Seemingly driven by a dose of playful spite and curiosity, one developer has managed to successfully port macOS to a Nintendo Wii, partly because one person said it was impossible.
To take you back to the start of this story. Five years ago, when asked if one could get macOS on a Wii or Gamecube without virtualisation, one Redditor said, "There is a zero percent chance of this ever happening. If you truly understand the hardware-specific nature of OS X [now macOS] and the fact that the Wii does NOT actually use the same CPU, let alone GPU, you'll realise this."
That same user continued to double down, saying, "Go ahead and downvote me. I am correct on every single thing I said, especially about the CPU. That's a custom CPU and GPU in the Wii, and there are no published documents about them."
