    Jailbroken Wii?

    Has anyone tried jailbreaking their wii? I've owned one for years and used it maybe 3 times.

    Jailbreaking it seems ridiculously easy... download program to SD card, install it on Wii and then burn ripped games to DVD's and enjoy them free of charge.

    If I brick it, that's no big deal. I'm never online so also not worried about being busted.

    But has anyone tried it, does it work well and are these games coded/ripped nicely?

    Nah, you don't need a chip, it depends on what firmware you run.

    If you run under a certain firmware, you can jailbreak it, then install homebrew.

    I did this years ago, and can't remember the entire process, but needless to say, I have a 500gig external hard drive hooked up to my wii with "Backed" up games on it.

    -edit-

    As for games being "ripped" nicely, it all depends. Certain games only run on certain firmwares, but for the most part, I haven't had a single problem with my setup. I'm sure it's gotten easier since I've done it.

    I'll try to find all the links to where I got help and post them here, just gimme a lil bit.

    Read both of those links, and I mean read, don't skim

    Those two should get you through the initial setup etc..

    If you plan on running an external hard drive for backups, you will need a wbfs program. I use wbfs manager, its free.

    So, I cracked it yesterday. Spent quite a while reading and getting things read, going back and forth between PC and Wii. It was a little more difficult because I wanted to play games from my External

    Then I finally put the first game I'd downloaded in and I couldn't play. Because I don't have the stupid fuggin' Wii Motion Plus it demands

    Did you really win or did Nintendo win because they got you to go buy the Wii+ ?
