I copied over about 10 VC games and WiiWare files using Wad Manager. It just let me copy and never told me how much space was left or that I was out of space.

I rebooted my Wii and was told I was out of memory and to delete things. I rebooted back into Wad Manager and deleted a few of the games and then rebooted back into the system menu. I now have free space and played a few of the games for an hour and was fine.

Did I miss something in Wad Manager that tells you how much memory you have left? It took me deleting 3 games, one at a time and rebooting after each delete to finally get some free memory. Is there some sort of backup 'reserve' memory they went into?

Am I lucky I didn't brick, or do I not have to worry about that? They sure don't give you much space to work with...

Just the way it is. There is like 512mb of user space available (I think). If you over install You have to delete until you are back in that space. No brick threat.

    If I can put my mind past the fact the big pizza places use cheap cheese that isn't 100% cheese, I do like the taste.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    lol big pizza places use cheese with fillers since it's cheap, not because of taste

    Just found out McCormick makes tea which makes sense over most tea being spices

    Restaurant near me closed and has reopened as the third pizza place it's been since I lived here, they got indian pizzas like butter chicken pizza, masala paneer, and chicken tikka pizza. Sooo excited to try those lol

    The secret ingredient is having a mixer for the dough and a special pizza oven for the pizza - honestly it makes it easy.
    trying to do it in a regular oven just isn't going to get you 100% there
    but of course cost is an issue for most people. I use the pizza oven twice a week so to me it's worth it

    A little pizza oven like an Ooni is possible but not really practical for me since I'm in an apartment. Would be a pain in the ass plus I gotta store it and what not

    yeah the outside ones are cool - but electric is so much more convenient, just plug it in, wait 20 minutes or so
