Guess I need to keep the old Gamecube out after all. :/frozzted said:Action Replay and Freeloader for the Gamecube no longer work. It just says an error has occurred after you try to load the disc.

TJ Spyke said:That must just be for Australia, because we've had that feature in North America for a few months. I noticed it after one of the updates earlier this year.

JoshuaJSlone said:Implausible. We can already copy our own VC games to/from SD card, so there would seem to be no additional risk by allowing it to be run from the SD card. If you've fooled the system enough to run something pirate from the SD card, you've fooled the system enough to allow you to copy it over and run it from the internal storage.
radioheadrule83 said:This is just fucking annoying. The one thing that SUCKS about this update. Why do this?
The people who use Freeloader already have US and Japanese Gamecube games. The 'damage' is done... they're not going to suddenly go and find PAL versions of those games now that they don't work on the Wii. They're just going to think Nintendo is greedy and malicious.
Its done that since day 1Innotech said:I like this update. the blue light goes on when you put a disc in. nice.
My clock is set an hour earlier though.
Yeah, but Nintendo didn't really do anything about the Freeloader in the GC days, other than a hardware revision (older Freeloaders don't work on the newer GCs without digital outputs, you needed a newer revision Freeloader disc on those).Leondexter said:Nintendo's always been like this. They sued Datel way back when over the Game Genie, and lost. Since then, they've often included 'breaking' cheat device codes within game version updates. Maybe it's not deliberate, but I remember reading somewhere a little history on the topic that made it look like it is.

I never noticed it before. It seems to go on more often though. I dunno.angelfly said:Its done that since day 1
donny2112 said:The Wii version didn't let you enter in homemade codes, so it was already better to just use the regular GameCube version, anyways. The fact that they did hose the GameCube Freeloader and Action Replay, though, really hurts the idea of Wii versions coming along at some point. :/

Mejilan said:As I said on the last page, I'm using the official Nintendo LAN Adapter, and my connection works just as perfectly post-update as pre-update.
Dragona Akehi said:I still don't understand why the blasted thing isn't simply region free: Nintendo has NEVER cared about imports, and their "region coding" prior to this was simply a token to licencees, being so easy to bypass.
TheGreatDave said:People shouting at Nintendo when they're sold a game that doesn't work properly on their TV, or doesn't have text they can read in? It's probably down to reasons like that so much as "We want are European branch to be able to make money".
Dragona Akehi said:The amount of effort it takes to import a game pretty much resolves any accidental "THIS GAME DON'T WORK ON MAH TEEVEES" bit. You need to have half-a-brain and all that.
TheGreatDave said:Maybe, but what if somebody buys a second hand game in a store, takes it home and cries because Mario is only in black and white? There are real reasons as well as corporate money grabbing that could be at work.
Either way, this is why I imported a US Wii. It's not worth the trouble of waiting for releases or looking for work arounds.

It makes a "blimm blimm"- Noise that keeps on looping when you are in the menue and recieve a message.Branskins said:What does everyone mean by this noise the system makes when you receive a message?
Doesn't look different to me, but you can choose different blinking options from the menue (not a new feature)Branskins said:And did anyone else notice the way the blue light fades in and out? It looks a bit different now. It seems to fade out and then when it comes back in it blinks.
loosus said:When you drag a channel across the Wii Menu (by holding down both the A and B buttons), it makes an eraser-ish noise. Is this new?
oh, good catch. I could always identify the Wii in my router settings anyway, because it was the only component with no description whatsoever, but this is better.Milpool said:Just noticed that the Wii now has "Wii" as its hostname instead of a *.
Didn't see it mentioned.
With the size of the internal memory I really doubt we'll ever see demos for games. I bet the best we'll ever get is the flash player to watch videos.jrricky said:sweet. i just got both updates since i got my wiimote back, and all i need to say is that nintendo needs to do this more often... awesome updates...
Oh, and i wonder what nintendo has planned for the metroid channel - game downloads and other updates, i hope.
Nah, they'll just add more memory in the next firmware upgrade.Fuzzy said:With the size of the internal memory I really doubt we'll ever see demos for games. I bet the best we'll ever get is the flash player to watch videos.
I didn't know they could do that. Awesome.Sharp said:Nah, they'll just add more memory in the next firmware upgrade.

Streaming videos = no extra development cost making a demo level.ksamedi said:Why, a Wii demo would need 100MB max.
And have it show the upcoming retail releases for the next 2-3 weeks so it encourages people to buy more games.Branskins said:I want to know why they didn't just make a Preview Channel instead of a Metroid Prime 3 Preview Channel. It seems kind of redundant if they keep doing this! Why not just have one mainstream channel for this kind of thing? (Come on we all want that Demo channel now! )

Branskins said:Does anyone know where I can find a cheap wireless keyboard that I can use for my Wii? Or a long-wired keyboard!
EDIT:
Is there a way to convert a standard keyboard into a USB keyboard with some sort of converter/attachment?
Jaded Alyx said:Yes.
Mr. Pachunga Chung said:uh...that's backwards.
You want female PS/2 port and male USB port.
