Yeah. but make sure you update your IOSes -- 53, 55, 56 all need to be up to date.

You can use NUS Downloader (google it) to find the latest IOS for your country's Wii.

Go to the hacking section and you'll find tons of tutorials.

Thank you very much. That helped me a lot.

QUOTE(Hielkenator @ Oct 16 2010, 03:55 PM) There are better WW games imo...

Absolutely. This turned out to be a total flop.

Damn. I hope the above two posters just have horrible taste in games, because I've been waiting on this for a very long time, and there's been a lot of hype around it. It would be a real shame if this really is a flop...

All the hype?

Hardly think that most people saying it'll be a let down is hype, if anything its getting better reviews and word of mouth than I expected.

I think the game was great. I think it was definitely different but still very fun.

I think the thing I only really disliked were the bosses, since they were pretty much rehashes of old ones but the level in itself were all great and original and I also think that with every level the game got better. But I think that was also the case with older. Later levels were always more interesting, even though I still love Green Hill

hate to disappoint you but it's all true it's not even a new game it's just rehashed levels from sonic 1 and 3 even the bosses are the same. throw in an absolutely horrific physics system and mix well and you get the worst sonic game ever made IMO.

It's not really that bad in my opinion but its a little short. Everything in the game was basically taken from sonic 1-3 with very,very few original elements. For the first episode it's okay but I hope they do improve it and add on in the next episodes.

Also having played both the Iphone and Wii versions I have to say sonic is very sluggish on the Wii...

How are the levels in itself rehashes of older games? The Bosses are (no doubt!) and also maybe the look and some mechanics are similar but the levels are completely new! I think you should actually go back to S1-3&K, since your memories of the levels seem to be kind of shallow...

And to say this game, which is pretty well reviewed for a Sonic-game among critics, is the worst Sonic-Game ever is imo just ignorant and an incitement to people not to like it!

Since you seem to be serious about the bullshit you are writing I think I`m gonna end the discussion about the quality of the title here before it even begins...

Other people should decide for themself, if this title didn`t match the consumers need. As far as I can see it mainly does...

Until the next last chance everyone gives them for seemingly no reason. Why do so few people get that they just can't make good Sonic games any more? They used up their last chance like 4 games ago.

Hey guys, I just beat that game, but I want to go back and collect all Chaos Emeralds. Any idea how to go about that? Particularly, how to trigger the special stages? I can't figure out the mechanic behind making the big ring at the end of the regular stages appear.

    If they could read games directly from it would've worth it more

    You would need to hack the Dreamcast to run games from the memory card instead of trying to read the disk drive.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Don't know if it's that hard dreamcast had no write protection and it's basically a ps1
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I guess you could make a bootloader that would just run off a CD and tell the console to read and run a game off of the memory card?
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    They could potentially get GDEMU (GD-ROM Emulator) to read from vmu like how ps1 has mx4iso
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Thing is, the Dreamcast was so easy to pirate I don't think anyone bothered to hack it.
