Wii homebrew – what's it all about?!

My sons been on about selling his Indiana jones game for his wii.
When I looked on eBay to see what they’re worth I got a shock!
They’re going for about £90 because you can jailbreak and use homebrew On your wii?
Can’t seem to workout what’s this is apart from some really basic looking games!
Any help would be appreciated!!!

Sounds like prison hooch 🙂

I had no idea what you were talking about, but i own a wii and lego indiana jones, so I googled it.

Read the link and I’m still none the wiser?

Basically you can add software to the existing core wii software also allows the wii to be used as a dvd player, and for the pirates out there the wii will then play copied games, thus enabling games to be downloaded via pc, copied to disc and played on the wii.

In short the console is hacked and you can do whatever you want with it, nintendo do often send down updates to stop hackers and this may corrupt your wii rendering it useless.
