More updates

I have been tossing this up for a while and have now come to a decision to discontinue the Wii and DS homebrew section of FUSIONhomebrew.
The homebrew guides and articles will be archived and the site will be taking a more retro focus. I will certainly enjoy putting Linux on an Xbox and should document it if I ever do it.
In the next few months I hope the site will have a more tidy look and may even feature a menu!

A new headquarters is planned to follow in the form of building a house, so that will be keeping me somewhat busy. Can't wait to get into the new place, my partner and I are living in a 4m x 4m room to save money on rent. The house will hopefully be built by April 2010.

I have been getting into PC gaming a bit having finally cottoned onto CounterStrike: Source. I'm not that good but the game has been out since 2004, so alot of other players have a few years up on me! This game is excellent fun to play with mates.
It's very good of my partner to put up with me playing as much as I do, living in such a small room and I tend to stay up late when gaming.

New Homebrew Content!!!

I've just written up a guide for making backups of your Wii games and also how to play them on your Wii... without a modchip! It is quite simple, just follow the steps and you should be kickin!

This is great for us collectors for preserving original titles! Please don't use this for piracy, I wrote the guide because the Wii's slot loading DVD drive is notorious for scratching discs. Only backup games you own, to preserve the originals, thankyou.

Now here is the link! Backing up Guide.

Atari Games!!

Picked up 6 Atari 2600 games from Cash Converters today! I asked how much they wanted for them and the guy said, "How much you gonna give me?"
"One dollar a piece", "You can have all six for five bucks"

Nice!



Also, in Wii homebrew news, BJ (bjblaster.com) and I have been experimenting with WiiGator's backup loader. Hopefully in the next few days, I will be able to put a decent guide up on the main site!(fusion.homedns.org)

Another Wii Update

Same goes again. Don't update yet. I don't know the full consequences of the update yet but as always, it will delete any homebrew channels or unauthorised save games.

Homebrew Channel beta 9

The new version of the Wii Homebrew Channel has been released to be compatible with Nintendo's new firmware update. Although, it is still recommended that you don't update unless you really need to.

Here's what you get with the new HBC:
-Support for SDHC cards (over 2Gb)
-Reload Button (for SD card swapping)
-Quick return to Wii Menu

How to update:
Just start up the Homebrew channel from your Wii and when the network initializes, it will give you the option to update!

Please note that some Homebrew apps won't work anymore due to some problems with old versions of devkits so you might have to go searching for alternate apps to do your bidding. Maybe don't even update just yet, if you don't need to, i.e. if you are not doing the Nintendo update.

Good luck all.
