[edit] QUESTIONS

• Question: What was the 'Linux Bounty' money collected from donations to this website used for (donated to GCLinux, who created the first Wii Linux distro, donated to Wiibrew?)?

• Question: When is development of Wiili going to start now that homebrew on the Wii is possible?

• Question: How can I get WiiLi link since the ftp server is down?

• Question: how much storage space will linux take up on my wii?

• Question: What Flash will WiiLi be running?

• Question: I have successfully connected the wiimote to my pc ( windows ), but the none of the programs I have downloaded (glovepie,wiinremote....) accept any input from the remote. The four lights continuously flash until I turn it off or disconnect it. If possible, please send an answer to ItsNickbarry@aol.com. Thanks

• I hear the NDS encryption key has been compramised, and signed code can be generated by third party devices. How did that come about, and will we be able to do something similar for the Wii? Is there a problem with legality if wii linux is released with a signature? (Albeit one that can be evaded by a third party creating a 'boot loader' signed disc)

• What method does the Wii use to verify a game disc is signed by Nintendo? (Does anyone have a link to encryption specifications?)

• What method does the Wii use to verify a 'Wii channel' is signed by Nintendo? (Does anyone have a link to encryption specifications?)

• How do current modchips work? (Does anyone have a link to the DVD drive serial interface information?)

• What method does the Wii use to prevent gamecube code from accessing Wii specific hardware? Are there any theories on how to 'break out'?

• Question: Will Wiili require an SD Card upgrade? ANSWERED. SEE the FAQ --Triforce 16:54, 26 January 2007 (EST)

• Question: Once WiiLi is ported to the wii(if a way is found to use it from an SD card) will it still play Wii games?
  • Theoreticaly, it shouldn't be hard to implement an apploader that allows you to boot normal games with a click on the screen. After all, the Wii got all the needed encryption keys. But It might not be possible to hijack/overload the home button menu to return to WiiLi.--Henke37 17:26, 7 March 2007 (EST)

• Question: How much money is required for Wiili to be up and running? Are there any fund raising techniques in which the Wiili staff is participating? I'm asking becuase i'm curious as to whether or not i should donate, or if i'd be wasting my time and money on this project. The fact that there is nothing done on the To-Do List is very discouraging. I visit this site about four times a day hoping to see some sort of start and i'm willing to do anything in my power to try to help. Although I'm a "n00b," i am still rooting for the Wiili Project. GO WIILI GO!!!
  • It is not money that is the issue, it is the lack of qualified hackers getting unsigned code code to run on it--Henke37 17:26, 7 March 2007 (EST)

• Question: once WiiLi is up and running, if the user decides they do not like it, will they be able to revert their system back to the orriginal Nintendo drivers? -Insaniac99 23:02, 5 February 2007 (EST)
  • Answer: dude, it's a live CD, meaning that it doesn't take the Nintendo drivers and OS off of your system... plus, i'm not sure if wiili is going to be running any time soon :'-(... i wish i had some sort of reassurance that it will be...
    • Wiili will likely come with an uninstaller if it uses any form of presistant install.--Henke37 17:26, 7 March 2007 (EST)

• Question: Approximately when will it be possible to easily order a Wii at any time off Amazon or just walk into a store without camping outside and grabbing a Wii off the shelves? (In the United States)
