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.

Retro mod No. 2

I did this mod just today and had heaps of fun doing it. I found my the charger for my immitation dremel and put it to good use.

Also, I would love to see any gaming related retro mods that any of you have done! Comment with a link!

Retro mod No. 1

This is a segment where I retro fit items from gaming past. This first one I did months ago but since this is the first installment, I thought it would be fitting to start at the beginning.

Garage Sale Bargains: Episode 4

Well, I must attract these things. Another SNES for a mere $5, bringing the total now to 6! There were 10 Garages on sale today and this is all we came away with. The only other things to be seen were a couple of Xbox's, one of them was labeled "New! Never Used $150" and the other had an $80 sticker slapped on it.
I'm still looking forward to when someone has an old Xbox and they just scribble "360" next to it, to see if they get a big sale.

Wii Fit and Glowing Wii's

Well, we have been putting it off ever since it came out. We finally bought WiiFit.
First impressions are GREAT! I am actually going to see if it can make me lose weight, just by coming casually to play it everyday (no strict routine).

Also, you may have all noticed that your Wii's are glowing and you may have even read the message about the new firmware update. The message will not go into detail but basically the unauthorised files are your Twilight Hack files.

I've read that when you update, you can no longer install the Homebrew Channel or any .wad files.

So here is what you do:
If you have the Homebrew channel and want to keep it, ignore this update for a while.
If you want to update your Wii firmware, delete the Homebrew Channel, Twilight Hack save file and any Channels that are not legitimate i.e. installed via .wad.

I'm sure it won't be long until somebody works out how to install the HBC on a Wii with the new firmware. When that happens we can all update and reinstall.

Garage Sale Bargains: Episode 3

Grabbed another bargain just one day later, a PSX for $5. Nice. It also came with a wireless controller setup, which was good because I've had a wireless controller of the same brand kicking around for ages with no main unit. So now I have the main unit and 2 wireless controllers. The wireless setup doesn't work with the PSone due to the rounded front. But if someone (me) wanted to make an in-car Playstation with wireless controllers, a dremel tool might do the trick!
