hi all

So as the title says " what do i need to get homebrew running " ?

I want to be able to play all homebrew/emulators/games and so on

I also would like to be able to play GC and Wii backups but not so important as emulators.

Can i get away with playing homebrew without the need to purchase anything?

Any info on what i need and where to purchase in needed thank you.

PS: sorry to start this new thread knowing all info is some where or other but i want to start from the beginning :-)

cheers, paul

 

Lol i knew someone would say it! , tbh i just ordered the wii and am too lazy to look around but seen as you put it in such a sarcastic wai i shall go look cause i don't want to upset anyones feelings by daring to ask whats probably the most commen question regarding the wii.

And anyway people love answering questions they know, makes them feel good just as what you said probably makes you feel good iritegood!

The link you posted, is for a Deal extreme SD gecko copy, which says WiiKey, but I'm not so sure about that. It's not a memory card but is a homebrew tool, for dumping games, running .dols, etc.

I'm not sure if it's compatible with current homebrew, so just Google search it / and search SD Gecko to find out what you can do with it.

There is some more info on the site, just scroll down the page and read a bit.

I personally wouldn't recommend it, since you have the homebrew channel for stuff like that, ut if you want something like it, then get a USB Gecko, which IMO is 10x better.

 

Ok thank you guys for the info, i was afraid i would need to get a game for the hack but zelda is a good game so i could just purchase it anyway....on the psp they patched later version of games with the same sort of hacks so would this be the case with zelda do you think?

anyway cheers guys.

All versions of Zelda TP work, (There is only one per region).

Go to http://softmii.org/, download the newest package (Link), in which inside, there are instructions on how to install.

Like zidane said, just go out and buy zelda, and all you need after that is an internet connection to download the softmii package.

It is a user friendly all in one guide, with pretty much everything in it (Wii backup loader, Gamecube backup loader, downgrader if you've a Wii with the System menu verison 3.3, or 3.4, homebrew channel, etc.)

Have fun with your Wii, don't tire your self out too much with it!

 

I just rented it. It was easy and cheap.

 

Just received my wii with wii sports (sore arm already lol!) and am going to rent zelda from that film4 website but before that comes what can i do with my wii?

I only have 1 control pad (one on the way) ,1 and 2 gig sd cards

The firmware is 3.4e (i think)

Yeah so was hoping to run some sort of anything till the game arrives if there is anything please let me know.

cheers , paul
