Toward the end of April, the Wii Homebrew Channel – an essential tool for anybody who's ever modded their Wii – ceased development and had its GitHub repository archived. With accusations of stolen Nintendo code flying around, it seemed like there might be some genuine danger for the future of Wii modding, but for those outside of the community these allegations might be less relevant than they first appear.
A readme from developer marcan accompanied the archival of the Homebrew Channel, accusing libogc, a development toolkit for Wii and GameCube which the Homebrew Channel is built on, of using code from an illegally leaked Nintendo development kit.
