BACKENDS: WII: DRAGONS: Immediate crash at start-up

Description
Blazing Dragons (EN/GB release) immediately crashes at start-up on Wii.
I don't think the problem is big-endian related, because the game works on OSX PPC or PS3.
So I think it's either an issue with the Wii backend, or a limitation between this engine and this backend?
Unfortunately, debugging things on Wii is a bit hard at the moment, so all I have is the stacktrace that's printed by the backend (attached).
Tested with current Git HEAD.

I'm guessing this might have something to do with the Wii backend not supporting the RGB555 pixel format that the game requires. Ideally it should support whichever 16-bit format the backend provides natively for speed, but the engine appears to make quite a few hardcoded assumptions.
Do 16-bit Humongous Entertainment games work on the Wii? Those require the same pixel format IIRC.
