How about not modding the Wii and just purchasing the games?  You know, so the developers can--oh, I don't know--develop new games?

[pointdablame]

That's a good idea Frosty, I think you are the right man for the job.

I will leave that to your capable hands

I appreciate your virtue and sarcasm, but there is obviously something you don't know:

Modchips do not exist solely for thieves

Modchips enable open source developers, with every right under their license to Linux, to port that operating system to the XBOX, to create full-fledged media players that beat the iTV to market by YEARS, ala the XMBC. Additionally, these modchips have allowed hobby game developers to do just that for decades.

So, think about it before you classify every modchip enthusiast as a thief. Some of the modchip installers of today may become the game developers of tomorrow.

Yeah except for the fact you're talking about the Wii and there is no homebrew scene on it at all.  And the Gamecube homebrew scene has been pretty much destroyed by the recent console update.

Listen, this thread is not to discuss weather or not you approve of modchips, it's about me giving other like minded modders a heads up.

So if you do not like modchips then go back to knitting sweaters with your sisters and stop spamming my thread.

It's a sad day when someone posts a thread that promotes an actual discourse on a subject (especially in regards to such a controversial topic as mod chips) and thinks their thread is being 'spammed' when someone replies with a view you don't agree with.

Let's call a spade a spade, Spy:  Are you telling me that the reason you're modding Wiis is for a non-existent homebrew scene and not to play pirated games?  Somehow, I don't think so.

I also appreciate your concern for what I do and don't know, but let me help you out regarding if "modchips exist solely for thieves" or not: if you're in possession of an item that has prompted federal agents to raid homes and businesses looking for said item, you can be pretty sure you're dabbling in the illegal.

But hey---don't take my advice.  Keep that dream alive of modding every successive motherboard revision Nintendo develops so that the Wii's software library can head the way of the Dreamcast as soon as possible.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a sweater to knit.   

[SNAAKE]

it can still be done..you have to use a dremel tool and grind the IC chip and solder inside. I did a few already

I appreciate your honesty

Are you referring to B or C? What was the DVD chipset marked?

I was under the impression that the 2nd version of B had to be dremelled and that version C is completely impossible.

I have only modded A's so far

Cheers,
Craig

You are correct.  The newest chipset doesn't have clipped pins, its just unhackable at the moment.

[danny_galaga]

Now I have a modded Wii and my daughter is so happy, but I hope that stupid remote doesn't go flying and knock me in the head.



Cheers,
Craig

your daughter is hot, pops!

That's for the previous version.

So if you do not like modchips then go back to knitting sweaters with your sisters and stop spamming my thread.

I wasn't spamming your thread.  As my previous posts on the subject will show if someone was that concerned to look up... I fully support modchips.  I feel that you should be able to alter your system in any way you see fit.  I don't condone playing burned games or go around telling people to steal games they could be buying, but I think that the modchip itself and the installation should not be illegal (and that is just my opinion).

However, don't start up this thread about the Wii and then try to rationalize your motives by talking about the Xbox which has a thriving homebrew scene and a few uses that are a lot less of a grey area (in my mind), such as using it as a linux box or using it for XBMC.  I don't want to start another thread about what is "more wrong' or what have you, but those 2 instances certainly sit in a different part of my mind when the alternative is modding your Xbox to steal as many games as possible.

That's not at all possible with the Wii, so don't try to mask the mod with a homebrew scene excuse.  You could still be making copies of your own games which I also feel should be completely legal.  If that's the case, great... but your excuse in this thread is stupid.  There is no Wii homebrew scene and the GC scene has been squashed as far as running it on the Wii is concerned.

Did you even read my response before you threw your 8yr old hissy fit?

I have no problem with modchips.  Mame roms have no part of this conversation, but congrats on trying your best to make a comparison.  Had you actually read my first post, and even parts of my second, you'd see that I wasn't attacking you or what you did.  I even said in my second response that I have ZERO problems with what you do with your systems.  All I'm saying is if you're going to try to defend the Wii mod scene, don't use "homebrew" as a reason.  But by all means, continue your rants. 

