and I'm grateful for them, I hope your day gets better.

I bought a S/H wii on av forums to play Mario Sunshine only to find out it did not have any Game cube controller ports! (I did not know later models had this missing) so I picked up another at CEX for £18 with a 2 year gtee! when I got it home it had the previous owners Netflix account still active which has been still active for over a year, one weird thing is they dont watch any films! Maybe the forgot about the direct debit? using a wii to HDMI dongle from Amazon the picture quality is surprisingly good on an HD TV.

:smiley: unfortunately (for the missus) it's the tip of the iceberg..

That's some serious overkill, huh?, hahahahahaha.

Good deal- just got back into playing with the Wii recently. Yes it doesn't have the amount of shoot em ups and games of the Play Station or X Box but its good for family games.

Your mums a drug dealer..

CRACK

I think she was yesterday's hottest deal? Cheap as chips lad..

No heavy rock background music.. :smiley:

On Youtube look for tutorials by HighTeckMan very clear and easy to understand, no heavy rock background music,

Youtube has all the guides, links and info you need.

The cheapest is £18 for me also, I clicked wii consoles sort lowest to highest. Though I would pay a few quid more for a black one with the remote with built in motion plus.

Look harder

don't you need a certain game to run home brew

Drug dealer

I gave mine away!

£15 in CEX

Just dug mine out the loft, Installed a few of the emulators. Definitely worth £21.99 & 30 minutes of your time to install everything.

Thanks, this seems to be a popular view. Might just buy one on Amazon, and send it back if it's crap!

Anyone recommend the best place to get extra Wiimotes? And are the charging stations with rechargeable batteries any good? TIA.

Cold, better to hold out until they come in cereal boxes.
:stuck_out_tongue:

Bought one for £35 off ebay with over 5000 retro games built in nintendo nes snes nintendo 64 sega master system mega drive etc and the ability to copy wii games to the H drive so if u can do it yourself on a £20 console its a bargain

Not a week goes by where someone doesn't post a wii deal

The easiest way to see without getting your hands on it is the model that is GC compatible can be stood on its side the non GC compatable can only lay flat so the wording on the front will be in a different orientation,

I got 4.. just in case :wink:

Apparently only early Wiis are nicely compatible with GC.
Gamecubes are also about twice the price of the Wii at CEX.

Great for soft mod, if you have a wiiu, you can also do the softmod on the virtual wii :wink:

I miss the days of Homebrew and having dozens of games on a hard drive that I could just pick and choose from. Nowadays you just end up have 3 games to choose from, and then having to trade one in to afford another.

I didn't know there were Wii consoles without GameCube ports, I got lucky then. Although I'm playing with the hori GameCube controller that plugs into the Wii remote.
@theoak I play my GameCube games using nintendont

Bought one from cex, tempted to get another as a spare. Great for playing 'legal' backups, enjoying Mario sunshine again and never had a wii so got loads to get through.
