i say within a year the Wii will get hacked to allow you to replace the dvd drive with a hard drive :D

What sort of technological oddity is this?

 

I've never known a HDD to allow the insertion of a physical optical medium before.  Can you tell me how this works?

 

 

 I simply meant storing the Wii games on the HDD itself, and launching them from the menu. Much like the original Xbox

and to answer the other guy, no, you cannot do this right now. The Wii community would explode if this was possible, much like the Xbox Commnity exploded when you were able to do this

The only thing you can currently do is stream Wii games from your PC (Wii games stored on your PC HDD, launched via Wii)

Which is great and all... but pretty much everyone in the Wii Hacking community is waiting for 2 things:

1) Connect SATA HDD to your Wii and store/launch ISO's from it

2) XBMC
