Why did you hack your Wii/Flash or buy a DS flash card?

[Deleted User]

I hacked my Wii the same moment I knew it was possible. So basically I did it because I could. If I hadn't done it yet, I would do it because of HDD loading.

A DS flashcart was a no brainer when Slot-1 carts were released, as I really enjoyed my GBA flashcarts. I couldn't be bothered to use a PassMe/Slot-2 combination, though.

"95% Wii/DS games suck" should be added as an option..

I only bought flashcard/hacked the wii because I dont wanna waste my money buying Imagine girl friends...

 

[elixirdream]

so i can be a PIRATE!
thats the reason...

 

[MAD_BOY]

Just for piracy reasons really.

I bought a DS flashcart cos I don't have any money to buy the games I want. I'm already thankful that my parents even allowed me to buy a DS.

 

[qlum]

so I don't have to buy games and now I have the amount of money I need to buy a new computer

 

[jackdanielchan]

Long live pirates, scheming their ideas to save moneys for themselves and others alike!

do you expect filipinos to buy genuine despite them being poor? like most filipinos, some will still hook up on genuine ones but mostly, they want to be "in" and play the games rich people play. Im talking about the poor people and not people who buys genuine.

that's a reason i see when buying flashcard or modding their system. TO GO PIRATE and play whatever they want to be "in"

other times, they want to have independent apps to play with.

I go to the middle class and buy something i can afford or had saved at.

Other times, like me, have to test soemthing before purchasing as they're no return policy or warranties in my country. if only i was in canada or the USA then I can safely buy anything I want (as long as i have the money)

QFT (for filipinos anyway)

too poor to buy games, a flashcard and a 8gb memory card is enough for the ds and wii

Because I like piracy, probably more than I like the games, movies or music that I pirate.

Games are hard to find around here and cost a fuckton. It's a country where as far as software of any kind goes, it's essential to pirate because if you go original you can't afford even the basics.

Thats the same situation here!
Even a crappy game like Petz costs about $80.

Bought a flashcard cause I don't have the money to buy games all the time (unlike Wintrale

).

Didn't hack my Wii (yet) cause my mum won't allow me...

What the fuck? That's A LOT of money.
EDIT: Sorry for double post...

Over in Australia prices are actually okay, if you go to a play like JBHiFi fthey will hardly ever sell the game at top dollar. The problem is we get games practically last when all the other Regions get theirs first.

 

[silent sniper]

Prices here aren't that bad (but bad enough, the shovelware costs $50), but my only source of money is doing random odd jobs, and most of that I spend on bass guitar stuff (currently saving for new amp) and metal concerts.

The games are ridiculously priced.However,the systems are cheap though.I could get a DSi for the same amount of money that I would have to pay if I bought 2 Imagine games.

 

[NeSchn]

I didn't have any money for game I wanted to play.

 

[shadowkillerdrag]

Its generally the money problems.
There are a ton of games i would love to play but unfortunately its too darn costly.
me and my frigging ps3 -.- 400 + 8 games total 420$ -.- 820 dollars spent already for that console
God expensive things T-T

I suppose I 'hacked' my consoles to improve efficiency, etc. I don't pirate my games, however I don't believe it is wrong to make it more efficient as to how I play them. For instance, I have all of my DS game dumps on a single card, which reduces the amount of game cartridges I need to carry around. My Wii game collection is about halfway dumped, once finished I'll have them all on a hard disk to preserve my Wii's disc drive from going bad.

I´ve done it mainly because of Homebrew developing (as with my PSP) i don´t play that much
