for being able to run Wii and Gamecube backups from the SD slot,the only bad thing is that you lose the USB ports with this

The only bad part of WODE is its kind of expensive.

And WODE has its only USB ports which support hubs....

Another thing: Its between WiiKey 2 and WODE Jukebox. Why arent the rest getting any, moreso since WiiKey 2 has to be soldered and there are a couple on the list which need no soldering at all.

there is a wiiclip so you dont have to solder

* Very easy to disable the WII chip, just need remove (pull out) the WII-CLIP from the WII motherboard, and soldering one point. This way can give back you the original WII console immediately.

The new WII-CLIP2 V14 install diagram: Zero wire need solder, plug and play! And don't need touch iron at all !

i have flatmii 125 and wode.
Flatmii
- pros
no wait to play a game. the instant you have the iso on your computer, you can play it on your wii. no moving it to different HDD, no converting formats.
supports whatever filesystems your PC does
- cons
its windows only. technically you can write a client for any OS you want. but what little official support there is is geared only towards windows.
havent seen a single firmware update or anything since i got it
kinda slow speed. it runs at constant 2.2MiB/s. never faster, and rarely slower than that.
can't play anything but .iso ( using official software ). no .wbfs/.ciso or anything else.

WODE
- pros
play games from usb using official nintendo IOS == no "what base IOS do i need for XXXX game?" crap. you can play a .wbfs file from the system menu off a NTFS partition if you want
fast. at least 2x faster than flatmii ( havent timed it enough to say a definite number ). but in some games that have loading screens you actually want to see, you miss them because its so fast
supports a bunch of filesystems & game formats
supports multiple partitions on multiple HDDs at the same time
firmware & updates are still being actively worked on
supports homebrew
great customer suport
-cons
you have to decide between the tiny-ass joystick, a GC-mode iso, or using homebrew to pick your game.
no ext4 support ( which is a possibility in homebrew )
has built-in ripping, but it REALLY SUCKS. it extremely slow, and ive never had it rip a disc correctly for me. cleanrip is much better
doesnt really fit in the wii. i had to leave out one of the metal parts to be able to close the sucker back up
if you dont like your wii standing up sideways, you have to think creatively.

No, the usb cable on the wode base is just for power so you can use an usb power adapter or a powered hub without losing usb ports on your wii.

Man, maybe you've messed up something.
I fitted 6 wode so far without any problem and 1 of those wii had a wiikey already soldered which I left there.

I have a question I was thinking as someone else told me today to mod their Wii (grr)

In theory, with one hardmod (with a drivechip), I can then softmod it using a backup/homebrew right?

 

[davebaol]

Yes of course.
Also with a modchip you can hack fw 4.3 with the backup of an exploitable game.

 

[doyama]

Modchips are VERY outdated.

Sadly, you cant buy/rent 4.3E make-your-wii-homebrew-compatible games anywhere. They dont carry them (obvious choice on their part)

Yu-Gi-Oh 5d has never been re-released with the patch. I can already find a few ebay sellers with the game just casually looking around.

At a good price, I cant find that PAL game anywhere. People asking 80+ for it.

Strangely, I feel the feeling to Facebook "Like" you now :laugh:

Im a wode guy but if I had to vouch for a chip it would be my trusty d2ckey.
WODE is great for playing the majority of GC titles from USB but I use CFG for Wii for faster loading.
When it comes to disc's d2ckey gives me higher media compat including +R at 6x it will play anything I chuck at it requires no pissing around other than burning and poping in the disc and audio streaming works combine that with the WODE I can have my cake and eat it.

WODE is great for many reasons but for me it loses points for no streaming audio.
