<p>L 28: Update the page to clearly say that ArchLinuxPower doesn&#039;t support Risc-V anymore.</p> <hr /> <div>ArchPOWER is a Linux distro developed by [https://github.com/kth5 kth5] for the purpose of porting Arch Linux to run on 32-bit Big-Endian PowerPC (what the [[Wii]], [[Wii U]], and [[GameCube]] use), 64-bit Big-Endian PowerPC and 64-bit Little-Endian PowerPC and supported 64-bit RISC-V until it dropped support for it. The project has a [https://archlinuxpower.org website] and a [https://github.com/kth5/archpower GitHub].<br /> <br /> The developer, kth5 is an active member of the [https://discord.gg/K6ea48VUXU| Wii-Linux Discord], and is quite interested in getting the full lineup of PowerPC-based Nintendo consoles supported. He's managed to get Wii U support working and hapily distributes the necessary packages for the linux-wiiu project. He's shown an interest in getting the Wii supported as well, however, due to the severe age of the Wii-Linux kernel, this has proven tricky, and efforts to get official packaging status have largely stagnated for the time being.<br /> <br /> Despite this, Techflash maintains a custom ArchPOWER package repository, and maintains packages on it himself, and an unofficial rootfs is produced with these - the primary Wii-Linux distro as of current writing.<br /> <br /> == Screenshot ==<br /> [[File:ArchPOWER-Wii-Linux-Screenshot.png]]<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Software]]<br /> [[Category:Wii-Linux Distros]]</div>
