anyone know how to moddify the wii

Well you can take a hammer to it, or a can of spray paint. Maybe add a bit of glitter if you are into that sort of thing.

Anyway on a more serious note, I know that a while back a mod chip was release, don't know what the current status is on that. There was also at some point a hack that exploited a flaw in one of the games. This allowed system access at which point you could install homebrew.

I don't think were supposed to tell how to do that here.

If you go to http://www.xboxscene.com/ you should find what your looking for.

YOutube is your friend. Nintendo really helped out the mod community by making it easier, on purpose no less, but its still dicey and you may want to pay someone who knows how to do it right. Its pretty straight forward but you may have to surf awhile to find the hack you need. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSHp27WzsYI

I bet it took me over an hour to find the correct call letters ( what are they called? ) for me to play Dreamcast games on my PC. I bet they include them with the EMU's now but most people are not so bold. I love playing Jet Set Radio on my PC monitor. Beautiful.

You need zelda twilight princess, and an SD card plus internet access for your wii (required for the install right now), and a little patients with the directions. I modified my Wii, and its working great.
Google SoftMii, its version 2.1.1 now I believe.

I'm assuming you wanted to 'backup' your wii games ;)
Post here or PM me if you need help.

Damn. I didn't think it would be so easy but I knew it was pretty simple. I saw a speech on youtube at or around the launch of the Wii where some big shot was showing the guts of the Wii. He pointed to one key part that he said Nintendo put in for the sole purpose of making it easy to mod. The crowd laughed but he was serious. He said he could not explain why Nintendo did it but it was the only explanation he could give for the hardware design.

Pretty cool of Nintendo I guess.

Yea, Nintendo seems to be going easy on the homebrew community, just wish they had some storage space on that sucker! Hell, you can even play a 'backup' of mario kart wii online ;)

i want to getthe old retro games working ive got some .wad files and found a tutorial online on how to get them working through the hombrew channel how-ever i can not get them working i just get an error

drtoker · March 16th, 2009, 09:08 AM

You are probably not on the correct version for those files, or are using an outdated hack or are out of space. I would suggest using a tutorial from a recent hack (like softmii) to get your system up to date (homebrew wise) and on the latest hackable firmware.

Wad files should install with no trouble using the wad manager in the homebrew channel after doing this, assuming you have enough free space (the wii has virtually no free space...)

Seems Nintendo covered all their bases to try and please all forms of gamers with this console. They may have left movie buffs out in the cold but I have a feeling most gamers want to get their game on rather than watch Murder She Wrote with Grandma. Hell, I bet even grandma would rather Wii than watch another crusty episode of that old gem. Now, back to the hack already in progress.

I think Nintendo did right by leaving out DVD capability. It made the system so much cheaper, profitable, and still relatively packed with features.

Besides, everything plays DVDs now. I can watch a movie on my laptop, desktop, ps2, xbox, and actual DVD player.

drtoker · March 16th, 2009, 11:03 AM

Just give us expandability in the next console Nintendo! Let me plug in a hard drive or something besides an SD card :\

On a side note, I haven't put a dvd into my dvd player in forever. I always use my xbox/ps3 since they are already hooked up to my tv. Never played a dvd on my computer...
