Hello,

As the title says I am a total newbie to this modding game.

I thought it would be nice to get a modded Wii, but the guy a got it from sold me a Wii that the drive throws an error and has none of the games I wanted.
I contacted the guy and he says any modded Wii the drive does not work

I guess I should have done more research, but the fact is, it is time for me to see if I can salvage this Wii and get the games I want.

I have watched YouTube video's on Modding the Wii and all I come out with is more questions and more scared of doing anything to try and fix what I have.

I NEED HELP, and WOULD APPRECEATE ADVICE.

Thanks for reading my rant, Bar

Hello and welcome to GBAtemp.

I thought it would be nice to get a modded Wii, but the guy a got it from sold me a Wii that the drive throws an error and has none of the games I wanted.
I contacted the guy and he says any modded Wii the drive does not work
THAT IS A BIG LIE!

Softmodding a Wii does not render the drive useless. How would we back up our games if the drive stopped working on a modded Wii? Post your problems and questions in a new thread in the Wii hacking section or reply to the Wii NOOB PARADISE thread. Two good ways of easily softmodding a Wii are ModMii and Wii.guide and not some random videos.

We will try our best to help you.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, and since the default emulator is below average i downloaded some "replacements" like snes9x for snes games for example

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea ps3 is a beast still to today compared to most "sticks"
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
