 | My Wode vs Softmod experience
My biggest dissappointment since Undiluted Platinum
| Just write it in this blog:
When i got my WODE and later another Wii (yeah stupid D2-3 drive, so no dvd backups) i was happy and eager to install it.
A few days later at work i installed the WODE and it was a peace of cake, but a bit later when connecting the last flatcable in the Wode stand, the little thing to keep the flat cable well connected in it's place broke off :/ (damned cheap stuff), anyway i got irritated by little things not being what i expected.
1. The Wii stands not firmly in the Wode stand (comes from the velcro stuff) so when spinning a disc (original game) the Wii goes a little from left to right
2. When you push a little to the Wii or bumb the table where the wii is on, you must be carefull or the Wii falls down out of the wode stand.
3. The little button to controll the menu on the LCD, suxs, cheap half working stuff (biggest problem is going right and down not always working)
4. No way to lay down your Wii, must stan dup to use Wode.
5. USB connector on the side is a bad place, on the back or in front would be better
6. No support for clean New Mario Bros Wii game (needs to place bca file on your hdd)
7. When choosing HDD, you get an annoying internal config iso listed to (it's annoying)
8. The LCD is to bright, no way to dimm it
9. You have to go to the Wii to choose your iso, or eject the iso
10. The way to load the menu on tv screen is, so old and ugly
Anyway these or just a few things i got annoyed to, for an overhyped/overpriced drivechip (there where more things)
Any good thing?, not really (if you don't count the GC iso loading from usb hdd), Why?
All the things you can do With WODE you can do with a softmod and even more with a softmod
You still need to softmod your Wii if you wanna run Homebrew/WiiWare/Wii VC, So you can aswell place usbloader gx/configurable usb loader/wii flow/neogamma/or whatever loader on your Wii
Advantages softmod over Wode:
- Better and nicer GUI
- No worries about New Super Maorio Bros Wii and bca files
- Covers, Covers and Covers (did i mention better looking GUI)
- More options to configure
- Nice control of all from your lazy chair with your wiimote
- Very often updated and improved
- Your wii can stand/lay down/hang, whatever you do with it
- Anyway, you guys prolly know alot more reasons 
So why did i bought a Wode?
Just to check it out , my launch Wii is modded with Yaosm and softmodded
This Wii (for my kids prolly, or keep it as spare incase my other wii breaks down) (Feb 2010) doesn't run backup dvd's and has now Wode and softmod, i removed the stand (thus making the Wode inactive) cause i see no use for it.
Am i screwed, yeah, it feels a bit like that (and i buy lotsa junk) more like, this is the biggest dissappointment i had since the bad support for the Undiluted Platinum in my PSP 1000!
Conclusion (most of you prolly already knew it) Stay away from Wode, Softmod is free and offers so much more and what it offers is so much better.
(If you wode guys read it (yeah you can kick my ass) it's just my opinion in a blog, not on the frontpage or in a review, i was going to make a review, but i dissed that, it's not even worth a review)

| | Go myself a HTC Hero, any tips are welcome!
| After a long look out for a new phone, i decided to go with the HTC Hero [Android OS] (Simlock free),
replacing my old SE K750i (Flashed to W800i), the SE often didn't work anymore or lost power sudennly without any warning or with a full loaded batt.
As in Belgium the HTC Hero isn't available (yet) due to some legal issues with YouTube
(The Belgium version will not have any option for youtube available)
i decided to buy my phone in The Netherlands (even with shipping around 50 euro's cheaper) online.
(only a few would send to Belgium, most refused)
A few days back i got my new mobile phone:
So messing around with it, i'm amazed at wath it can, so if any other android user is around with any good tips for android apps i can test out on it, leave a reply here 
Already tested out "Gensoid, Gameboid, Droidgear, Nesoid and Snesoid, getting ready to try ScummVM on it now
But usefull apps and fine games would be nice to
(I decided to take white, cause somebody told me it had a teflon coat and the other brown one not)

| | Customs, i do hate those
| Last week i got a lettre from DSV (Customs Belgium) about a package from Hong kong (DX), containing "Digital Multimedia Player" according to the letter (in French, i can't read french to well), so i pick up my phone and ask the person on the letter as contact.
First complain, Why do i recieve my letter in French when i clearly live in the Dutch part of belgium (Flanders), guy on the phone appologise for that and asks if i want a dutch one, so i say, no, but do explain what's in the letter.
- The reason why, The don't belive the price given on the package.
So i have to prove what the price is with a document, so i fax them my order from DX + paypal print-out of the payment (+/- €60)
I ask the guy, what i need to pay extra, he can't tell for sure, but it will be administration cost, 21% tax and a ticket.
Anyway, a week later (today) i call back, wondering what the status is:
From the guy on the other end of the line:
I recieved your papers, gave them to the right service, If you are lucky you will recieve your package within 4 weeks, if the guys who have to clear your package are willing to take up there pencil and sign the papers, that is, if you are unlucky and those guys are to lazy to lift up there butt, it can take 6 to 7 weeks or longer.
(me ranting about it)... Asking what i need to pay...
From the guy on the other end of the line:
Can't tell now, if there in a good mood, you only have to pay €25 administration cost + 21% tax (around €12), If the have a bad day, it can be €25 + 21%tax + a ticket for importing something and giving up a false price (after some argument, telling i didn't put the value on it, he telling me doesn't matter you are the reciever, you are importing something)
(me ranting more)... asking what the price can be of the ticket
From the guy on the other end of the line:
Ow that can be up to 50% of the value you actually paid.
And, you see, i send the paper after recieving, after that it has to go to buereau x, then bureau y and bureua z needs to sign, then it goes back to y and from y to x and back to me, then i can clear your package, then it will be delivered by post to you. (Getting a driving license is easier)
Conclusion
Belgiam Customs Suxs ass, the are lazy and i wonder what the do whole day except from taking parcels and sending papers.
30% of parcels disappear in customs (known fact around here) IF cutoms take out your parcel you're screwed, and when i say screwed, i mean screwed in every way you can think of.
On a €60 A320 dingoo i'll need to pay (if i'm unlucky) €67 import taxes
If i'm lucky i only need to pay €37 (if my calculations are right)
Everything else will be a total between €37 and €67
Am i mad, who wouldn't be.
I have no problem with the €37 euro, but i will have a problem with anything else between €40 and €67
(Sorry for the bad english, i just got off the hook with "DSV Air and Sea SA - Customs Department") |
