Wii Internet Channel cracked

Flash Player lets hackers get to work on their very own homebrew titles minus Ninty's approval.

It seems that your Wii has a weakness as big as the Death Star itself. And hackers are set to exploit it for all their worth.

According to the lads over at CVG , the dodgy code-loving types have apparently found a hole in the hub's Internet Channel that will let them run home made games without running them past Ninty first.

The console's Flash Player is supposed to be a breeze to crack. It's surely only a matter of time then before game emulators start cropping up, causing chaos for the ever popular Virtual Console feature, which sells Nintendo's massive retro back catalogue.

There's no comment as yet from Japan, but expect a swift response and for any hackers to get both barrels if they get fingered.
