GAMING-Adding Homebrew Channel Guide(Wii)

Have you ever seen Youtube videos about Wii system mods and tricks? You probably wondered, "how can I do that?". Well, its all done with the magic of the "Homebrew Channel".

The Homebrew Channel is mainly a giant port or "middle man", you give that "middle man" a new app and he acts accordingly.

 Gaming company giants like Nintendo do not want you tinkering with their system's factory settings and so they give you what is more frequently known as a " wii system update". Assuming this much most people (if connected to the internet through Wii Console) probably have Wii system version 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 . The design behind these versions or updates is to keep you from installing the Homebrew Channel.

But there is a method to overcome this problem its called "BannerBomb". Now what "BannerBomb is a boot file that is downloaded off the internet into your computer and from your computer to an SD memory card. Once inside the SD card, you place it inside your Wii Console. You open your Wii data, select the Wii channel and then select the SD card which will in turn load a boot. After boot is initiated select homebrew channel install and follow the procedure. After installing this your Wii will now have the famed "Homebrew Channel".

The Homebrew Channel is capable of doing many cool tricks and features such as playing DVD's of your Wii, Wii Maps(like Google Maps), Online Radio , Custom Games , and so much more!

Take advantage of the full capabilities of the Nintendo Wii.  I will be covering more Homebrew Tech help and Apps. If you have any questions or need more info just leave me a message and I will be sure to reply to you as soon as possible. Thank and plz subcribe!

JAPAN- Alcohol Free Beer Sales ROCKET!


Kirin Brewery Co. forced to ramp up production to meet demand for its "Kirin Free." Why? Because its a huge hit and the want more!

Kirin - is one of Japan's top four brewers - they had set a sales target of 630,000 cases of the new beer, Interestingly enough that estimate was quickly raised to 2.5 million cases, but on Tuesday the brewer again rocketed the figure to 3.5 million cases.

The Beer popularity is based on a few factors. It's alchohol free(weird I know), cheaper, and anyone can drink it. Japan police have been cracking down on drunk incidents (which is a daily situation in Japan) and this beer keeps its hands clean when it comes to this. It has also been found that Pregnant women drink this beer as well, being that it causes no harm to their babies.(Cool)

I dont know about you guys but I am surely thinking about investing some money on the Kirin Brewer Company. Maybe you should too.

ANALYZING THE MARKET-Nvidia

Nvidia say they want to develope into a broad-based computing company. Doing this would mean they are walking into Intel territory and boy is that a big bite.

"In almost every market they have entered they have become dominant," said Jon Peddie, president of Jon Peddie Research. "Almost 90 percent market share in the workstation business and 55 to 65 percent in the graphics business. But if you're that successful you can't really grow the market anymore, and if you want to keep growing your company, then you have to get into new markets."

Now that Nvidia has new economic competitors they are going to need to new technology and Nvidia has just that. Here are some details on the new Next Generation CUDA Architechture code named "Fermi".


-512 CUDA Cores

-Nvidia Parallel Data Cache

-Nvidia Gigathread Engine

-ECC Support



So far from what I have researched it seems to be quite a "monster" and should fare well with proper implementation. Check out the link for more info on "Fermi" and Nvidia's plans.
