Hacking Mod-chips- I need to know more.

Thanks everyone, I've found Super Mario Sunshine but I don't want to slow down Boom Blox from downloading on uTorrent anymore. It's just sooo slow, the fastest it goes is 9 kb/s. It's really, really annoying.

You have unseeded torrent. You have to go to good site...

I am at a good site, and I have about 40 peers that I am connected to, and it's still slow. And it's even slow with that website that you just gave me too...

Well Livin in a box sounds like you need to upgrade ya net connection to a faster line

faster line faster download.............

 

[Livin in a box]

Well, when it updates to a new one it's really fast, then after about 2 hours it goes back slow again.

Anyway, can the chip only read copied GC and Wii games, or can it read standard DVD's, such as films?

 

[Livin in a box]

Can the WiiKey read normal DVD's or is it just ISO's?

 

[skawo96]

Wii can read only Wii and Gamecube isos.

Right, OK. Can Vista's own burning thing burn an ISO? I've only got DVD-R's and Vista has a function that allows you to treat a disc like a USB memory stick, even if it isn't re-writable. At least that's how I understand it anyway...

And also, I have downloaded the WiiKey configuration disc and the latest 1.9s update. What do I do with them? Do I just burn the 2 ISO's onto a disc, and it'll run?

I've read through this entire topic and found it very useful.

I have a quick question. So, when burning GCN games, you just burn em on to a regular DVD? Because I have no idea where to get blank mini-DVDs like the GCN uses.

One more thing... are most Wii games dual layer? Or just regular single layer DVDs?

Thank you, and I hope I didnt bother you Livin in a box. (Didn't mean to "hi-jack" your thread or anything of the sort)

@Warcueid:
You can use a regular disc, and I believe you can put more than 1 game on one disc.

The only dual layer Wii games is Brawl, all the others are single layer.

Wow, are you serious?! That's awesome! Here I was, thinking I was gonna have to spend days downloading games like 8Gbs big (yeah, my download speed sucks ass.) ... thank you for the info!

@Livin In A Box - Despite your number of peers, check how many you're conected to. It has nothing to do with your speed as much, it has to do with the limits and whatnot of the other people's uploading.

I suggest finding another site, a popular one is youtorrent, although it only links to other sites and it may not have many Wii stuff, but it has torrents in general. Another good one is btjunkie.

Again, I can't say they have Wii stuff, I generally don't check, but they scan tons of other sites, so they might be easy to go to if you torrent.

I use mininova, the Pirate Bay and others. Mininova is one of the best. I'm connected to about 60 of them, but I don't download from all of them.

I doubt it can - it's more likely to burn a data disc (maybe even UDF!) with the iso file on it.

Just get imgburn and use it. It's free and is a very powerful burning engine.

 

[Livin in a box]

Yeah, i've got ImgBurn. But what do I do with the configuration disc and the update?? I've got the 2 downloaded files, but what do I do with them?

 

[skawo96]

Which are these files? .iso?

 

[Livin in a box]

Which are these files? .iso?

Yes, they are both .ISO. Do I just burn them?

Can the WiiKey boot off CD-R's too or can it only read from DVD discs?

 

[skawo96]

I do not know about these isos...ask someone else...
CD-Rs can't be read by Wii.

If I get a DVD-R disc, write the update onto it, would I be able to format the disc at another time and write something else onto it, i.e. future updates?

 

[Livin in a box]

OK, this thread is now a Q&A thread for Mod-chips. I just can't change the title...

No, DVD-/+RW can be deleted and rewritten on.

That's what I thought, but after being given the option to format a PS2 disc, I just wandered whether I could do it.
