Hi hak5, weird first post, I know, but I figured some of you might be interested in how far wii hacking has come since back in episodes around 500.
Particularly, brawl hacking:
pluggin my own stage ftw
Out of all the hackable games that the wii has, this is by far the most developed/widely used.
It all started out with the file replacement code by Phantom Wings, texture hacks began appearing, communities formed. New programs such has brawlbox were developed to make the process easier. Soon there were ways to develop completely new movesets, stage hacking and sound replacement began. Then vertices became editable, and today there is little that can't be changed within the game. Even things such as CPU AI and menus, expanded stage selection, and most recently, the complete replacement of one character over another.
With all this came the development of large-scale projects:
other smaller projects can be found here, I just named the main 4.
If you're interested in hacking your wii or using these mods, here is a near failproof guide. Honestly its ridiculously simple to install homebrew and use these mods, and I doubt any of you will have any trouble.
