Is released.

 http://hbc.hackmii.com/

video of it running there too.

You'll need the Twilight Princess hack one time only, the channel installs itself and auto-updates and stuff.

ScummVM, N64, region-free Gamecube, all shown.

Let the good times roll!

so what do you need to develop stuff for it? And do you have to worry about being sued by the big N if you do?

So, Noitu Love 2 Wii anyone? Kiss Yeah, I know it's much easier said than done, but a man can dream!

So how hard is it to develop stuff in that machine?

There's a problem with the Homebrew Channel that means loading ROMs from SD in SNES9xGx doesn't work Sad It only works in the wiimote version, which doesn't actually have an X button and doesn't allow remapping yet. I need the X button to bring up the map in Earthbound!

So you can't use the Nunchuck or the Classic Controller either?

Nope - the wiimote support was just modded in by a guy who wanted it for a specific game, so it's very limited. I think he's working on allowing the user to change the key bindings and use other controllers, though.

I'm not entirely sure. You need to know C/C++ at least.

One question about it that I couldn't find in the F.A.Q. or anywhere, is it detectable by Nintendo? will they prevent me from playing games online if I have it installed?

Nintendo can see it if you use the nintendo channel, but they can't do anything.

Hmm, good point... Nintendo could most likely detect it if you do an update, and potentially even make your Wii stop working after the update...

Most likely not though. But if they release an update, just keep a lookout @ wiibrew.org for any warnings.

Does it void your warranty? I don't think it voids your warranty.

WiiBrew Wiki says that it voids your warranty.

But if you uninstall it, can they tell that it was once on your machine?  If not, why not just delete the channel/twilight hack/homebrew when you need to send it in?
