Wii U hacked and CPU clock speed revealed, apparently.

There are a lot of interesting questions I'd have about Wii U homebrew ...

1.) Can it run N64/GCN/Wii games at a higher resolution natively, like the Dolphin PC emulator can?

2.) Can it allow for legacy console emulation to be played on the controller screen?

3.) What about DS emulation on the controller screen. And if yes, can the DS software resolution also be raised?

4.) Can the disc drive be hacked to run Blu-Ray movie discs?

1) Unknown at this time.  N64 probably, as that will run in a Wii64 style emulator (only, you know, one that actually works).  If it can be done for Wii games then it almost certainly can be done for GC games.

2) Unknown, but hopefully.  If the protocol for sending video to the controller screen can be reverse engineered, this seems likely

3) If 2 is possible, then 3 should be possible.  Though the CPU speeds may become a bottleneck for DS emulation, since emulators are typically CPU intensive

4) Probably not.  It can probably be hacked to read Blu Ray discs, and probably be able to read the files and folders on a BR movie disc, but movie decryption and playback is a whole other animal.  It isn't like DVD decryption where the entire protection scheme has been cracked.  BR keys can be dynamically updated for newer releases.  It should be possible to make it play SOME blue rays, but a guaranteed dedicated future proof blue ray player won't be possible.
