My latest project

Post by Astron_Boy »

Well, some of you may know of my arcade machine........ which I've never really finished.
Well, this comes 2nd best as it is 100% portable, provided you have a TV with AV connections.

Yes, It's a Wii, but not just any Wii, what is the biggest problem with consoles? Discs.

Enter the Wode




Image




A brilliant solder-less modchip that allows one to play backed up games off a hard disk drive.
However, this is bulky, requires two lots of items to be carried about, and have a rather fragile ribbon cable protruding the case that could break if the base is separated too quickly.

So, my idea was to combine the 2 and Create the WiiHD and yes, that does sound like Weed :lol:
My nick on some non car forums is Scatman_mv, hence the watermark.

It's still in developement, but probably done by the weeks end.
In the end, it is a Wii with a Hard Drive in it, allowing backed up games, as well as homebrew programs to be played on what I believe to one true gaming console!

Enjoy :D

Get one!
No matter what mod you have done, the Wode will still work, it more or less 'replaces' the DVD drive, and acts as a bypass.
Also, as it's not a software based mod, there's no risk of bricking.

Need to clean it up a bit both inside and out, but more or less the final product.

No.
Personal mod only.
Had to tinker with it a bit, found I had a bad power cable which is now fixed, cleaned up the internals, though need to mod a bit further and add a usb port to interface with the HDD via Computer.
Tossing up putting a vinyl wrap on it simply to cover up the scratches from previous owner... about it.

Where can I get some of this weed
CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

Said weed can be purchased between the hours of 8:30am to 4:30pm Mon-Fri.
Delays are to be expected, with pickup preffered due to such reasons.
For full details on where to take collection please see the link below.
