So, I've installed Homebrew Channel onto my Wii before. However, I didn't find it very useful; all I could do is let me mess with stuff in the game of my choosing. I have a question regarding that. Is there any way to host created games hia a hack channel?
If not, I'll be the head designer of it. Directing, User Interface, etc. So let me know if you'd like to work on one, because I as a freelancer developer would love being able to host custom Wii games on it.
(PS: I did ask Nintendo about WiiWare, a Mr. Rickens informed me that I'll need tons of experience, proof of said experience, and an office. Since I have moderate experience and no office, I'm screwed over for WiiWare.)
EDIT: If anyone recognizes me from the Bungie forums, yes, it's me. The 360 has gotten boring, and since I own a Wii I'm giving it a fair chance. Hell, I'm saving up for a PS3.

I mean, for aspiring game developers to host games they created on the Wii. Like Indie/XMA Games on the 360, only on the Wii and via hacks.
Sorry for my strange way of speaking, I'm mostly German and Prussian so I speak quite a bit differently than the norm.

I can fake an office, my dad owns a restaurant an hours journey from my home, and i could probably photocopy a certificate from my IT teacher. See, if a 15 year old IT examiner can do it why not you

By this, do you mean you want to make a WiiWare channel to download homebrew? Cause that ain't gonna work. As far as Nintendo (and any other games company) is concerned, homebrew = piracy. Usually, they choose conviently not to crush it, and some encourage it in a way (like XNA Game Studio for Xbox 360, which lets people make "homebrew" officially, but is limited). Basically, Nintendo, while they dont actually try too hard to beat homebrew, they probably wont actively support it by allowing a homebrew downloading channel into WiiWare. Oh, and also, if you did do that, you'd have access to the official Nintendo SDK, which may mean you can no longer legally develop homebrew, because you know too much about the official stuff, and could accidently (or purposefully) add that to homebrew libraries/SDKs, endangering their legality.

Bushing seems to think slightly different if you watch his conference on wii hacking, he said that nintendo put more effort into stopping wad piracy than stopping HBC installs. How long has it taken then to actually make a system menu that stopped the twilight hack, when they said they would delete unauthorised channels did the HBC stay?
you may be right that they feel the homebrew is piracy but they sure aint acting on it

I think they recognize the difference between piracy and homebrew, and take action against piracy, but at the same time, they have to give the appearance of fighting homebrew, get what I mean?
