The controversial Waninkoko has discovered a way to boot burned Wii games straight from the Homebrew Channel. While this means you can now back up your Wii games, it also means its far easier to obtain pirated Wii games. However it also opens up many new possibilities for the homebrew scene. I’m hoping for a live Linux distro with a full graphical UI (hopefully icewm). Mainly though, larger homebrew games could be made, and easily distributed.

It should be noted that this has not been released to the public, so sites are reporting it as a rumor or unconfirmed, though the source (obviously) says its real.
