I read that the latest Wii's cannot read any kind of DVDs otehr than actual Wii games, I just got my Wii 3 days ago so I'm guessing this is one of those?
or is tehre any way f getting around that?

no way of getting around it, so far the only confirmed models with this is the black consoles on sale in japan, but i imagine all new drives have it fixed now

you can however still load from USB

so just do a full hack as you would on a normal Wii, attempt to load via DVD with NeoGamma for example, if it fails then you can still load via USB, which IMO is better anyway

Yeah but I'd only be abe to get an external HDD in about 1 month, so I could use a couple of DVDs for some games in the emantime...I'm glad to know that the only confirmed models are the black ones and I will be checking soon enough, I'll let you guys know if it works fr anyone tht might care

unfortunately, my wii is that one, after hacking, it can play game via USB loader, but it can not read DVD and any backup disk. It's not a black one.

My friend recently bought a new White Wii here in Canada, and after softmodding, he can't load backups from DVD, however he bought a USB HDD and it's working great with NeoGamma.

Every Wii being sold now has the "D3-2" drive, which will never be able to use any disc other than retail Wii games. (Well, for a long time at the very least.)

If you really insist on disc loading, you could buy an old Wii DVD drive.

who needs disc channel if usb loading is way much faster and convenient to use.

People who can't afford external HDs, also people who can't DL games (Some of my friends whose wiis I've hacked have Comcast) and rely on other people to give them burned discs.

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    but why choose it over ysmenu @Psionic Roshambo?

    good night
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
