    Hardware What kind of DVD's are the best for backup games

    General rule up thumb with DVD's is to burn them at the same speed (or slower) than you will be reading them. Since the Wii reads at either 3x or 6x, burning at 4x is a good compromise. Also, many newer drive/media are optimized for high speed burning, and it's best to stick to 4x or better. I...

    Misc Workaround for WPA/WEP problems and your DS.

    Without WEP/WPA turned on all your data is unencrypted and viewable unless it is a web page using https: Anyone within range can load a network capture program and listen in on your traffic. Also, the MAC address can be over-ridden, so if I was your neighbor, and wanted to use your connection...

    Hacking Wii with an unusual brick problem

    Spoke too soon. Looks like there is a hardware flash problem after all. After downgrading to 3.2 and installing homebrew everything was working. I even copied back all the game save files and upgraded to 4.0 Since I had to delete the downloaded games, tried to redownload them again, but the...

    Hacking Wii with an unusual brick problem

    Thanks for pointing me to this Wad manager, after digging alot deeper, I was able to unbrick this Wii I installed ISO249 (cios rev 9) and was able to use it to install the menu for 3.2 and ISO30. However, this still didn't fix the problem. The solution was tracking down a WAD installation...

    Hacking Twilight Hack workaround for 4.0

    Actually someone could upload and make the file from the 3.x wii available, then you wouldn't need the 1st Wii. I can't do it at this time, because the Wii I got the file off of isn't mine, and I'm not sure if there is anything in the file that could tie it back to the source Wii

    Hacking Twilight Hack workaround for 4.0

    While trying to rescue a bricked (boot hang) Wii (3.4) that never had the homebrew channel installed, I figured out a way to install the twilight hack WITHOUT using the Wii menu. Since this method doesn't use the Wii menu, it should also work under 4.0. However, I don't currently have a Wii...

    Hacking Wii with an unusual brick problem

    Not a conflict with the IOS I'm using since even the even the system menu can't be replaced. I even used the IOS16 wad manager, same results.

    Hacking Wii with an unusual brick problem

    Wad Manager runs fine since I can replace all the other files except for the few defective ones. I can't use the downgrader disk, since I don't have access to the menu to reconfigure the network (don't know what the settings are) so I manually downgraded it to 3.2 by extracting the IOS's from a...

    Hacking Wii with an unusual brick problem

    I have a Wii with an unusual brick problem. Unit had been upgraded to 3.4 through nintendo long before this problem started. Homebrew was never installed. The Wii will start, video works, and I get the startup screen, but I never get the "Press A" message. Pressing "A" on the controller does...
