Wow... that's one I wasn't expecting.  

I wonder how well it plays.  I already installed Homebrew Channel on my Wii a while back, so I should just be able to throw it on my SD card.  

An Amiga on a TV again...  Novel concept.  ;-)

Thanks for the link!

If you follow the link, you'll see it's based on the Dreamcast port.  There's a compatibility chart on the Dreamcast site.  Since the Wii is about 3x faster than a DC, it should play games smoother where there were some framerate issues on the DC.

I've been too busy with World of Warcraft to install the HBC on my Wii...

Wow...  Very unexpected.  Works SURPRISINGLY well.  
Sound is muddy.  But framerates are solid.  No screen tearing and only very minimal slowdowns that I saw.  (I beat it up with a couple old ECS demos!)  Pretty impressive.  Especially considering it's such an early version.

Also, it didn't like my legitimate A500 kickstart.  It just gave a black screen on startup.  A kick.rom from a site I can't link to here solved that problem, though.  :-)