Read.
Comprehend.
Post.

Then for some reason it turned into a big debate about weather modchips are good or bad. It's so stupid.

No, Frosty suggested buying the games, you cited the homebrew defense, which doesn't really apply to the Wii (e.g. next time choose a better quote when you hit Google).

PDB pointed out the fallacy of your argument and you decided that it was an attack on modchips.

Simple truth of the matter, as PDB plainly said many times, is that he didn't have a problem with your modding your Wii, he would just prefer that if you are going try to make an argument in defense of modding a Wii that you try to use one that made sense instead of just pulling a random quote from a Google search.

 

[ChadTower]

Do you own an arcade board for every single ROM you have? No.

None of you do.

I do.

[CheffoJeffo]

If you have a hard drive full of ROMs you have absolutely no right to post in my thread that modchips are "immoral" and it would be utterly stupid to even consider doing so.

The only person who implied that might have been frosty ... everybody else is slapping you for your lack of logic skills and your silly tantrums.

Really, have you actually *read* the posts that you are replying so vehemently to ?

[spystyle]

[CheffoJeffo]

Oh hell, will they just delete this thread already?

It's gone so far South, I think it's in Mexico.

Why are you in such a rush to delete a thread just because it didn't pan out the way that you wanted it to ?

I don't see a reason that this thread should be deleted as no rules were broken. Your being unhappy ain't a particularly good reason to delete it.

HINT: *YOU* can lock the thread to prevent it from going further away from the fame and glory that perhaps you had envisioned.

[spystyle]

[CheffoJeffo]

Isn't a bad idea to delete threads simply because the original poster doesn't like the way that they turned out ?

Is it fair to delete the opinions of people who posted in good conscience and followed the rules, all because you don't think their opinions are worthy of inclusion in your thread ?

This is a discussion forum after all.

 

[spystyle]

Yeah, I suppose so...

But if this thread was a drawing it would be all scribbles!

I guess I could attempt to manually fix it...

[spystyle]

OK, I gave this thread a transfusion

Next time I will simply ignore naysayers

[CheffoJeffo]

Now that was just the worst thing that you could have done, including some of the nonsense that I have pulled .

"I'm taking my posts and going home"

If you can't stand by your posts, the perhaps you should avoid it in the first place.

In the words of the immortal Sinistar ... "Ron Howard!"

[spystyle]

OK good buddy!

[tommy]

Now I have a chance at the next cool cabaret that shows up ... the master plan is working perfectly!!
 

 

[CheffoJeffo]

tommy, tommy, tommy ... if you want to play at quote-fu, then you must at least try to grasp the basics.

1 - pick a quote that it relevant to the topic at hand. If there is too much back story, then the effect will be lost.
2 - pick a quote from somebody that people will eagerly laugh at
3 - be funny

I'm not sure what you intended, so perhaps you did adhere to Rule 1, although your intent escapes me.

People will be happy to laugh at me, so you did OK there.

Again, not sure what you were getting at, so perhaps you were funny and I have just missed it.

Now, if *I* were to spin some quote-fu in this thread, I would look at the subject matter and the areas of contention (in this case that spystyle doesn't like when people post stuff that he doesn't like in 'his' threads) and try to find a quote from someone that people already think is foolish and that makes me laugh.

So, to recap (because I hear the recap guy has been banned) ...

1 - be on topic -- OP doesn't want anybody to post opposing viewpoints
2 - quote from someone people commonly laugh at
3 - be funny

And, although it is short notice and I haven't updated my databasse in a while, I come up with ....

I would like to ignore everyone on this forum and just post in response to my posts, is that possible? 

See ?

[AcidArmitage]

if i had a wii and it was modded... I would steal every ---smurfing--- game because im cheap and dont care what you think

I think I'll get that printed on a T-shirt

You see, though, at least AA's argument made sense ... and haven't you (spystyle) had posts killed here before for your promotion of piracy ?

[spystyle]

I'm not following you... 

But you have to admit, what AA wrote was very funny. The monkey avatar makes it even more funny
