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!

[@calculateddeclination5534]

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.

Instead of Mario Kart Wii CTGP, I would recommend Mario Kart Wii Deluxe, a mod that has double the tracks that CTGP has (480 tracks!) and all of the retro tracks! Here's the trailer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHjcpI2ZjZyVgc0

[@hberrysc3517]

My homebrewed Wii all the sudden decided to stop working today. I pushed the power button and it turned green, but that was it. No display or audio came through, the disc drive didn’t even try to read the disc and never turned on, and the Wiimote can’t even connect. I have priiloader installed, but I can’t even load THAT even with the power button/reset button method. It was working perfectly last night. The only thing I installed yesterday was CTGP, which had been sitting on my SD card for quite a while. There was an hour worth of updates that had to install, but I’ve never had trouble with CTGP at all on my other Wii. I’ve tried switching different cords/TVs/Power Cords, nothing is helping. Any help would be appreciated. Hoping this isn’t a permanent brick and can be fixed somehow.

[@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!

Hey, I’m playing Resident Evil on my modded Nintendo Wii. I reached the disk switch portion of the game , do you have any solution to how I can perform the switch?

[@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??
