Moby approver/contributor Black Wolf has just reached more than 30,000 points, two days after fellow approver/contributor Oliver Jahn broke the 50,000-point limit. You can thank BW for all his work on contributing C64 game entries and screenshots, and walkthroughs for various adventure games. Well done, BW.

Wii fully hacked

It seems that in the 24th Chaos Communication Congress (the 24C3, an annual German-based hacking meeting) a hacking group has shown how they have fully hacked the Wii. There is also a video of it and here a new from nintendo-scene.com summarizing the event.

Until now games for Wii could be already played without being the original, and Wii was already hacked in the GameCube mode. The achievement of this group is that, now, it is fully accessible in Wii mode, which means that, future homebrew software is going to be able to control all of the hardware inside the Wii, as happens with other consoles like the DS.

MobyGames continues to thrive

MobyGames now documents over 20,000 unique games, and hundreds of existing entries are modified every week. Contribution levels to MobyGames for 2007 have been the highest in the site’s history, with the Top Contributors pages featuring higher points totals than previous years, almost across the board.

This is despite 2006 having new features such as description revisions, MobyRanks and Product Codes. 2007’s site improvements have primarily been non-point items such as Game-Specific forums, improved behind-the-scenes tools for splitting games, and a new front page.
