Freespace 2 has been ported to the Wii!  I haven't tried it yet but I'll be sure to check it out.

Now I can dream about the days when I'll be able to play Fate of the Galaxy in my living room on the Wii.  Ahh, yes.

Meh...these boards have been too quiet lately so I found a way to tie it in.

I got it up and running. You don't have to do any hardware modifications to run homebrew on the Wii so it's super easy.

It actually runs pretty smoothly. You have to be careful not to tilt the Wiimote too far or it'll hang, but with practice it works.

Holy crap!  Haha, if GL sees his kid playing FotG on a Wii and realizes he's not making any money off of it, well, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTyrhC9jFog

I see it's litghost who converted it too. So maybe an SCP version is on the cards once he's fixed the bugs with retail.

It is SCP, just a couple months out of date.  I don't use any SCP features or media VPs because of memory limit concerns.

We're spoiled nowadays with the loading times. When FS2 first came out it must have taken me like 3 minutes just to get to the mission briefing. XD

What, the google code link? So far I haven't suffered from using it.

Or that's what any malware would want me to think, anyway...

You cannot complete the tutorials with the number of keys available.  I am advising everyone to skip the tutorials.

Hmm. If this takes off, we can write a few new tutorial missions tailored to the Wii control scheme. :)

Does it have USB keyboard support? That would be swell, you could use the advanced controls and, er, input your pilot name. :p

Unfortunately the code that allows USB 2.0 speeds (which are required for playing off a USB HD without stuttering) also removes support for USB keyboards.  Sorry.
