The Nintendo Wii was borne to be hacked, see what people have done! Featuring Wiimote mods, Mod Chip coverage, console modding, cool DIY Wii projects and more.
Looks like there is now a way to play Gameboy games on the Wii. There are a few steps that you need to do but it looks like it would be worth it.

If you want to save some money why not make a Wii Zapper instead of buying one.
“I made it from plastic acrylate sheets, but you could also make it from cardboard. A tip is to use cardboard from a cereal box because it have a large flat surface and is very strong or laminate the print. I left the top open so you could easily remove the Wii mote and also could press the buttons easily. I used few elastic bands to hold it in place. Cause I did not want to make it that your Wii remote would get stuck in it and that you could not take it out again.”

All the Wii guns are functional and make the shooting games more fun but none of the guns are very realistic. This hack uses a more realistic gun to make playing Wii games more fun!
“Playing shooters with the Wii is an enormous fun but all the guns I could find were so bad; using the Wii Zapper you need to use a different trigger finger using just the normal Wiimote-mounted pistols is still bad, because using the A-button is complicated…The solution was using an old air-soft MP5 and get a Wiimote in there. Because the first attempt was really a prototype an a friend of me asked me to if I could build him one as well I decided to comment the building to upload it here. It took me about three days to build it”

With a simple adapter board the Wii Nunchuck can be connected to a microcontroller. When this is done you have full control of all the electronic signals that are available. What can be done? How about drive a robot!

It has been sold but you would be able to duplicate the results of this mod with a bit of effort. I wouldn’t recommend you do this to make a profit though since the mod sold on Ebay for only $157.50.

“This is a Nintendo 64 in a Wii case, very different, but it was done, and in all works! it is a Wii case that has been modified to fit a n64 inside, and function perfectly well! There is a power on switch that was a xbox 360 left trigger, that was modified to be a switch! there is no reset button, but that is not even needed anyways.”

This cool hack allows you to enhance the function of your Wii by playing the drums on it! The Wiimote accelerometers are used to read in the user gestures and turn it into music.
“Wii Drum High integrates all three kinds of Wii controllers to stimulate a complete drum set of Hi-hat, Snare, Base drum, Crash cymbal, Ride cymbal, Mid tom and Low tom. Up to 4 sets of Wii remote and nunchuk can be used at the same time. (one of my colleague succeeded in connecting 5 wiimotes to a PC, but I’ve never tried)
This software is written in C# and utilizes Windows Presentation Foundation (or WPF) within .NET Framework 3.5 for user interface and animation. The data from wii controllers is collected using Brian Peek’s WiimoteLib API, and sound is programmed with DirectSound.”

This hack lets you witch between a few NAND Flash chips which would let you select how you want to boot.

“He’s found some extra chips (see below) that are the same as the ones inside a Wii — he then desoldered his System-Menu 3.1U Wii’s flash chip from the Wii, and cloned it onto the two extra chips using an Infectus chip and amoxiflash. This way, if anything goes wrong, he can always desolder this hack from his Wii and go back to the normal one.”

Stacy sent in a cool mod that was done to an ordinary TV remote control that converts it into a Wii sensor bar. Great way to camouflage a sensor bar!
“Dad and I were trying to build a Wireless Sensor Bar and managed to do one that is all wires and batteries. Then He Started digging through all of his remotes around the house and found a couple that didn’t work on anything. so we set off to work on a “Version 2″ so to speak. We took one of the remotes and cut off part of the Circuit board and then drilled holes in the side for the IR LED’s and used the battery box already on the remote and made a sensor bar that is sort of “Incognito”.”
