From the discussion
A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.
Interesting timing. Nintendo just shutdown Mariokart Tour on mobile. I went back to my Nintendo Wii which was already modded, and updated it to the latest modded hacks and I was amazed to see more software, stability, and even online gaming brought back! Hopefully their port of Mac OS gets put in the Open Shop…
Same guy who made NT for Macintosh https://github.com/Wack0/Macintosh and GC/Wii https://github.com/Wack0/entii-for-workcubes if you're unaware.
Is it possible to go the other way? Make a PowerMac into a Nintendo Wii?
