Hacking Wii dvd drive?

[DarkLG]

Hey this might be a noobish question but if we changed the Drive in the Wii to say like a normal Pc drive would it read the games or what?

Won't work. Sorry. :>

Ya, no way in hell that'd work

And if I were you, I'd hold off on the hardware mods - it looks like the Wii is right on track for software mods (and is still currently "evolving")

That's what I'm going to do just wait until they release either an iso loader or a way to put custom firmware on wii or play backups without the need of a modchip.

The Wii has NO problem whatsoever reading backups. It's just that it refuses to play them because it KNOWS they're backups =P.

There was a mod for the gamecube ( http://modthatcube.psx-scene.com/content/ide-usb.htm ) but right now I know of nothing that can be done.
