Many of you have been using the Homebrew Channel for the Wii for a while now. Good for you, it's a useful, useful thing. But did you know it was, technically, in beta?

Remember that video we showed you of the work-in-progress DSi flash cart? Yeah, well, work has progressed.

Latest Wii Update Will, As Usual, Attempt To Block The Homebrew Channel
Posted by Luke Plunkett at 3:00 PM on November 18, 2008
If you bothered to turn your Wii on tonight, you'll have been prompted to perform a system update. It'll take your Wii to version 3.4. Version 3.4 does nothing new except, and I quote, "automatically remove" any "unauthorised modifications to save files". That's your edited Twilight Princess save files, users of the Homebrew Channel, so as with most firmware updates, you'd do well to stay away from this one if you want to continue getting any expanded use out of your Wii.

DSi To Stop Flash Cards, Kill Homebrew?
Posted by Stuart Houghton at 7:20 AM on November 1, 2008
The Nintendo DSi may come with an SD card slot, prompting fears of even easier piracy, but the redesign will close the boot exploit that allows flash devices like the R4 to load arbitrary code.

PC & PSP, Livin' In Per-fect Har-mo-nee (RemoteJoy Lite)
Posted by Stuart Houghton at 11:00 AM on September 6, 2008
Thanks to the ever-busy PSP homebrew community it is now possible to link a PC and a PSP together via USB Cable and a little plugin by the name of RemoteJoy Lite. Using the app you can hook up your Windows PC with your handheld and play PSP games on the PC screen.
Truly, we live in a Golden Age.
The video above gives a rough idea of what the app can do. As ever with homebrew software, you are responsible for your own device - don't come running to us if it makes your PSP implode into a nugget of dark matter that ultimately leads to the creation of an alternate universe where your evil doppleganger has a beard.

Wii Dongle Might (MIGHT) Unbrick Your Bricked Wii
Posted by Luke Plunkett at 5:30 PM on September 5, 2008
This thing's called the Wii Recovery Dongle. You clip it into your Wii's GameCube memory card slot and, if you're in possession of a bricked Wii, it might (provided you've got the skills) just help you save your console. Might. To be honest the specifics are waaaaay over our heads, so if you've got a dead Wii on your hands and would like a more detailed run-down, the kids at HackMii are the ones to see.

Quest For Glory II Is Back, Yo
Posted by Luke Plunkett at 11:20 PM on August 25, 2008
Quest for Glory II is the greatest adventure game of all time. That's not opinion, either. It's fact. Science. Only problem is, the game's from 1990, so it's also a little...rough. No more! Thanks to the team at AGD (who have also done fantastic restorations of the first two Kings Quest games), the game's "quaint" old VGA graphics have been updated, the timing of the real-time puzzles have been made easier and dialogue is now taken care of via menus, instead of having to guess via text input. Oh, and it's 100% free. In other words, the greatest adventure game of all time just got greater.
