc-linux.org/
I’m confident

Inappropriate?sorry to say but Wii Linux POC is just command prompt right now so its probably better to use devkit. ive never really did anything like this before except for a little HTML dont know where to start 1st
I’m confused
-
Inappropriate?It doesn't matter, there is already Geexbox and MFE out, so Linux is usable !
I’m confident
-
Inappropriate?My guess is, that the Wii isnt sufficiently powered enough to run songbird as smoothly as it should run. Memory spikes and Cpu usage would leave that poor thing screaming.
Would be a nice side Project, to see, if it runs at all (almost like the old Linux habit in trying to run a kernel on every piece of hardware on this planet, just to see, if it works), but I don't think, that it would be useful, nor ever become useful.
Just my 2 cents.
Tyler out!
I’m not sure if it will run
-
Inappropriate?cant test any of this anyway since i dont have zelda TP2 Comments

SHOCK! Stop what you are doing, right now and go get a copy and play it. NOW! -
ive played it on both consoles by rental, never finished it. one of them was almost finished.

Inappropriate?Since PowerPC support is dropped, the Wii port would be more difficult now :

I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?It shouldn't be any more or less difficult... Songbird continues to build on both Mac PPC and Linux PPC (we just aren't providing officially supported builds)
-
Inappropriate?Yeah, I need to contact some Wii homebrew to see if it's possible to do this ;)
I’m excited
-
Inappropriate?now that Hack Mii has released a DVD lib theres more of a chance that we could use Song Bird. that is before nintendo patches it
I’m amused

Inappropriate?@FarStrider
This change nothing, we load homebrews with SD Card... and SB don't support DVD
Thing is we need a good Linux port on Wii with the ability to run software like Firefox or Songbird!
I’m confident
-
Inappropriate?well i read that someone ported win amp's streaming ability

Inappropriate?Linux is now running in graphical mode on the Wii
So I think it should be now easy to install Songbird !
