A few new tutorials have been created on the forum lately. Quite a few of these can only be found on our forums.

For more information on creating Wii backups the standard way, the Creating Wii and Gamecube Backups tutorial is still a good read. A Backup Wii Games to SD card tutorial has also been made by tom35, though it requires an SD Gecko.

Tom has also compiled a list of sicknasty413’s Wiimote and Nunchuk LED modifications into a single thread, which is a good place to start when researching those types of mods. Other Wii modification tutorials can be found in either the Wii Case/Hardware Mods section, or in its child forum known as Wii Remote Hacking.

Sven Peter has updated Sven’s blog with information on the USB status for the Wii.

I’ve (finally) been able to create a patch for libogc today which just got accepted and adds my usb-storage code to it - just wait for the next release or get the CVS version if you know what you are doing. Thanks again to shagkur for some miscellaneous fixes and hints to my code.
