Is your Wii hacked?

[Amatatomba]

Maybe hacked isn't the right word but its the only one I can think of =P

So is it? If so what hacks & such do you have on it?

Right now I just have the Homebrew Channel but I'm about to make it so I can play games off an external harddrive, and put some emulators on there.

 

[Darkboo007]

I don't even know how to hack but if I would I woulda gotten Homebrew Channel but IDK how

 

[Amatatomba]

Its really not all that difficult, there are lots of guides all over the place.

I did brick my Wii trying to mess with it a while back because I was using a shitty guide & didn't know what I was doing, but that was something different (not just the homebrew channel) and I got Nintendo to repair it for $50 =P

I use my Wii sparingly so I could care less to mod it.

 

[Chubbo1793]

Yeah, I softmodded it last summer when I was really bored. I put a few emulators on it and put some of the games I own on VC, so I don't have to pull out a system every time I want to play an old game. I also have the Homebrew Channel, but I don't use it that much.

 

[Snowy620]

Hacked out the ass.

I used Pimp My Wii and it fixed EVERYTHING. I updated to the newest Wii FW and all my stuff still works.

I only hacked it for EarthBound and any other game not on the VC.

 

[CaptainShyguy]

Nope, my Wii isn't hacked, but I would really like to hack it.

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

No. Besides, why would I want to hack it or modify it?

 

[Toshirohokkaido]

I actually did today. I'm enjoying it. 'Specially the emulators. N64 games :3

Brawl+ is pretty cool too.

Seriously? Why wouldn't you want to? Emulators & pirated games are a pretty good reason on their own.

I can't get the USB loader to work though, which is pissing me off. I probably won't even play it much once I do get it working, but its something to do.

Yeah, I know that, but I don't want to deal with the possible consequences of doing so.

You have to learn to live a little VIP lol

Which I could, but I'm not taking any chances, Ama. Better be safe than sorry, lol.

 

[Amatatomba]

I'm pretty sure nobody is actually prosecuted for emulation or game piracy.

And better safe than sorry = super boring life =P

Coincidentally, my life is boring, all right. =P

I used to feel like that, VIP. However, I said "F*** IT" and did it.

As long as you follow the instructions, you won't brick your Wii. I can direct you to a video telling you how, and what we did. Both Ryou and I did it.. It's useful. You can make your Wii play DVDs, play emulators, and get bunches of games they've made 'specially for homebrew, like Jellycar.

*Cough* Pirating can be cool too *cough*

IF it's getting caught you're worried about, then don't. It isn't illegal or anything, just frowned upon. Also, emulation is legal if you have the game you're emulating.. or, it's legal if the game isn't sold on the market anymore.

 

[Treasure Trawlers]

^ wrong to both of those; it's illegal regardless. But that's besides the point.

I have an R4 (DS flash cart), EZ Flash IV (GBA flash cart), countless emulators on my laptop/phone and, of course, I've modded my Wii. COME GET ME LAW ENFORCEMENT >

On the Wii, you won't believe how fun it is playing the old GB/GBC Pokemon games on the big screen, for example. Though what makes these fun is the x15 speed. If the game's important to me (like EarthBound, DKC123, the Mario games and so on) I prefer owning the physical copies in addition to emulating them. I'm an emulation supporter and I don't give a s*** if it's illegal, it's a great way to play lots of games.

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

Well, honestly, even if I were to, I wouldn't know how. But still, I don't want to be frowned upon, even if I can't get caught.

Google is man's best friend.

 

[kingboo]

No.
I've been persuaded to hack it since my Wii broke. I only got a few Gamecube games to play on it. Using the emulators will put some more use on it.
