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

I have been thinking of getting one, but I think I have upgraded my Wii too far :(

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.

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.
