Understanding the Homebrew Channel
The Homebrew channel offers many free Wii games that a user can download Some of the open source offerings rival commercial games.Guitar Fun lets users create their own Rockband and Guitar Hero style tracks. Installing the Homebrew channel requires that the user make changes to the Wii’s firmware. These changes invalidate Nintendo's warranty. The lack of a warranty will not be a problem for older Wii owners. Nintendo has made several efforts to stop the system from working on your computer. Systems upgrading to the 4.2 Wii firmware version may find that the console becomes useless if they have the owner has the Homebrew channel installed.

The Homebrew channel does not break any United States laws, but Nintendo likes the channel slightly less than Microsoft likes Linux and OpenOffice. The video game company has at least released one update that caused systems they suspected of having the Homebrew channel installed to become useless. Keep an eye on the updates for potential problems. Nintendo is unlikely to make a similar release soon, as the fix made some systems that a user had not modified useless also.
