Wait... You can play PAL (and Japan) games on an NA Wii with Homebrew?  Maybe I will pick up a black Wii, slap Homebrew on it and order Another Code R, Disaster:DoC and some other PAL games.

That's one of the best parts of homebrew

 

 

An important note to you all before you dive into the world of Homebrew. Use it responsibly and carefully. There is a small chance of bricking your Wii if you aren't careful.

Yeah, I figure, that's why it'd be a new Wii, which I'd never update.  Just put it in my bedroom and play games like Endless Ocean and adventure titles (Another Code, Secret Files, SF2) when I can't sleep.

This is why I'm scared of modding my Wii. Being able to play Another Code R on a NTSC-U console would be nice. But honestly I'd rather not risk messing with my Wii. I don't want to play the game that badly. I'm quite comfortable with DS and PS2 homebrew but it seems like it's a lot easier to brick a Wii. Especially if you have a recent model console (like myself) and run the latest firmware (which I do. Because I want to be able to play online).

Ideally, Nintendo and Microsoft should abandon region-locking (gives us one less reason to mod). Especially for games that aren't released in your region. For eg. What's the point of region-locking a PAL Another Code R if it's not released in North America? It's not like importing the PAL version steals any sales from the NTSC-U version seeing as how a NTSC-U version doesn't even exist! On the Xbox 360 they give publishers the option to choose to region-lock their games or not. So some 360 games are region-free (I own two region-free Japan-exclusive shmups). But every single Wii game is region-locked. Madness.



There's nothing wrong with making digital copies of software you already own. Surely you folks have ripped your own music CD's into MP3's sometime over the past 10 years. It's no different.



Hardware is only a means to enjoy great games!

Homebrew and piracy are not synonymous. Not even close. Homebrew literally: brewed at home=(obviously) home made games and apps.

Now, you can homebrew apps that let you play back-up copies.

But saying homebrew=piracy is like saying that wild plants=poisonous. Not that cut and dry, folks.



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

Some guys on my city charge $100 for installing homebrew for you. I usually do it for a third of the price to my friends as soon as they get their Wiis. It's like a ritual.
