The Wii is starting to turn into the reverse of Doom. Instead of Doom running on everything, the Wii can run everything

So the Wii can boot Mac OS <i>and</i> Windows NT <i>and games?</i> That has to be the most versatile PPC machine in existence.

the problem with running games is the fact the GPU has no drivers, only basic framebuffer support

I would LOVE to see MacOS X on a Wii U. The Wii would've totally be good for this if not for the resolution and memory limitations.

Seeing operating systems on places they were never meant to be is pretty amazing, macOS on a Wii feels right for some reason, no idea why. Great work to the dev! The Wii CPU is also closely related to the 750CL which is also close to the PowerPC G3 which is what apple used to use in the 2000s for their macs which i assume is how it works.

I envy those people who have time to tinker with these absurd experiments. My own work/life commitment does not allow me to do those things
