Looks like infernal will have a wall of different versions of the freeloader or doesn't want to use his gamecube anymore that or he sold it.

The only reason why nintendo would not like this is if it opened the door for people to pirate games. It's still not as if you can just burn a disk and have your Wii read it. You still have to have some bypass that skips over that security read on the disk that only nintendo can burn into every disk they make.
In the end I don't think Nintendo should worry about this, as there will be an increadibly small number of people that will use it. Correct me if i'm wrong but I think this is about writting fresh code and games for the Wii instead of simply pirating games over onto it.

I decided to finally homebrew an old Wii that the disc drive stopped working on (for the 3rd time), since it was gonna cost about $70 to fix it, it was worth risking bricking it to get the Homebrew and USB loader up so that I can copy over all my old Wii games to an old HDD and give this old system some new life.
So my question is, what are some quality Homebrew Apps and Games?
whats worth checking out? what is necessity? what should I avoid?

Homebrew Channel: http://youtu.be/m70dCXkn1CE
USB Loader: http://youtu.be/gKPEgwbCFa8
New question though. Since my Disc Drive in the Wii is not working, is there a way to transfer over the games using the disc drive in my computer? or will I just have to download the games from the internets?

Well, that would probably be quicker and easier anyway, even if more risky.
I'd rather not take the risk, but I'm paying the cost of a new Wii just to fix the one I have and don't play. This mod isn't for my use.

Tri-wing screwdriver (http://www.nintendorepairshop.com/products/104-Triwing-Trigram-Screw-Driver-Nintendo-Repair-Tool/)
$37 + shipping for both, it's a relatively painless job to change the drive. Watch a video on YouTube and it should take 10-15 minutes. There is always the other option though.

Replacement Wii DVD-ROM (http://www.nintendorepairshop.com/products/2501-Wii-DVD-Replacement-Drive/)Any idea if this part is manufactured by Nintendo, or is this a third-party product?

*Not including replacement PCBs for 360 drives and drive emulators but those don't count anyway.
Post by: Mop it up on January 18, 2014, 05:01:08 PM
I don't need one right now, but I might at some point. My first system had drive issues, so it's good to know my options.

It just kicks me back to the Wii Menu.
Do i need to erase the USB Channel and try again, or is there possibly some other incompatibility going on?

If this pushed people to figure out how to get DS local wireless games running online, that'd be nice too.
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 01, 2014, 07:10:21 PM
HDD works and has been formatted to WFBS on the computer, not sure what else it could be.
any ideas?

I guess I was vague, but yeah, I meant what BlackNMild2k1 said, after the Wi-Fi is turned off on May 20th.

I thought people did... but it required both players to have a specific type of wireless router and such...
