Nintendo Wii protection bypassed with Wiinja modchip

[Dinosaurman]

I could deal with that. Not getting a Wii yet anyway though. I am waiting for SSBB. And if I have to play that with the Wiimote then I might not even get it. I hope they make it playable with the cube controllers.

Yeah they already said that you will use cube or retro controllers.

Awesome, I can't wait to play with Solid Snake.

Rent-N-Rip

I don't think you completely thought your post through...

Rent it in countries where you would buy a copied version of the game in proper stores anyway?
Or rent it in countries where broadband internet access is relatively widespread and you could download it for free?

In other words, I don't think that the rent-n-rip method would be much of a factor, given that you can acquire stuff through alternative means much easier.

I can't. Rent and Tip is something that I have used for many xbox games in the past.

If the modchip can't be used to play games from any region, then does it even have a legal leg to stand on? x_X Or are they still playing the 'backup your games and thereby extend the lifespan of your originals' card?

Apparently it's easier to pirate the console than to purchase it.. I've tried to get mine for more than one month now with no luck :/

I'm not sure the widespread 'buy a copied version in a store' option is a prevelant as you might suggest. Actually, other than 3rd world countries, it's nonexistant.

The Rent-N-Rip method is still very much alive and well, even with the rapid expansion of broadband. There's always a game you want that isn't 'out there', but it's on a shelf in a video store.

Region mod supporter here as well.

It doesn't feel right pirating games which are currently in the market -- unless you actually WANT a console/publisher to fail, then it's OK.

Uhh it's only Nintendo. I'm sorry but...They've been shit since the SNES, the N64 was O.K but it wasn't a great console, there was only a handful of good games. (Their portable systems are great, but they should give up with consoles) The Cube games are too damn expensive, and there's not enough good ones. The system lacks RPG's (ones that WEREN'T on the Dreamcast. )

I usually find the opposite to be true. But then again, I play pretty damn obscure games.

Yeah, run far away from here, if I catch I'll ban you for saying such nonsenses, only a M$ fanboy like you could say something like that

lolz

I cos I knew I'd make a few enemies with that statement...

But imagine a portable 360! Sure it'd over heat, but imagine what it could do!



lol, seeyas (best get outta here before I'm banned lolz)

Exactly. If that happens thats just one less company to bring us our fix and then we would be stuck playing the shit the rest of them put out.

And there's the small issue of it taking around 50 hours to make a disc image.

Damn. I download full PSX ISO's in that amount of time.

Dreamcast FTMFW!

Let's go pirate some PS3 games... ^__^

lolz.

Rent-n-Rip is great for dial up users.

Yeah and in some cases they will install cable lines all around you but not in your area. Then you will have the luck of being out of range for DSL. Or does that only happen to me?

I was out of range for DSL for a long time. Eventually they will get to you.

Um...something about the Wii modchip for topic's sake: uh...you have to shake the modchip to select regional lockout settings...


ugh...

QFT. It's no different just because it's on a console instead of computer. It's still hurting the developers by reducing their sales figures. Not in how much money they make, but in a market sign of how good their stuff is to their publishers. Dev companies that don't sell well tend not to stick around, no matter how good their games might be, especially ones owned by a publisher like EA or Eidos.
