Hacking Flatmii Announced

[defrb]

Fake? hmmz not sure if you think the same after a week or 2, its a very simple process so i dont think this is fake at all.
I would rather say> good idea, cant wait to use it cause i hate the wii drive, its the weakest part of the wii and im glad some found a solution like this, great!

Now if they make wads install_able on sd cards also i will be double happy

Good day!

 

[pspmte]

So its a Drive emu really

Very good

what i was going to say is how can this work without shorting the switches or sens the opto on the drive board

can software be really that good?

 

[Sportsmaniac1322]

This looks very legit! I just hope that it doesn't retail for a huge price! I might install this for my friend.

 

[djdynamite123]

Deffinately not fake that, pretty dam amazing to be honest, gues i wont bother with it though, wouldn't wnt my PC to be clogged with Wii games hehe

 

[Raziel5000]

i am ready to see something soon! i already keep my backups on a 500gb HD and have 2 more 500gb HDs ready to be filled.

I have been staying on the Wii sidelines for a while. If this is real, inexpensive, and carried by a trueworthy dealer like DealExtreme, I will buy one for sure.

I, for one, have my laptop on 24/7 and it is right next to my Wii so I don't see any problem with it. On the contrary, I HATE having to burn disks to find out they don't work, get scratched, and having to buy more discs. I also have an empty 400GB drive and this makes things a lot easier for me

.


This is what they need to do:

1) Send GBATemp a review sample
2) Provide more info about price, resellers, etc
3) Send a boatload to Dealextreme to sell

???Profit

 

[IronMask]

I second that idea.

 

[OzModChips]

1) Send GBATemp a review sample
2) Provide more info about price, resellers, etc
3) Send a boatload to Dealextreme to sell

1. they dont need to do that - they will not be able to keep up with production for a while, they have already told us this.
2. calm down, it just started
3. bah, if you want to wait a month to get stock, keep refreshing their page

Wait... people actually think this is real?

That's sad in a hilarious type of way.

So when i post a picture of 1000 of them in a week or so, will you leave the forum?

 

[ron555]

Arm the Homeless,

There have been two credible confirmations so far. I hope it's not a fake, since I'm excited about loading ISOs from my PC

OzModChips,
Are you turning into a reseller?

I see you have it on your site as an ETA item

for a second there i thought you said DX were trustworthy.

even if this is real sales will be pretty low due to softmods. look how many people are too tight to buy a current modchip or even a copy of zelda.

I would prefer a hdd enclosure with an lcd screen that lists the games even if its more expensive the idea seems great for those that live in a bedroom or have a wii close to pc for dev reasons for the majority its more hassle than a standard chip.

this device will be the bringer of hugely compressed iso's and in all honesty does the wii really have that many games that are worth piling up on a huge hdd.

We are a reseller of any wii modification device that is popular

they said the ETA is just over a week to begin shipping to resellers - but then again this kinda stuff usually gets delayed a little when people start pumpng orders in.

Agreed. I hope the compression on Wii games progresses.

As for an LCD screen, I think that's taking it a little too far. I don't mind loading games off of my PC, especially if I don't have to hear that DVD-ROM seeking

So about 2 weeks for first shipments to be received by stores. Obviously, most won't buy it until GBATemp or someone credible has reviewed it.

 

[Wiisel]

you still hear the drive ejecting and what not check the last vid posted.

I really hope this doesn't increase iso compression i would rather have 3TB of dummy data than rape the iso's

 

[OzModChips]

You might be waiting a while for someone to properly review it...
but yes - there is good reason to wait
Its a big step in a different direction.

 

[ringorinfret]

So would that mean that using this device over Usb 2.0 we would have speed at least as good as the DVD 6x speed?

You still didn't get it?
