Hi gbatemp,

I need your advice on this situation. In a couple of weeks I will be giving away my Wii to my nephew as his bday present. I posses a collection of 26 games, but i dont believe a 4 year old is capable enough of taking care of them, so I want to copy them through a USB loader. So my questions are.

  • What is the most kid friendly USB loader for the kid?
  • What is the best set up i can do so the kid can acess the channel without too much hazzle.
It is important to mention that the kid is tech savy and knows his ways around with the android devices.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I've always used USB Loader GX and loved it. However there are a ton of options to play with. So if your tech savvy nephew gets curious and starts changing things he shouldn't it could possibly mess things up. It does have parental controls though. So after you set everything up and everything is working perfectly you can lock him out of all those extra settings. I personally have never used the parental settings though so I can't really give you any advice on how to set it up.

If he is only goin to be playing games from the loader and will have no reason to go to the system menu then I would recommend setting up PriiLoader to have the Wii automatically boot into USB Loader GX on startup. Then basically all he has to do is pick a game and he's playing.

Hope that helps. If you need any other help or advice let me know.

USBLoaderGX has lot of parental control option where you can lock menus, or filter games based on official classification, or personal one.

My nephew is 5 years old and use it without issue.

Actual latest version :

I recommend installing a forwarder channel too, and changing the loader to "return to" that channel.
When exiting a game, it will reload the forwarder (to relaunch the loader automatically) instead of the system menu.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/usb...er GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download
use a Wad manager to install the channel, for example : http://www.hacksden.com/showthread.php/7241-YAWMM-DE-English-Translation/

if you need more info on parental control, I can help you. it can be a little difficult to understand how it works if it's the first time you use the loader.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
