To be fair though, PimpMyWii is a great computerless way to keep your Wii updated. All that "BrickMyWii" shit can fuck off... Only idiots brick their Wiis with it. I've been using it for years and years, and no issues yet.

Years later and you still cant let it go? just sad....
This isn't a grudge I need to let go of, but an opinion. And no my opinion hasn't changed. Fact is just because a lot of time has passed doesn't mean windows Vista has gotten any better, as an example, so what's time got to do with it?

In the past I don't think I was very vocal about my opinion on pimpmywii because it may seem biased due to my competing app, but now so much time as passed I just think F it, I'll say what I want. I could sit here and list a bunch of reasons why pimpmywii has inherent issues, but I really don't care if ppl use it, I'll continue to drop my "ModMii is better" 2 cents and ppl can do what they want but at least I'm presenting them with an alternative (albeit with little thought or effort).

You say only idiots brick their wii with pimp my wii, and for a moment I'll accept your premise that all pimpmywii bricks were due to user error... that's a huge assumption btw. But assuming all the bricks are due to user error, I think it's STILL because of an app that promises a modded console with zero thought. These 1-click solutions create/attract so-called "idiots" that don't care to do any kind of background reading whatsoever. Even if pimpmywii worked perfectly I'd still be against it for this reason. If you want to use it, go ahead. But there's a reason why it's not stickied at any respectable forum like gba or the den.

Edit: and is it truly computerless? How does one get pimpmywii onto their sd card? Also, how does pimpmywii help you launch an exploit to run the hackmii installer? I'd hardly call it a from A to Z solution/approach let alone fully computerless

Hello.:)

Is it so diffcult to accept,when a user wants an other solution than the usual (Pimp MyWii - ModMii).
Is it "necessary" to raise the "language level" ? :(

When i read through this nice and respectful thread,i have no longer fun with my "pimped darkcorped modmiied" Wii.:(
My first Wii mod was with DARKCORP because of no idea.That Wii is still my favorite one.Surely its on the latest update(s) now.I did not know of Pimp MyWii until today.Otherwise I would have tried it too.:P

Thank you.:)

The North America collection will not fit on a 2TB. You need at least 3TB for the full NA collection.

In all fairness, this forum here primarily supports ModMii, hence why it is stickied. The Complete Softmod Guide used to also be stickied, but has been removed. Someone may find more support for pimpmywii on a different forum.

It's kind of liking going into a Ford Truck dealership and wanting them to sell you a brand new Toyota truck instead.

Most individuals here will say that they would recommend modmii over any other method of fully hacking their wii. Some other forum will push it's preferred method. For that alone does not make any kind of a grudge. What motivation does XFlak have to hold a grudge against any other method for? It's not like any other method took money away from him as he developed a FREE application requiring hundreds of hours working on it and has been used by 10's of thousands of people without a single brick ever.

I am sorry to say this, but I have repaired multiple wii's that were bricked via PimpMyWii. So what XFlak says about that software holds water. Sure, it may have been user error, but then that just goes to say enough that ModMii is even more user intuitive and thus has a reason for it to be why it is the wii softmodding choice of this forum.

@Bat420maN Honestly, with the way you are attacking XFlak, especially bringing in other things that are outside of this PimpMyWii/ModMii conflict, it tells me that you are the one with the personal grudge for some reason.

I think it is best for everyone involved to just cut it out, go smoke some pot, and go separate ways. No need to have a fight over something so simple.

Haha, what other things? Like him quoting a post I made on another thread? I mentioned nothing other then him constantly bashing Pimp anytime it is mentioned. I was wondering when his fanboys would show up, took longer then expected.

Haha, so sad! For one, you know nothing about me, I dont go swinging my dick around the net looking for fame(unlike you). Two, I dont cry everytime someone mentions an app other then one I developed(unlike you). Three, if you were offended by my "political" comment, good! I have been watching you and your fanboys bash PIMP for almost a decade, prob more at this point. Thats the only reason I know who you are, your not as cool, or important as you think, your only known for hating!

Now. I did try to calm the situation, but apparently you want to continue to be in attack mode. So I am going to report you and ask this thread to be closed. Have a good day.

    I haven't been gaming for such a long time. Been mostly busy with sleep, hardware tinkering and checking GBAtemp frequently.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Hope you've had a good morning.

    It's going alright thanks :) I know what you mean with gaming time. It's precious where I can get it these days.

    I think that's why I focus on just enjoying single player experiences that aren't too competitive

    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.

    @Maximumbeans, I had a friend who had a glass chess set for their birthday.
