Wii VC inner workings documented, web browsed through packet redirection
Some uber 1337s have used their handy-dandy packet sniffers to look inside how the Virtual Console works. I won’t post the whole story, but I will summarize.
-Wii uses a modified version of Opera to download Wii Shop Channel information.
-These javascipt objects can be accessed by PC.
-Adding Wii points is secure and uses SSL.
-And Wii Virtual Console games are of course encrypted and tied to the system.
