    Hardware Used Wii boots to black screen

    So, I was at a flea market some time ago and picked up a Wii for about $10 that the vendor said "wasn't working," but I decided to take the gamble and now I'm at a bit of an impasse. The Wii appears to power on just fine, but the only AV output is a black screen. Not "no signal," but a black...

    Hardware CECHK01 PS3 Blu-Ray not working; replace or remarry?

    Just gave it a shot, but still nothing. I think the Blu-Ray drive would need to be remarried in order for discs to be read at all, correct? I popped in a CD and it seemed to be able to detect it, but said the data was corrupted.

    Hardware CECHK01 PS3 Blu-Ray not working; replace or remarry?

    Hate to double post (and quasi-necro), but this issue is driving me up the wall and I've found zero solutions anywhere online. For starters, I bought another CECHK blu-ray drive, which while having a different layout for some of the connectors, fit into my PS3 nicely and as the seller stated...

    Hardware CECHK01 PS3 Blu-Ray not working; replace or remarry?

    Hello all, I bought a used CECHK01 PS3 off ebay a few months ago, and it was obviously opened up before (rubber over torx screw was gone, HDD size was less than 80 GB). When I went through the CFW installation process, using ones that relied on a BD simply wouldn't load, so I had to use a No-BD...

    Xbox doesn't recognize games, but 360 does

    Yeah, I have a copy of splinter cell coming in soon so I can start the modding process. I'd like to replace the drive, but replacements are either scarce or expensive. UPDATE: I got SSX Tricky to boot. Originally, it wasn't recognized, then it only got to the XBOX logo, and after cleaning off...

    Xbox doesn't recognize games, but 360 does

    I recently bought a used Xbox off of ebay, and it came included with a few games (the seller listed Halo 2 and Pac-Man World 2, but they also left a copy of SSX Tricky inside). The thing is, the console (motherboard 1.1, Thomson drive) seems to not recognize either SSX or Pac-Man, but when I put...

    Mario Tennis N64 to GBC region-free?

    I would imagine that if the PAL and NTSC-U games work together, then the NTSC-J games should work too. However, I'm slightly worried that their might be some incompatibility regarding the languages (in the same way that early gen Pokemon games have issues if a Japanese copy trades with a...

    Mario Tennis N64 to GBC region-free?

    I see. Thank you for the thorough response. I could get a Transfer Pak and a NTSC-U copy of the game for the sake of trying it out, but I almost want to just go ahead and get a NTSC-J copy since they're far cheaper and often in better shape (e.g. this NTSC-J copy vs. this NTSC-U copy, both of...

    Mario Tennis N64 to GBC region-free?

    I currently own a NTSC-J copy of Mario Tennis for the N64, and from what I understand, it's possible to unlock characters by connecting to the GBC version of the game via Transfer Pak. However, since the GBC version is laden with RPG elements, I'd rather play a copy in English. Would it be...

    Are there any games worth buying a Dreamcast for?

    The Soul Calibur port is godly. Power Stone 1 and 2 are also great Smash-esque games. Generally, any multiplayer game is really good on Dreamcast, and usually the arcade ports to Dreamcast are much better than their counterparts (e.g. NFL Blitz 2001 on N64 vs. on Dreamcast).

    Thank you for the detailed response. I'll try out this method when I have the chance.

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    I'm not sure what about the flash drive is the issue. The loader detects it just fine, and I can browse the files in the loader, it's just that the game doesn't show up in the list.

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    I've started using USB Loader GX recently, and although it can detect my USB drive, my ISO (Smash Bros. Brawl) doesn't appear in the games list. I made sure that "Wii Games" was checked in the fourth tab, and I installed cIOSes according to this guide...

    GCN Best possible mods for a Gamecube

    I'd highly recommend adding a region switch. It's pretty useful since a lot of games that are pretty expensive in America are far cheaper to import. I'd also look into some lists of good Japanese-only GC games.
