Urm, I'm sure this is still November Unless the website owner is called The Doctor.

Or Capt. Jack Harkland.

Hmm.. i have a question. This may sound noob, but why would modchips be required if:
A) You're using the same media that it's supposed to work with
B) You're using the same file system it's supposed to work with
C) You're using a copy of a game that get's past Wii's protection.
  --- Or does this mean that your Wii is unprotected? xD (double meaning)

And question 2

How did you get a Wii rom to work on GC? I know that there are modchips, but isn't the whole interface different? Or is it like both interfaces are on there, just one is disabled the other enabled, and a simple code change can fix?

A)I will use DVDs here but the technique equally applies to most other media, on DVDs there is a bit of lead in that a normal burner can not burn (by design usually). This contains such wonders as the CSS encryption keys and other nice things. Some more determined people can modify drives to burn these sections (there were some doing the rounds pre-DeCSS) but this is fairly rare. Occasionally certain dyes and other unusual authentication mechanisms are used.

B)See A), there could be some sort of protection based on corrupt sectors I guess (several "DVD" discs use similar "protection" of late and the Amiga used it too), .

C)I do not quite follow but disc swap techniques are usually the first way (PS1, console region adaptors, the passme(2) for the DS and loads more), also A)'s answer chimes in again.

2)Wii rom to work on GC? I assume this is a typo and was supposed to be GC isos on a Wii. I do not know if anyone has suceeded in running GC isos on a Wii and depending on features/hardware emulated (versus GC hardware actually in the Wii) it may be more difficult too pull it off.

Oh and good to see people starting early on Wii hacking.

I think he was refering to that person that said this ISO was working on his GCN earlier in this topic. He was probably lying, though...

Wow, I'm astonished how much dust those "fake" releases stirred up. You can't be believing really that those are anything near "real". What goes though for the mod-chip I guess we really can see one quickly after the launch.

Wow... if anyone gets their cube mod chip working on the wii, or finds a REAL wii mod chip, I would like to know.
I may buy one to play the crap games like happy feet that I normally wouldn't.

Come on please stop hyping n00bs into believing this is playable yet. For all those who did not grasp this yet:

Those are currently UNUSABLE files as there is NO way to play this at the time beeing

So please stop this "where can I get it" or "gnc" crapiness there.

The nice dudes at GameStop gave me my copies of Red Steel and Trauma Center yesterday (we'd preordered, paid in full) ... I sure would like to rip Trauma Center for everyone, but I'm finding neither hide nor hair of this mysterious WiiClone thing. Time to go scouring IRC, I suppose.

Not my place to say this but the fact that people are stupid enough to ask for Wii ISOs when they can't even do a thing with them kinda is just sad.
