Gaming Wii Mini USB confirmed.

[Auyx]

The Wii Mini has a USB port. May be helpfull if its as easy to crack as the normal wii.

The firmware is likely to be completely different due to lack of Online features or the SD slot - I wouldn't be optimistic just yet.

You got one?

You got one?

That´s not the real question.
The real question is: did somebody actually buy one?

When I didn't have wireless, I couldn't at all

Having USB isn't overly useful. There is no current (public, at least) exploit which works via USB, so unless the System Menu allows transfering saves to/from USB (in which case a modified save game exploit could work), there's no way to actually get code running. Once it is running, everything can be loaded from USB and that's fine, it's getting it running in the first place that is the challenge.

Tbh, I never played online that much on the Wii. Maybe once or twice during MK tournaments. Most of the time playing multiplayer, was offline with friends. So the lack of internet shouldn't be a problem for me, if I were to buy a mini.

Like many have said, I believe the lack of SD slot makes it really tough to crack this one open.

The Wii Mini:- A piece of cheap, light and made out of plastic console. That is the wii mini.

no sd port= no brawlhacks + some kickax homebrew

Took me a while to actually get to be in a place that youtube wasn't actually blocked but now that I see the video and that it actually shows the system menu it IS rather interesting to me that, yes, it says it's 4.3U but there's no SD icon and no GC section in data management as well as only one disk image in the disk channel. They actually changed it. That's rather interesting.
