    Hardware 'Wiikey' The Countdown has begun....

    I bought and installed a Wiikey about a year or two ago. After installation, my Wii drive was loud when reading both retail and backup discs. Additionally, disc read errors made backups notoriously unreliable to the point of being unplayable. I have consistently had problems with my chip...

    All Wii backup loader/Waninkoko discussion goes here.

    I stopped lurking GBAtemp for just a little bit, and all hell breaks loose..? Just get a Wiikey, it's worth it. Ahem. *Grabs soapbox and flame proof asbestos suit* You are all taking this way too quickly. For now, let's just set aside everything else except for the matter at hand. Let's...

    Decision 2008

    If this is any reflection of what is actually going to happen (by that, I mean Obama winning by a landslide) then we're all screwed. [/politics on a game forum]

    Hardware Which modchip shall I buy?

    That's mainly me. I wish mine worked The only other game I got a DRE in was RE4. And that was after like an hour and a half.

    Hacking authenticity of my V3C Clip? *pics inside*

    I have an authentic clip for my Wiikey and I can tell you that that appears to be legit. The 1's on my clip were hard to determine if they were real or not too.

    Hardware Wii needs repair, out of warranty how much does it cost?

    Haha, I liked the way you phrased that. I'd just like to add that if the drive in fact does not work, Nintendo is pretty nice about extending warranties and stuff. My gamecube started having trouble way after the warranty expired and they replaced it for free anyway. If that doesn't work...

    Homebrew Homebrew Channel

    Also, the real only "dangerous" thing that you could do with HBC is installing a bad wad and banner bricking your Wii. You can easily prevent this if you just read about the wad you're installing and making sure that it won't cause a brick. Oh, and I suppose the only other thing you have to...

    Homebrew Playing CD's on the wii?

    I agree with you on the price part. It doesn't run in a different "mode" of the laser. DVD lasers have a length of around 640nm (to read smaller "pieces" and thus more "pieces" per disc) and CD lasers have a length of 780nm or so. The Wii laser simply stays at 640nm. My numbers might be off...

    Hacking Backing-up Wii games

    Hopefully never, because then Nintendo will really have to start cracking down on any sort of Homebrew because it would cause piracy to be far too easy. If you want to pirate games, I think you should at least pay up for a modchip. Easily pirated games will absolutely slaughter support of a...

    Hacking Modchip

    What kind of drive does your console have? If you don't know, you can either open your Wii or plug your serial number into the website that lists which serial number leads to which drive. If you have a D2B or earlier, go with a Wiikey + Wiiclip (soldered on if necessary). Good places to order...

    Hacking Bricked Wii

    You might not have to send it back. If you still have the twilight hack files on your Wii, you can make an autoboot copy of Zelda and use the twilight hack to run the wad manager to delete the bad wad.

    Hardware Constant clicking in my Wii...

    I have a pretty old console and it would heat up pretty good if I left Wiiconnect24 on. I turned it off to install my chip and haven't turned it back on since.

    Hardware Which modchip shall I buy?

    I don't really know what I could be doing wrong. I tried different kinds of media over two different kinds of burners. Both burners/medias work fine for literally all other games. I don't see what I could possibly be doing wrong, unless I'm just getting a bizarre series of bad burns, which I...

    Gaming TF2 heavy update fully detailed

    Or you know, you could spend the entire $20 to buy the game.. I mean, one of the main pro-piracy arguments is that developers are charging too much for games with too little content, which for the most part, I agree with. However, Valve is actually listening. $20 for a game that's updated...

    Homebrew WiiTube

    I'd try it, but tehskeen is down. And of course it's useful! I can't tell you how many times me and my friends are showing each other youtube videos while crowded around a (comparatively) tiny computer monitor! I would definitely think it can be done. It was done on the original Xbox (it was...

    Homebrew Playing CD's on the wii?

    Just to add, it's not possible and (unless someone does some sweet hardware mods) will never be possible. The laser of the Wii's disc drive is physically incapable of reading CDs.

    Hardware Is this a fake WiiClip?

    Unfortunately, it looks like it's fake. The grey plastic material is much too dark, the 1's on the long number on the top are in the wrong font, and there's no number on the bottom of the clip. The 1's are an easy way to tell if your clip is fake. The 1's on fake clips have the straight nose...

    Hardware Which modchip shall I buy?

    Wii Modchips 101, from a fellow noob: The modchip itself doesn't play roms. Actually, the title "modchip" is somewhat misleading. All current Wii chips are drive chips which physically modify the DVD drive to allow the drive to read burnt DVD's, allowing you to play backups/burnt discs. Some...

    Gaming New PSP revision unveiled at Leipzig

    Enjoy your new and nearly unhackable PSPs. I say "nearly unhackable" because I'm sure it won't be impossible, it will just be really hard and/or inconvenient.
