Its True! They have DOSbox for Wii!

I have tried it within a few games its got some bugs for sure, and I don't think the Wii Hardware is powerful enough to run DOSbox at full speed(depends on the game)....Still its kinda neat to have a DOSbox command-line, on a big TV through your Wii! The only game I have gotten run so far is Jazz Jackrabbit, Commander Keen won't work.

Awesomely enough, ScummVM as also been ported to Wii too. I haven't tried it yet but you can find it here: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/ScummVM

Thats easy enough to fix there Glantzer! You don't even need a Modchip.

Do this: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Bannerbomb and install this: http://bootmii.org/ you'll be on your way to the wonderful world of Wii homebrew! It worked for me perfectly!

All you should need is a SD card and a reader. Its completely worth it, there may not be many games yet, but the fact that you can use ROM emulators makes it all worth it. :D
