Cleaning up my place, found this, I bought in fire sale 2011 I think, charger, keyboard, thought it was a steal lol, installed some custom rom but it's still ridiculously slow, 1gb ram, some $50 chinese tablet can crush it, but still I don't like to throw out something I spent money on.

There's overclocking and new custom roms (I guess a lot of people are like me because this thing has way too much support over 9 years) but even after that, I have other tablets, I'm thinking using it as screen saver picture frame type of thing is best use

any other ideas appreciated.

I quite like them for music players, though most of the cheapo ones I have dealt with have had nice audio.

Beyond that do you need a shed/workshop one that you can read pictures/PDF on and not care so very much if you crush it.

that's a good idea actually, I don't have a workshop but I could use it to display written instructions to go along with video tutorials I usually follow in my mods, that and a picture/video frame/clock are probably best uses for me, could be good in the kitchen if I cooked anything complex but I don't.

    not really

    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.

    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
