[Sil3n7]

Holy smokes! Great news! Time to start downloading those wii backups I saw! Where can I buy a chip Costello?

kinda pointless to review something so basic..

I mean it's probably like plus for few wires solder and it works and negatives across the board for everything else you'd expect from a modchip

I'll wait for the no solder adapter.

Kinda unfortunate name though, sounds like winger (pronounced win-jer)

The review will at least allow you to stop using "probably" in your sentences...

Also, I wonder if you need to POT-tweak your Wii's DVD-Rom laser. I had to on my Gamecube.

Yeah but it will be simpler to just post that it works with a lengthy video clip unless you're compelled to review it because of the free sample

what about the section of the second video where you don't see him putting the game into the wii? and with it turned like that up on the tv you cant even see if its on. im sure that tv has A/V input on the back of it as well. not trying to be a jerk here (cuz in all honestly i am really excited about this and hope its true!) but i dont want to get all hyped up and find out its not real. i personally would rather doubt it first and then be blown away by the truth later.

.......that's just my thoughts on it tho

1) Is there a specific way to burn GCN or Wii DVDs?

2) What kind of homebrew does the GCN have?

I would like to know how to burn wii isos also

Burn unscrambled (not RAW) Wii images to a single layer DVD-R or DVD+R (both probably work). Don't burn raw images (probably won't work because they're too big anyway).

Is it wrong to ask for a link to a good unscrambler?

 

[IxthusTiger]

Will they work with DVD+RW?

2) What kind of homebrew does the GCN have?

1) For Wii, tests have shown that burning with speeds of up to 16x works on the following media: Verbatim +R, TDK-R, Imation-R, Emtec 1x-4x -R. Burn unscrambled images just in a normal way. Super Monkey Ball PAL is a bad image, it doesn't work.

2) Not much.

Also how can you tell if an iso is raw? or pre unscrambled?

 

[bryehn]

how about more common media like verbatim -r, maxel, memorex, etc?

Actually I'm curious about adjusting the POT as well. Doesn't the Wii read the DVDs differently? So will straight-up backups work on it with this chip, or will we have to tweak the POT so the Wii can read regular DVDs?

Also, will the chip be able to play GC games burned to DVDs (normal DVD - or + R)? I'm salivating at the thought of being able to use a simple 5-wire modchip to play all my GC games on the Wii, instead of going through all the GC modding to get that to work (ala the Viper chip and case replacement).

I'm glad the first video shows actual backup insertion into the Wii, because the 2nd video is terrible and doesn't prove a thing. If we only had the 2nd video to go by, I might have been part of the non-believers.

Awesome news assuming it's true. Gonna sit back and watch the action for a little while first though, don't really wanna chuck anything in my Wii after how much I spent on it lol, especially as I'm someone who wouldn't be able to solder their way out of a paper bag!

Why not get a xeno chip for the GC? No wires - just a couple of blobs of solder, heck even I was able to do it, only costs about $20 shipped. Burn your GC isos on 8cm DVDs and away you go. xeno plays all GC games, even Twilight Princess, boots straight into them no fuss. =)
