Mac OS on an unmodified Wii (2022)


We’re used to the so-called “Hackintoshes”, non-Apple hardware running MacOS. One we featured recently was even built into the case of a Nintendo Wii. But [Dandu] has gone one bet…

It runs DOOM, Internet Explorer 5, and iTunes even on these limited resources, though the last package had display and sound issues. It’s fair to say that this is not exactly a way to get your hands on a cheap Mac, and remains more of an exercise in pushing a console beyond its original function. But it’s still an interesting diversion, and maybe someone will in time make a MacOS X version work on the Wii too.
