    Default some questions for the Wii

    Hey all, had some questions for the Wii. Tried looking some of them up, but couldn't really find anything. SO here they are.

    1) What are some websites that are made especially for Wii? I heard there's one that has games you can play on your wii, ect?
    2) Last time I went online on a Wii, I couldn't hear music on myspace or anything...have they changed it now so you can stream and hear/see videos?
    3) What is the best thing to use for streaming/watching videos on the Wii? I heard there's ORB, and also something called Pimpware. What's the best to use, either for content on the computer or on sites. (Not talking pirated)
    4)Kinda like ^, I have legit movies on my comp, so how can I watch them on my Wii? I don't think I have wireless near me, but I do have an ethernet cord in it, so it'll have internet.
    5) I know you have to buy the Opera browser, is there anything else like that I should download/buy?

    Thanks.

    Go to Wiicade.com in the opera browser and play some mediocre ass games.


    Also the Wii dosent have an Ethernet port.

    So you need the usb to ethernet adapter or wireless./

    And if you want to stream movies from your comy get a modded xbox with XBMC.

    Yeah, the Wii is mostly just good for Wii games, not much else.

    Buying a web browser is for suckers, by the way.

    You could buy the Nintendo Wi-fi USB Connector as well, just install the drivers and plug it in. Though that is probably about the same price and possibly slightly more. It allows the DS to connect as well though. If you hack it I think the PSP and maybe more can be done with it as well.

    It's a highly uncompatible unit.


    It has only worked on 1 out of 5 of my compys.

    Plus the ineternet is full of people who have issues with it.

    They added Opera browser for 5 bucks. Much more you can do with it. The other was a cheap beta I think.

    Hmm. Never noticed that. So, my Opera Beta probably doesn't work anymore...not that I ever used it anyway.

    It still works, or at least it should.

    I recommend a Wi-Fi Max better, it works with my PSP, NDS, Wii and PS3 without probs.

    My beta works as well (as of last night). I don't see why your beta would be any different Sprung...
