    Hacking SoftMods

    A couple questions for a helpful member: I know they are a work in progress, but do soft mods hold any advantage over installing a hard mod? Also, what is the compatibility % at now? Do they require any special patching before burning? I have many backups burned and I would rather not have...

    Hacking Will Nintendo repair a modded Wii (off warranty)?

    My Wii is modded and I've gone to Nintendo's site to see about my repair options. Turns out my warranty is expired but they can repair it for $75. If I send in a Wii with a chip in it, what will they do with my system? Will they still repair it and send it back for $75 with the chip intact...

    Gaming How can you get banned on XBOX live?

    If I have a flashed XBOX 360 and I want to buy and play some of the XBOX live arcade games, will they check my firmware and ban me? Or is the check only done when you try and go online with a burned copy of a retail game? Thanks.

    Gaming Lending out my Wii

    I will be leaving the country for 6 months and lending my OpenWii modded system to my sister for the duration. I would like to know, given the recent homebrew hacks found, if I have to warn her about updating or anything of the sort. Afterall, I would hate to lose the ability to play future...

    PS1/2 Untold Legends PS3

    Called Dark Kingdom. How does this game measure up to a game like Champions of Norrath (which I loved) or Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (which was also great)? I really love this genre. Can you play 4 players on one console with this game?

    To the French members:

    I will be living in Paris for 6 months this year and I was hoping you could provide me with an approximate cost of living for 1 month in Paris. I would be looking for a small apartment that would be shared with 1-3 others. Any estimates would be helpful for my budgeting! Thanks!

    Gaming Any difference with the Euro/US versions?

    If I am using a Euro version of an online DS game will my experience be any different than if I am using a US version? For example, if my friend is playing online with a US version will I be able to use my Euro version and play with him?

    Gaming Buying a new XBOX360

    Ok, here's what I've heard. 1) Newer XBOX360's have an added heatsink to prevent the RROD 2) Only first generation XBOX360's with a certain DVD drive can be modded. Newer ones can't. Are these two statements true? I am really waiting for a STABLE version of the XBOX360 to come out that will...

    Gaming My 80-yr old Grandma plays her first video game

    I convinced my Grandma, who had never to this point in her life played a video game, to try Wii Sports Bowling for a few frames. At first she was reluctant because she thought that if I got her to play she would be "hooked" and "addicted" to video games (she thinks the same thing about the...

    Gaming Think we'll get more Mii face options?

    I don't think we need more detail per se, but it would be nice to see a few more options, especially eye, nose and mouth. Not to mention that the facial hair options are extremely limited.

    Would you like to see sub-forums in this forum?

    I think there are enough posts in this forum to warrant the addition of sub-forums for specific consoles. I realize that these consoles are not the focus of GBAtemp, but they are discussed nonetheless in significant numbers and this forum is a bit cluttered. The "Other Handhelds" forum is...
