The Wii runs [[IOP-OS]], a custom microkernel OS developed by [[BroadOn]]. This OS runs on the [[IOP]] (an ARM9 core inside the Hollywood package) while game software runs on the Broadway. The Broadway does not run an OS, but an [[RVL_SDK]] "Revolution OS" library is used to provide some basic services to applications.
