Hi folks, I just buy an Wii with the damned D3-2 Drive. I looked around and see that there's no way do play backups on it. I don't know about hardmod so much, so I'd like some help to choose what chip should I buy. I think Wiikey or Wiifusion won't work that's correct?

It's impossible to play backups with a D3x drive, no hardmod, no softmod. Buy a USB HDD and use a USB loader or buy a D2x replacement drive!

you could always replace the drive, which I'm pretty sure would be classified as a hardmod

No, a replacement drive is enough. But WHY you MUST play from disc? A HDD is better, faster and you don't need to buy something else.

I agree with Fix94 - for wii games there is no need to play any games with discs. Everything is playable either through conventional loaders (i.e. wiiflow), or through SNEEK.

However, one thing that you will lose is the ability to play GC backups, since they are only playable from discs.

If this is important to you then buy an older drive and follow a guide to install it.

a wode would play gc backups too.
But without audio streaming, and a WODE is much more expensive then a replacement drive, and a replacement drive can use audio streaming.
edit: OK smash_brew, that's definitely advertising what you are doing!

it was said that buying an older disc drive was the only way to play gc backups. i was just pointing out the there is an alternative. I wouldn't get a wode myself, but it may be a good option for the op who had expressed interest in a mod chip.

    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
