Re: "Lazy" game developers...

For the programmers it all comes down to motivation. If your working on a project you don't care about (most people are) or a project that has already sucked the life out of you (most people reach this point) you stop paying so much attention to the details and push something that works to meet the ...

Re: Anyone here use Gecko OS on their Wii?

I have both the NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases and never had an issue with the screen getting cut off. I use cfgloader to boot all my games though, have not messed with Gecko OS/Disc loading in a long time. Maybe you could try using another loader, Neogamma supports disc loading and so do most of the ot...

Best Wii/GC imports?

Hello all, I love my Wii and Gamecube and I'm blowing through most of the North American releases I'm interested in pretty quickly. Both are modded and able to boot games from other regions so I'm turning to 'net in search of good games to import. I'm mostly interested in Japanese games but if there...

Re: Hardware Vs Emulators

As someone who's owned nearly every console released in America after 1986 I have to say that I prefer emulation now. I own a Wii, it is softmodded, I have a big HDD hooked up to it with all my games on it. I never have to get off my ass to change carts, hook up a console, turn consoles on/off, hook...

Re: Addictive Puzzle Games that aren't Tetris

Puzzle Bobble (Bust-A-Move). Spent hours and hours playing that game on the Neo-Geo and Dreamcast.

Puzzle Bobble LIVE! is on sale today on Xbox live btw. I just picked it up for 400 points and so far I'm undefeated in player matches. :D

Re: backup wii games to external hard drive anyone?

SNEEK just keeps getting better and better. I'm currently running UNEEK+DI, have my NAND and all my games loading from the HDD. I can't use the real NAND anymore because I'm running out of space for save files. This is interesting: m If he really has all that working I'll be giving it a try when he ...

Re: backup wii games to external hard drive anyone?

You can also use a usb device for NAND emulation now. The only problem is the limit on channels is hard coded into the system menu, so you'll need homebrew software (like Triiforce) to load any titles that are installed after you reach that limit. If you use UNEEK or SNEEK you can also use what they...

Re: backup wii games to external hard drive anyone?

I never had a problem with Monster Hunter 3 online off my harddrive. My cousin received a message from Capcom during a game warning him about his modded system. I don't think you'll get in trouble with a modded Wii unless you cheat during the game. He cheated, that's why he got caught. Note that in...
