Wii Gets Custom Firmware, Purported PSP Emulator

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the radically-different-definitions-of-working dept.

Engadget is reporting that some recent unofficial Wii modding news has had a couple of interesting breakthroughs. First, it seems that a team has released what is being called the "first custom firmware for the Wii" that supposedly allows writable DVDs to be read in emulators. Second, the folks from TeamShift have shots of a "working" PSP emulator for the Wii. Unfortunately "working" only means between 4 and 8 frames per second, so still a long way from playable.

    The name "Wii" refers to the penis size of the folks who bought one(note that women do not buy them because they are busy going out and being laid by the REAL MEN). It seems to be very popular here on Slashdot.
