OSDC 2011: Wii Homebrew: Running and writing software for the Wii
I spoke at the OSDC 2011 in Canberra, Australia. The talk was about writing and using homebrew software on the Wii. I got some great feedback after the talk, and was happy to see so many people interested in the idea. I was also pleased to see how many people already have a modded Wii. Hopefully I was able to give a few people some tips.

Presentation Software #
Part of my preparation for the talk was to hack together some presentation software to run on the Wii.
This allowed me to give the actual presentation on the Wii.
I called it Priijector (because every piece of software for the Wii has to have a double ii somewhere, and everything homebrew related has to include a pun).
It will read a pres.txt file in a custom (and hacky) markup to define slides and transitions.
You can get the code from GitHub (GPLv3 license).
