I haxored my Wii for the fun of it (actually, it's to run a webserver. Again, for the fun of it.)
What should I install now? I already installed WiiStrobe (To give burglars seizures.) and POWDER...any other good ones?

(Nothing from the Wii Shop channel please, or ROMs of games. Just the freeware homebrew games.)

[Akura]

I already installed WiiStrobe (To give burglars seizures.)

You know, you can actually get sued by the burglar for that.

[quinnr]

Nope, it will be activated by me when I hear the burglar come in. There will be warnings outside.

[HideousBeing]

The wii quake is actually pretty fun. Dunno any other good games. I just use it to play backups because my wii is really loud and for some reason the backups dont make it whirr up as much.

[Googolplexed]

Well, if you haven't done so, make sure you are running the boot2 patch (if you can)

As for games, I don't really know

[ILikePie]

I really should try this, what hack are you guys using?

[Puck]

Heh, I also hacked my Wii just for the homebrew software and not for running copied games.
I haven't even gotten around to install a bootloader, yet, and I probably never will.

The first thing that came to mind after reading this thread definetly is "Harmonium".
Seriously, I can waste hours with this crap. Especially if you are a bit familiar with Conway's Game of Life, you can have some funky fun. Most basic elements for that would probably be the blinkers. I love to set it so the timeline needs to pass the whole table before the next generation is calculated, so basically you create a morphing piece of (very very simple) music. Like so many people have said before me... hard to explain, easy to use. Give it a whirl, you probably won't regret it

Alright, I see you already have powder, which I really do enjoy on the Wii, I just wish I had an LCD screen, because CRT+Powder gives me bleeding eyeballs.

http://wiibrew.org/wiki/ShootMii looks like an alright Scorched Earth clone, but I havent tried myself. If you do, let me know how it is. I don't have the time atm.

http://wiibrew.org/wiki/SDL_Sopwith Just like the old CGA Sopwith Camel for the PC. AWFUL sounds (just like the original) and I LOVE it. (Please dont use this as an argument to dismiss all my other suggestions  )

http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Portii and http://wiibrew.org/wiki/StillAliveWii are both 2D lowtech portal clones, but hey, free and quick to try. I liked them

I didnt try http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Rick_Dangerous_Wii, but I played the original (?) on the Amiga, and I really liked it. Again, if you try, lemme know how it is.

http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Supersonic_Wii decentish rhythym game, a genre I loathe, but if you're into those, maybe?

http://wiibrew.org/wiki/ScummVM You can always find a use for the Scumm Engine, probably. Being able to play your old Lucasarts adventures on the Wii, that is something, isnt it? You just need the proper files to plug into that engine. Too bad I cant find my Full Throttle CD.

http://wiibrew.org/wiki/The_Ur-Quan_Masters Also haven't tried it on the Wii, but hey, Ur-Quan Masters is GREAT.

http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Bash_The_Castle Didnt try on wii (Again) but flash game was a decent timekiller for 2 hours. Some people love it.

http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Helii Probably my most favourite one button game for the wii.

You probably guessed it, I almost exclusively use http://wiibrew.org/wiki/List_of_homebrew_games and it served me well so far.

Have fun.

Oh, and let me say it again: TRY HARMONIUM. it was so worth it to install the homebrew channel just for this crappy little toy.

Strangely when I read the title to this thread I was imagining a Wii a game where you simulate the motions for brewing a barrel of booze.

I already installed WiiStrobe (To give burglars seizures.)

I've heard of that before...

Version I heard was a guy sued someone because he injured himself breaking through a glass window...

[Tellemurius]

http://wiibrew.org/wiki/The_Ur-Quan_Masters  Also haven't tried it on the Wii, but hey, Ur-Quan Masters is GREAT.

its fun and but the author's retarded instructions for installing music and voice sucks.

Piracy ain't piracy when you've already purchased the game once before.

[Puck]

Furthermore, piracy ain't piracy when you steal from George Lucas, after he raped Indiana Jones and Star Wars. It's more like tiny pieces of justice, delivered one at a time

Tell that to Sony and the entire PSN network for its PS1 games.

I tell them every day. They never reply.

It seems there was a patch, and it's practically impossible to install a boot2 patch. At least that's what BootMii says...

[Heron TSG]

There's a version of Toribash for the Wii, I believe.
