Fellow Wii users as I surf the net and visit forum after forum I am amazed at the amount of questions there are regarding Wii Homebrew. Could this be because it's a relative new kid on the block or is it because there has been such a big growth in Wii sales over the Christmas period? Or is it the financial meltdown that everyone is experiencing that is forcing people to find cheaper alternatives for new games.

One of the questions that are raised frequently is, Is Wii Homebrew legal and will it void the warranty of my Nintendo Wii. This stems from the fact that you most probably have heard of all the great features that this software will enable you to do with your Nintendo Wii. As most of us are law abiding citizens and would prefer not to install software on our Wii that will compromise its warranty this is indeed a question that you could have been wondering about.

The good news is that Wii Homebrew is indeed legal, simply because it is software that you are installing and not a mod chip and it will not void the warranty of your Wii. The big advantage of installing the Wii Homebrew Channel is that it will unlock your Wii enabling it to play DVD's, MP3's, older games that you have from the days of N64, SNES, Sega Genesis and many more as well as backing up your existing games. One word of caution though, do not use the backing up facility to make copies of your friends games as this is indeed illegal and is called piracy.

The most popular questions that are raised are "Where to Download Wii Homebrew Channel" and "How to install Wii Homebrew Channel"? The answers to these two questions are luckily very easy to answer. Firstly at the bottom of this article you will find links to the Wii Product Review website and Wii Product Review Blog where you will be able to download the Wii Homebrew Channel from. Secondly if you finished downloading the installer software the installation is as easy as following the clearly laid out instructions that they provide with the installation software. I can assure you that the instructions are very straight forward and anyone will be able to understand and implement it.

All and all I think this is a must have for all Nintendo Wii gamers, new or seasoned, that wants' to play DVD's, MP3 or older games on their Wii. To find out more about Wii Homebrew please feel free to visit my Wii review site by clicking on the link below.
