Re: [Visualpython-users] VPython on Wii?

[<wsw...@nc...>]

It is actually possible to get code to run on a Wii, but it is complex and
not worth the hassle.  Basically, you need to mod your Wii by opening it
(voids warranty) and soldering an expensive chip onto the DVD drive's
circuitry.  This allows you to run homebrew code through the Wii's
GameCube emulator.  Basically, what I'm saying is that you wont be able to
use the Wii remote, and it will have the same effect as running VPython on
a GameCube.  If you -really- seriously want to do this, mail me personally
and I'll tell you how it could possibly be done.  But, I really don't see
why you would want to.
