Are you asking if it can run or whether it could be made to run?

The answer to the first question is no. I don't know about the second, but I sincerely doubt the MorphOS core developers would be terribly interested. If they were about to support PPC platforms other than the mac / pegasos / efika, I'd personally prefer that it was classic Amiga machines rather than something like the Wii.

I think it's more likely that they wouldn't notice, since the Amiga/MorphOS community is so small.

It could be done, but it has been discussed and dismissed.

The biggest problem would be the limited memory. The Efika only has 128MB and that can be problematic. 40MB less would really limit some software.

Totally agree. Unless there was a patch or extension that allowed SD cards to be used as RAM or virtual RAM somehow...

Yes, and MorphOS is bloated as heck. Linux runs just fine on the Wii though, so why bother with MorphOS?

Hi,

Morph OS can barely run itself, and only with the right junk. Do you really expect it to run on a WII?

You make um big joke.

I have no idea what your talking about, so here is a doggy with a small pancake on his head.

MorphOS is a MAC done a little better

That's amuzing. Linux is less bloated then MorphOS and Linux runs fine on a Wii? Running Linux on an 88MB machine would be painful. MorphOS would work, its the apps that would be the problem. You have to have some memory for those.

Suddenly smerfs become little blue trolls. Wiis are game machines. They are not that well suited to running a real OS. Even the PS3 (which is light years more capable then the Wii) has limitations when used as a personal computer.
To paraphrase, you're not thinking of "the right junk".
