    Hacking Bulletin Board/Mail Photo storage location

    Are the pictures games 'mail' to your Wii mailbox stored on the permanent memory? You can't send pics to a PC (if it let you I wouldn't need to ask), tried making a copy and sending that (didn't work) Searched for homebrew that can extract/save pics to SD or local network (no-one wrote one) So...

    "no if there was there would be a post when you search for it explaining how to do it. the stickies and the search button exist for a reason" Just because it is not written, does not mean it can't be done. Besides I Googled, not much luck, so I went more specific.

    Hacking Region Changing errors

    I had starfall installed, but it didn't make any difference enabled or not. In the end i just formatted my Wii system which sorted out my news channel. Sadly formatting doesn't completely restore the system: - my version stayed at 3.2e, instead of reverting back to 3.3e - all cIOS/IOS's were...
