Is gog something legitimate like hulu or is it the kind of deal where they are hoping to get into a legal fight and then make a lucrative deal? I couldn't find info on the site about where the games come from.

These two games have been released for free by Revolution Software, for use with SCUMMVM... I don't know about any other distribution.

I believe crap is the word you were after. I sold mine after about a week which is how long it took me to realise that you could wave your hands at random to get through some games. A real shocker that has been marketed well, unlike out beloved amiga which was brilliant hardware with crappy marketing, maybe we should push nintendo to buy the amiga technology lol.

Rogue has said that OS4 could be ported to the Wii, legal issues aside.  Just couldn't have the 3D'd workbench.
The Wii's hardware is fully exposed to homebrew.  Too bad we don't have something Moana for Wii, call it Wiinoana...

Surely this is a problem with the SOFTWARE not the HARDWARE.

looks like you can also get BASS from tucows (http://www.tucows.com/preview/325254) or the scummvm (http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php#extras) website, too.
