Thank you so much

I remember modding the Wii when covid first started and we all had to be quarantined. It was the first console I modded and it was fun and pretty simple if you pay close attention to tutorials. This channel has also helped with a few issues I ran into the past. So thanks we came a long way and the Wii still alive!

Yeah covid really activated me to mod the wii. I love doing the wad files it almost feels like cheat codes.

thats very cool, I put my Wii in the closet in early 2012 when I went to college and didn't even remember having it till about a week ago when I started cleaning out the closet and I have definitely become more tech-literate since 2012 so with Nintendo killing online I figured why not try and hack it and Reddit brought me here to give me a rundown on what homebrew is, I love that there is a community that kept the Wii alive I will be doing my HW on what to do and I will be back to throwing shells your way.

[@stevenscott1479]

I sold my Wii back in 2009 so I can pay bills. I regretted that for a while, but I came across a Wii at a thrift store for $20 and grabbed it immediately. It's all I play now, between this and a ps2 I don't even play modern games anymore.

Anyone can answer my question. So I have my Wii and an SD card . I have to Wiis one at my house and at my grandma's house so I Homebrewed my grandma's house Wii and put it on an SD card and on system memory. But the problem is for both the Wiis when I try to launch the Homebrew channel it says ," This channel cannot be launched on this Wii consoles (reminder it's both) so if anyone has a theory or solution please put it in the comments .

[@ericcook5745]

One thing I wanted to point out with HDMI adapter I found out when I bought one that it's not perfect what I mean is it works great for Wii games and some other types of games but when I try to say use the virtual council for an example and play some games from that library I would do is get a black screen and I found out that it only works with the AV cable when it comes to that so if you do get one of these and you get a black screen or you can't see anything just all of a sudden that could be your problem too so even though it sounds like a great addition it doesn't always work with everything

[@lumi55315]

The reason why the Wii is so amazing is because it's basically the big brother to the DS, so much nodding, but far superior graphics, and so. So many iconic games. Skylanders giants, super monkey ball, super mario galaxy 1 and 2, maters tall tales, and many others.

Modded wiis are so fun. I love my switch, but the wii is my all time favorite console ever made. It revolutionized the way you play games. The switch is basically a wii with a built in sensor bar. Looking forward to what the modding community can do to the switch once services end for it.

[@MrUNIVAC1220]

Just a heads-up, it looks like your Wii's GPU might be starting to go. I can see the telltale shimmering dots in the bottom center of the screen on the homebrew browser from 3:18-3:40. This eventually killed my original launch Wii, which I had to send in for a replacement. It's caused by WiiConnect24, which basically turns on the system without running the fans. You might want to think about finding a more recent one, like the red model. They run much cooler!

[@dxubty]

Very off topic but your accent is so interesting, it’s undoubtedly North American but I hear a lot of English and even Scottish at points.

[@AndyLR_jiji]

[@David_lta]

Hi,can u pls tell me from what site you guys get the wii roms?🙏🙏🙏

[@BLASTIC0]

The HDMI adapter wont give you 1080… its still 480, but allows for 480i instead of 480p… so it still does something… but the ads make it seem likes it is an upscaler.. it even mentions 1080p.. defiantly worth getting though for $9.xx

[@kreshnikkona3866]

how big should me sd card be? Is 2gb enough for homebrew applications, and a 64gb usb stick for wii games?

[@korbi_x6074]

How do I get this version of the usb loader gx? My version don‘t have the tap „Gamecube“ and „Wiiware“. My usb loader gx channel looks differnt too 🧐

[@albertowilliams959]

I still feel the wii is stronger than the switch with how it runs gamecube games flawlessly

[@saricubra2867]

Is not stronger. The Wii's GPU and CPU is basically the same as the Gamecube, but more perfomance, same for the Wii U, but faster than the Wii and Wii U. If you play Gamecube games on the Wii and Wii U, that is native and NOT emulation. Therefore games are 100% playable, unlike the Switch when the CPU and GPU architecture are totally different vs the Gamecube/Wii/Wii U.

[@saricubra2867]

The Wii U is Nintendo's best console for retrocompability of all time, because you can play Wii and Gamecube without emulation. And it can output 1080p.

[@albertowilliams959]

Yeah, but if thats the case, wouldn’t that make the switch weaker, considering it cant even run its own legacy content better than its predecessors??

[@TheKill3rShark1]

The Wii2hdmi only runs 480p not the advertised 1080p. It should only be used if your tv doesn’t have compostite nor component connections. As there is problems with these adapters. The best option is to get a component cable as it allows native 480p without flickering or “white dots” on the screen

[@millabasset1710]

The Wii can't output 1080p doesn't matter what adapter you're using, you're simply getting a cleaner picture and upscaling 480p to 1080p. The adapters exist to be convenient for modern tvs.
