Re: Can we run Windows on the Wii? (was Silly question about a Wii Possibility) - 15 years ago
QuoteDrLuckywhat about remotely controlling a Windows computer from the Wii? that could work.. I used logmein to control my computer via a web page on another computer. Maybe a pluggin for a future homebrew web browser could work... Hey, that's a cool idea. Woohoo. I like the creativity here. :-)by tico1177 - Homebrew General
Re: World Of Warcraft HOMEBREW GAME CHANCE - 15 years ago
Ummm Where do you get that I am saying Wine is an emulator. In fact, I said "Basically Wine enables a Linux user to install Windows Applications and run them on Linux." That is not emulation. Emulation is simply running the software without installation. Wine ALLOWS installation of Windows apps to Linux so they can run in Linux. Anyway, what I am thinking about is an emulator that will tranby tico1177 - Offtopic

QuoteTantricHit your controller. Yes, I'm serious. Believe it or not, this is the actual solution. I had the same problem before and searched it out online. I was led to Nintendo's Support site where they tell you to firmly hit the controller onto the palm of your hand. That will fix it. I think there might be mercury inside and it gets stuck...by tico1177 - Homebrew General

Quoteekeekeunlike your computer, the Wii has limited power so the response is probably no, not even worth the try That's true too. Another thing that is true is that the Wii is simply a small form of a PC but a different CPU architecture. I think the major problem would be the PPC to x86 emulator. Getting the translation to work would be one thing.by tico1177 - Homebrew General
Re: World Of Warcraft HOMEBREW GAME CHANCE - 15 years ago
This is a question that I was thinking about as well. I understand that Wii has a PPC processor and that makes it difficult to even consider running a game that was purely designed for the x86 family. So here lies the real conundrum. I think the best steps to try and take would be to try and create an x86 emulator. After that, try and get an external HDD to house Windows XP. Then the Winby tico1177 - Offtopic
Re: Can we run Windows on the Wii? (was Silly question about a Wii Possibility) - 15 years ago
I see what you guys are saying... I know we can get WoW to work in Ubuntu with Wine to install Windows applications. So it might possible to get Wine to work in the version of Linux for Wii... Hmm. I will see what I can find out with some research. I think it would be awesome to project to complete. :Pby tico1177 - Homebrew General

Can we run Windows on the Wii? (was Silly question about a Wii Possibility) - 15 years ago
Hey all, I am about as new to this as you get. I have some familiarity with programming but am no expert per say. So I finally loaded Homebrew and am excited to see what can be done. I will probably d/l the Devkit for some fun and tinkering. Now one thing that came to mind is the architecture of the Wii. Can it be compared to a computer without a HDD? If so, do you think an externalby tico1177 - Homebrew General
