That was the first way Wii owners got homebrew software running: the Wii version of Zelda: Twilight Princess didn't do a bounds check when reading the name of the player's horse from a save file. http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Twilight_Hack#Explanation http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Twilight_Hack#Explanation

the real way we got homebrew in the wii in the first place was because of a awful RSA implementation done by outsourced devs in the USA. http://events.ccc.de/congress/2008/Fahrplan/events/2799.en.html http://events.ccc.de/congress/2008/Fahrplan/events/2799.en.h...
