Line 4: − At the annual 24c3 hacker conference, bushing demonstrated an altered version of Lego Star Wars which was used to load some basic code displaying Wii Remote data in real time. + − An exploit found in the save system of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii version) led to the next step: the release of the [[Twilight Hack]], which could load executables containing custom code compiled against [[libogc]]. The Twilight Princess exploit worked by using a modified save file containing a name for Link's horse which was long enough to cause a buffer overflow pointing to a memory address which contained the loader code. + − Then followed the collaborative creation and eventual release of the [[Homebrew Channel]], which was installable via the Twilight Hack or by using a special ISO for Wii consoles with modded disc drives. +
