Running MacOS 9 on an Unmodified Nintendo Wii: A Retro Hack

A hacker has successfully run MacOS 9 on an unmodified original Nintendo Wii console! This was achieved by leveraging the Wii's PowerPC processor, similar to those in older Mac G3 machines, and the Wii's ability to run Linux-based OSes. While the installation was challenging, MacOS 9 was successfully booted, running games like DOOM, Internet Explorer 5, and even iTunes (with some audio/visual issues). Attempts to run MacOS X failed, but this feat is still impressive, showcasing the potential of repurposed hardware.
