The wii has little to no storage. I have a good deal of virtual consoles games on my wii, but I honestly can't store even a fraction of them. Each time I move the wad file to my sd card it won't launch. Nice job Nintendo, -__-. Oh well DRM is DRM, but this is just plain annoying. Anyone know how to hack this or get a way to get this to work? Just ridiculous -___-

You need to soft mod the Wii before you can run/install custom wad files. (even if they are official wad files) I don't know if they can be installed to the SD card or not. But either way, you have to softmod the wii and install the Homebrew Channel before you can do any of that. ;)

I use a wad manager to install wads on my hacked Wii.
A couple of them at the time, depending on the free memory.
They ALL work flawlessly just like the real deal.

Then, I just use the Wii system menu to transfer them to my 8GB SD card, and again using the Wii system menu to launch them from the SD card, just like you would on a legitimate purchase.
I don't understand the need for *NEEKs and such ( so much work ), when the built in OS does everything I want to do in the first place.

Not all games even require *NEEK. Most of the VC games will run from Postloader or Wiiflow with partial NAND emulation. Even when *NEEK is needed, some loaders will switch after you start the game. That way you don't have to wait to boot up your *NEEK system menu just to browse your games. Modern loaders and Modmii have made the setup process remarkably easy. It will solve your problem. Don't wait any longer :)

    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
