How to Get Beta Nine on the Wii From Homebrew

Hacking a video game console, such as the Nintendo Wii, is a growing trend in the video game community. The Homebrew Channel develops homebrew applications, allowing a gamer to customize the Wii Channel. Customizations include adding software that is not on the Nintendo Wii, including emulators and homebrew games. Beta Nine is the newest version of the Homebrew Channel software. Homebrew is a game made by nonprofessional game developers that you can play on the Nintendo Wii or other consoles.
