"Getting the Wii to run backup disks has never been quite as easy as running homebrew, but that might be about to change -- there's apparently a secret recovery mode that can be accessed with a special GameCube memory card. Not much is being revealed yet, but apparently if a \"device\" with a unique ID signature is present in the slot at boot, the Wii will drop into recovery mode and happily run whatever you throw at it, from backup disks to homebrew code. Hopefully we'll find out more soon -- video after the break.Update: It looks like the recovery mode is only good for fixing \"certain bricked consoles\" -- so much for that.[Thanks, brakken]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
