The Story of How Carg Hacked his Wii


Gather around, kiddies, for today I shall tell you a story to be passed down from generation to generation! Now, everyone sit down shut you faces, for today we shall learn about the time Carg hacked his Nintendo Wii to play GBA games, and much more!

Once upon a time, Carg was talking about the Earthbound series with some friends online, and how he was never able to get Mother 3 to play properly on his GBA Emulator. Shortly after this chat, Carg discovered a fan made Mother 1+2+3 for the Wii! Of course, since 2 of those games were never released outside of Japan, Carg wanted to play this quite a lot. Upon showing this to one his few friends, he said he could help him install the Homebrew Channel on his Wii so he could play this fan made thingy!

Now, the Homebrew Channel is not an official application for the Wii, rather, a fan made software used to run emulators, cheats, and mods on the Wii. So, before anything else, Carg needed to install this channel by hacking his Wii with a certain program! Carg's friend sent him a few files, and told him to put it in an SD card. Of course, Carg ran into some trouble with this, but after minutes and minutes trying to get it to work, they eventually managed to successfully install the Homebrew Channel on his Wii without destroying his Wii.

With the Homebrew Channel installed, he could now put Mother 1+2+3 onto the SD card! Rejoiced from this fact, he quickly installed the program on his SD card, only to find out it didn't work properly! For some reason, when Carg would try to launch any of the games, it would just keep loading, and never actually launch any of the games. Mother 1+2+3 may be a broken piece of crud, but Carg wouldn't let that stop him! He would play Mother 3, no matter what the cost!

After that failed attempt, Carg decided on a new goal: To get a GBA emulator to play Mother 3, and a NES emulator to play Little Samson, a rare NES game that costs 500$ on eBay. So, Carg explained the situation to his friend and asked for both of these things. Of course, if you ask, you shall receive, and Carg managed to install both of these onto the Homebrew Channel, and began playing Mother 3 and Little Samson. And with that, my friends, the tale of how Carg hacked his Wii comes to a close. What other adventures lie within the Homebrew Channel? That my friends, is a tale for another day.

You're not the iBoss of me now!

During lunch, me and my friends usually play games on Steam, like TF2, Garry's mod, and Terraria on our laptops. Sometimes we even play those games in class, so recently, my school got fed up with us ignoring their boring lessons and started blocking various sites, like Steam, Netflix, and a bunch of other stuff I can't be bothered to think of using a program called iBoss. They always had this program, but it was used to block people from looking up certain keywords, like hentai, or naughty language. (Don't ask why I know this), but now, they started blocking all the steam servers. The best part about they didn't even block the games themselves, they just blocked us from downloading them, or using the Steam Store, so you just need to install the games at home on your laptop, then you can just launch them anytime, so really, they didn't stop much at all, they just kind of put a wall in front of our games. Of course, we could just get a ladder from our house and climb over the wall. However, they recently blocked online servers for Team Fortress 2, so I guess we can't do that, so I've been reduced to going on Club Penguin at lunch to annoy little kids! If I can't have a good time playing on the computer, neither can they. Maybe they'll block that, heaven forbid we're playing an online game made for children at lunch. I guess the worst thing that could happen is we start playing our 3DS's at school. I'm not even sure what I'm talking about at this point, so I'm going to shut up and take a nap.
