Wii Officially Hacked!

Great presentation (video) to give you a little idea of how Nintendo secures/encrypts the wii and how it has been circumvented.
video fixed *tactix*

According to internet reports, hackers at 24C4 demoed a full Wii hack that provides native Wii homebrew with full access to the Wii hardware without the need for GC mode. They were able to find all the encryption and decryption keys by doing full memory dumps at runtime over a custom serial interface. Using the keys it was possible to create a Wii game that ran their own code

The guys over at 24C3 just demoed a Wii hack that is set to provide native Wii
homebrew in the near future (not running in GC mode, and with full access to all the Wii hardware!)

They were able to find encryption and decryption keys by doing full memory
dumps at runtime over a custom serial interface. Using these keys, they were
able to create a Wii ‘game’ that ran their own code (their demo happened to show live sensor/Wiimote information, amongst a few other things).
Ahem hello world sd backup loader or maybe a play backups/homebrew wii channel
