Fellow Wii users as I surf the net and visit forum after forum I am amazed at the amount of questions there are regarding Wii Homebrew. Could this be because it’s a relative new kid on the block or is it because there has been such a big growth in Wii sales over the Christmas period? Or is it the financial meltdown that everyone is experiencing that is forcing people to find cheaper alternatives for new games.

One thing is sure and that is, the word is spreading on all the great features that this software will enable you to do with your Wii console. If you are wondering what I am on about I am revering to the ability to play DVD Movies, MP3 songs and being able to backup your existing game discs. One question that is asked by some is, if Wii Homebrew is legal, this is most probably due to the fact that we, as law abiding citizens, would prefer not to compromise the warranty of our new Wii.

Wii Homebrew is indeed legal and it will not compromise the warranty of your Wii simply because of the fact that this is software that you are installing on your Wii. This is definitely not the same as doing a hardware alteration as in installing a mod chip which will definitely void your warranty. The upside of installing the Wii Homebrew software is that it will then enable you to play DVD’s, MP3’s, older games that you have from the days of N64, SNES, Sega Genesis and many more as well as backing up your existing games. I must however warn you that although the installation of the software is completely legal it is up to you to stay legal by not making copies of your friend’s games as you will then be transgressing the law.

Another question that is also raised allot is, How do I install Wii Homebrew? Well that is quite simple, all you need to do is to download the Wii Homebrew installer software and install the Homebrew software on your Wii by following the easy laid out instructions that they provide. The next step is to read their clearly laid out instruction on how to use this software, and that’s all! You’ll be running the Homebrew application on your unlocked Wii in no time!

All and all I think this is a must have for all Nintendo Wii gamers, new or seasoned, that wants’ to play DVD’s, MP3 or older games on their Wii. To find out more about Wii Homebrew please feel free to visit my Wii review site by clicking on the link below.
