The Wii is my favorite console when it comes to modding.. The Wii U is a close second.. The Wii did things it wasn't intended to do.. Endless amount of emulators, it played DVDs *"Wiis before 2009 had a DVD drive in them while the 2009 and up models had different drives that didn't play DVDs but the alternative to that is buy an external DVD drive that use USB connection"* , a few music apps that let you stream music online or play backup music that you own, LET YOU BACKUP YOUR GAMES THAT YOU OWN and USB loader is just perfection.. The only thing I hated about the Wii was that it wasn't HD..

The bit about an ARM processor in the Wii highlights a sort of dark age of computers: in most modern computer systems, the main CPU doesn't control the system. It's a microcontroller somewhere else that decides when you can power on, when you can boot, and when you can use it. On the flipside, if you can control said microcontroller, you basically own the system. So it's just kicking the can down the road.

Fantastic video! I've been modding my consoles since I paid the guy who ran my local video game rental store to instal a Magic 3 mod chip on my phat PS2., it was so sick, no swap and capable of playing any burned games discs. You could rent PS2 games and use any old burner to make a direct copy and it just booted right up it was incredible. I went from paying $50 a game and only able to play a few games, to being able to rent games for $2, and burn the game onto a DVD. I had every single PS2 game out there. It was "magical" lol. I've since modded a gamecube, wii, switch, saturn (saroo), and wiiu. But it was the PS2 that was the coolest by far.

58:03 what a legendary time to witness, I remember following it religiously on qjnet from 1.50 thru 3.71. It was so exciting to keep up and be witness to it, not knowing how big a part of homebrew history was being made. I remember for what seemed like forever, we all thought that the homebrew scene was locked out to only those who were committed enough to never update and miss out on new game releases, until the tif/png exploit. thank you to all the OG's who were there and made it happen. As a dirt poor middle schooler living in a trailer and constantly lonely, it was great to be part of a bigger community and have tons of access to emulators without having to buy more expensive games, it really helped me through a tough time.

@AurynTwo29 күн бұрын
I am 50+ years old so my beginnings was on consoles (the Philips Videopac G7000 / Magnavox Odyssey 2) and I even imported games from Japan to play even if I could not read them. I was a collector and then started hording games with piracy in parallel because it wasn't always easy to even get your hands on an orginal and it all started when i got my first Super Wild card for SNES from a friend. Even if i was using (but not owning) PC when i was young I was hearing all the time that you need to update your PC continuesly if you wanted to play the newest games (what wasn't really true) so i never really bothered to play on PC especially because i was happy with my consoles. The advent of CD/DVD started putting a damper on my gaming experience because of the loading times (you can not imagine how i hate the doors in Resident Evil games as example) but still the games was fun and diverse. I then started play on PC and actually never really stopped even if now a day, i really don't know what to play. I stopped buying consoles some years back and i think i will never go back to it. All the installation times, the patches and F stupid programming are putting me of. What i mean with F stupid programming?? I think it was with the last of us 2 on PS4. You have an installation disc and a gaming disc. I put the installation disc in and need to wait 20 minutes to install that. I get the message to put the game disc in, i do so and i see that it is in the wrong language so i change it. What the game tells me?? To insert the install disc and wait 10 minutes more. Then when i want to play, it wants to update. 45 Minutes have passed before i could start play. So for what exactly do i need console?? The best of a console was that you was ready to play a game within 5 minutes including installing the system. Apart that, remember PAL games for SNES or PS1 where one of the first things you see is flags to choose your language?? Why did we lose those starting from PS2? Why is there not an option (to my knowledge) where you choose your prefered language in the menu of the console if it is so advanced? Why did the installation disc of the last of us 2 didn't ask me for that language i want?? Is that too much to ask?? If my memory isn't wrong, when i tried to say not to the update, it didn't let me start the game so why ask me at all?? Nintendo was done with me with the Switch, it is to small (power) for home and to big (size) to be portable so how i travel. It is not about software, it is about hardware. At the moment i have no plans to buy PS5, bought PS4 only for Horizon and Microsoft isn't in my home since Xbox360. Do i mean that those consoles are bad? No, but i don't see any motive to buy a console anymore. You want to tell me about emulation of consoles in other consoles?? I don't know, I think that every console i have apart the PS4 are modded and even if i have the parts to update some consoles or mod the view that are not (saying example i have a PS2 with HDD and modchip already but have the things to mod another with FMB and SDD), i can not really find a motivation to do it. When as example Dark Alex was active, i was on top of the game, i new what would work with that, had the battery in my hands and knew what the newest HEN was, what firnware was possible to use etc.. Now i would need to start over and probably spend a time checking my systems, batteries and study the newest ways to to mod the PSP. Last but not least, maybe a smaller problem but still a problem is game formats and what is the correct one. What i mean is that some emulators want the game in this format but the other emulator what it in the other format. Or example you download a game, check it with a rom organizer or checker like AGBx (the one for x360) and it tells you that it is a bad dump but 1) it works anyway on an emulator or the console 2) it was example from a "good reputation" collection. I think it is just to much time/work for for what you get and even if it would be interesting to see the homebrew games, it is probably even less worth my time. I think that gaming is loosing a lot of "attractiveness" in the past years and especially the consoles. I am tired of my "console" being the center of my home, i don't need my console to have a browser, i have a pc, i don't need my console to be playing DVD/BD, i have a DVD/BD player. Software is not really better, i don't need every game to be open world, i don't need every survival game to be the same, i don't need my game to be 100 hours long for a story you could have told me in 5 minutes. Last but not least, i would like devs to release games without bugs and be ashamed if they need to update the game because it means they didn't do their job right especially in console! Because of all of this, i think that piracy is slowing down as well.

However, I remember a documentation with the Scrambler/De-Scrambler source code for the PlayStation 2, the author only managed to make a dump, but not to reproduce in burning, but this documentation was very informative. For the Playstation 2 and the Boot of a KELF, all this started with the release of the Memor32, I still remember this teasing with this small 36cm cathode ray screen and an original memory card "with a modification containing a tablecloth". I remain convinced that they had known about this possibility for several years, but they preferred to wait until the end of the console's life. jimmikaelkael being French, I still remember the hours of exchanges on MSN and first test on carrying out an encryption/decryption of a KELF, I could even complement this superb video of how they managed to do it !
