Today's site is wii-u.i2p.

I2P running on a Nintendo Wii!


Overview
wii-u.i2p is just awesome. The fact that you can run modern software on a machine with 2012 specs. Super cool. Though, from the page it runs pretty badly.

Lets look at the specs of the Wii-U.

1.24 GHz Tri-Core IBM PowerPC "Espresso"
2 GB DDR3
8 or 32 gigs of flash memory.

It's also got a graphics card that I'm sure this guy is not using.

Is this useful? Not all all. But, damn is it cool.






1. Appearance
Text with some images. Less than amazing. Just like the hardware it's running on.
2/5!

2. Quality
I'd hate to think how long this machine takes to boot! Let alone the trouble it was to get this working! +5 for effort!
5/5!

3. Nitpicks
The whole things is broken. Bad uptime, lots of heat. Requires extra cooling so it doesn't fry the CPU.
3/5!

4. Refresh
This is really cool, but limited in the people who will care.
3/5!

I don't normally review sites this new. But, I wanted to be sure to capture this one before it went offline.

Cool project, Good looking out-- great review. Id get rid of the flammable stuff though, risk is to high to move 1 cubic foot of air.

notbob: Yes, seems a bit sketchy! But, awesome!
