[QUOTE="Alacres, post: 5356771, member: 234449"] Hey everyone, I've finally decided to get a Wii with the intention of setting it up to play Gamecube games, virtual Wii games, and backups, but as I've never messed with Wii "hacking" before, I'm still a bit in the dark. I found the [URL='https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-softmod-a-wii-and-play-backup-wii-gamecube-and-wiiware-games.360687/']great guide[/URL] in the tutorials section that shows a step-by-step on setting up a HBC and all that stuff, but I still had a few things I wanted to ask about: [LIST] [*]Firstly, back when I initially found out about the possibility of hacking a Wii (it's been awhile), I remember reading that a certain exploitable game was needed (Lego Batman was one of them I believe) in order to get it working -- or at least I think I did.

Only thing drive me crazy is all these new horror games nowadays is its so dark, all time. I can't even play them. I understand they trying to create spooky but be creative a little, not just darkness with pop out scare scenes.
