Even if you could hack in an SD connector, you'd still be forced to run it in composite. I dunno what the hell Nintendo was thinking with this design. So bad you'd think Xbox One designers came up with it.
Hacking Anyone care to send me a Wii Mini?

You'd think with the console being out this long someone would have looked into hacking it or atleast taken a decent pic of the nand.
I am expecting one of these wii mini's from someone in the near future. Thank you everyone. Lets hope to get some shit to happen with these things and get homebrew running.

Yeah i recently got one a XBox slim... no hdmi cable
I have a classic wii now... what to do with the wii not so mini?
Wut? I was talking about the fact the new xbox360 styled after the xboxone only has a hdmi port, no composite/component video output.I wasnt talking about it not coming with an hdmi cable.
Great news!!! A wonderful person from Canada sent me a wii mini. I'm not sure if he wants to be publicly named, so I will let him say so if he wants.
The good news is, there are test points on this board which normally would be the test points for the SD card on a normal wii. Most companies, for the sake of simplicity, will keep the same test point numbers going to the same components through the different revisions of a product line. So chances are, I should be able to just solder up to these test points and connect them to an SD card or adapter and have it work. The only shitty thing is that I don't have a retail copy of SSBB. Looks like I'll have to run to shitty gamestop sometime in the near future.
I might just have to figure out how to rig my wode up to this thing to play SSBB since I really dont want to give any money to gamestop.

Ok. So my testing so far is that when I insert the SD card, absolutely no activity happens to it. That is probably bc they took out all of the code from the SM that has to do with the SD card. So I can't tell for sure if what I did was correct or not. I just need a game like SSBB or Excite Truck that does access the SD card. Of course SSBB would be the obvious choice.
Does that mean my original launch system Wii is worth some money? The DVD drive still works too...
Nope. Bootmii @ boot2 might be worth something to someone, and of course the gamecube support is nice, but it's still not worth more than $100. I've got a launch console with a working DVD drive too. And I wouldn't part with it even it's worth a few hundred.
Same here, I love my launch Wii... I stood 8 hours in the rain for that thing. <3
Yeah. I will need to put on a normal SM on to it. But for me to do that I will likely also have to solder on the connector for the wifi card and then add the wifi card on it. But for me to even install the SM, I will need to get HB running, so I need a copy of SSBB first.

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
-
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
