Nice work and write-up!
A side note: you embedded .mov videos inside tags. This is not compatible with all browsers (notably Chrome and Firefox), which won't load the videos.

#22Fantastic work and a great write up.

#23In addition to the incredible engineering work here the OP casually flexes by showing the development happening _in an economy class airplane seat_.
This is the most incredible part. I cannot even use a laptop adequately in an economy class seat, I cannot position the screen so that I could see it, and the keyboard so that I could type on it, at the same time. (To say nothing of connecting a Wii.)

#24 Before figuring out how to tackle this project, I needed to know whether it would even be possible. According to a 2021 Reddit comment:
There is a zero percent chance of this ever happening.
Feeling encouraged, I started with the basics: what hardware is in the Wii, and how does it compare to the hardware used in real Macs from the era.

If it's not working on Chrome nor Firefox, it's safe to say it's incompatible with almost all browsers.

Whoops, thanks! Fixed.

#28This is extraordinary, not only pushing the limit but documenting everything so clearly to show people what can be accomplished with time and dedication. Thank you for such thorough documentation, and congrats on getting it done!

I only tested on Safari - whoops! Fixed now.

#30honestly expected this port to be headed in the opposite direction
