Jul 18, 2015 - I'm starting this thread to get the Wii Mini hacked. Traditional Wii itself worked before could figure out how to reimplement them on the wii mini. Oct 8, 2018 - As far as game consoles go, the Nintendo Wii was relatively small. That's the high level summary anyway, the reality is that this a mod of.
Yesterday, we heard hackers had managed to expand the 30 game library of Nintendo's NES Mini.
But it seems Nintendo may have been expecting enterprising fans to take a crack at the microconsole's security - a secret message has been found within the system's code.
The message was written by an unnamed programmer under the alias of 'The Hanafuda Captain' - a reference to the Japanese hanafuda playing cards which Nintendo once sold before breaking into the video game business.
Here it is in full:

'This is the hanafuda captain speaking. Launching emulation in 3...2...1. Many efforts, tears and countless hours have been put into this jewel. So, please keep this place tidied up and don't break everything! Cheers, the hanafuda captain.'

(@bakueikozo) January 6, 2017Hackers have now been able to load their own digital images of NES games onto the NES Mini by breaking into its programming and uploading/downloading new data to a PC via USB. The device actually has a hard limit of 60 game slots, double what the NES Mini launches with.
It's not an easy method, however, and it risks bricking your NES Mini in the process.
