Thanks

No problem bro. Apparently the current modded wii is from the new motherboards. Reported a bit not stable from a friend of mine. So if you can track down the old motherboards that will be better.

Hello. I am a total noob here. wud like to ask some questions.

My wii ( is modded BTW) can't play SSBB ( which is Original ) Is it cause of the modchip or is it cause of the DVD reading lens ( which is stated on the official nintendo site as the main problem) ? And what solutions can I take to solve this?

And with the new games coming out... I am quite afraid that my wii won't be able to play the newer games, which is going to suck.

Please please help

Oh boy, spend almost half the day in office going through this thread. Already read over 70 pages and run through search, but still not too clear on few things.

so far I understand:
virgin NTSC Wii only play NTSC Wii, VC and GC game.
virgin PAL Wii only play PAL Wii, VC and GC game.
Wii accessories is not region locked.

Not sure:
Freeloader is use to play cross region GC game only?
There is no way to play cross region Wii and VC game unless modded.

To connect to a PC LCD monitor, you can do it direct if you use component cable.
Will need a VGA box if using VGA cable.
DVI/sub-D connection unknown....

Feedback:
How good are the selection of game on the Japan VC?
Would Malaysian credit card accepted on Japan VC?

I can read Japanese so its not a real bother for me to buy the NTSC Wii.

Thanks in advance!

PA only sells JP, US and Asia region games. What about PAL? Any online stores have PAL games?

yes, wii is region lock.

Freeloader no longer working after the later patches.

no, there's no way to play cross region.

yes, you can connect your wii to LCD TV/Monitor that has the component input.

Wii core input support ONLY AV cable (White+Yellow+Red) and Component Cable.

the VC collections are growing by weeks/months.

Nope. Malaysian Credit card isn't accepted, however, there's the infamous Brazil Hack.

It's not hack proof. It's just a bit hard to hack it. Let me see if I can find the sauce... But since the current price of modded wii hasn't not increase. I say the modders are one step ahead of Nintendo. Again, sorry for the modding talk.

Sauce

Please correct me if I am mistaken, but the aticle in the "sauce" is a year old, it was dated March 2007. Could it be the very good hackers has found a way around the design changes?

Well if you find any I would love to hear it... Please state your "sauce" also. I'm just stating it as it is.

Hey peeps, I've been reading the post and seen that some people are having problems with the latest update the 3.3U. My Wii is modded in FW 3.3U and was working fine with some games, had some issues like double channels.It worked for a while then , puff, stopped reading games,BUT weirdly I can get 'some' games like Mario Olympic,Bully to play and 'some' like Star wars,TNA wrestling,indiana jones can't (that is the question!. It starts to spin, makes some noise , and then says cannot read disc. Has anyone come up with a solid conclusion yet?is it because of my modchip or the disc(single layer,double layer issues) or else...Please help me anyone..

Hi would like to clarify something....

Currently the Japan version of Wii that was modded into English...was said to be a bit unstable...

Hi, first im interested in a modded Wii. I might get a Jap set convert to English interface. i got a couple of Questions about it.

1) If i buy Original Wii game, which region should i buy? Can i buy both US and Japan?

2) Can i play Original Gamecube games on the modded Wii? How about the controls for the game?

3) Where is the best place and cheapest place where i can find this set?

4) After i mod my Wii, can i use the internet?

Extra info will be appreciated thx.

NTSC U/C which is US.

About modded no idea.

3) Where is the best place and cheapest place where i can find this set?
Our forumer : ooj or you can try Jaya Jusco. they both the official nintendo reseller.

4) After i mod my Wii, can i use the internet?
About modded no idea. but certainly comes with risk.

Extra info will be appreciated thx.
