Wii Menu hacked to pieces
Homebrewer Crediar has recorded a video of a truly epic series of Wii Menu hacks that pretty much bust the system open. All kinds of hacks are on display, both cosmetic and substantial.
Most notably, Crediar has opened up the system not just to discs from every region, but channels (which suggests Virtual Console games), and, according to the text included with the video at DCEmu, GameCube games as well. The Wii's "rescue menu" (used to boot diagnostic discs, apparently) can now be used to boot all discs. And then, for fun, the health warning and the background music were disabled. Now that's just showing off.

Now if he can just get the menu to accept gamecube controller input...

Still waiting for this to lead to DVD playback

Seems different from Waninkoko's region changer. Either way, the easier it is to load GCN games from another region, the better, as that's the only major accomplishment the Wii homebrew community has left to do.

So does this mean that loading of burned nintendo dvds is now possible? I thought we were kind of trying to not do that this time around.

Not really. Thankfully, those who are hacking the Wii are reluctant to enable use of backups on unmodded consoles.
You can still get a modchip for that, y'know...

Modchips aren't worth it imo.
Might as well wait for the Homebrew community to advance in doing so, or wait for something like the PS2's SwapMagic to be made.
