This is nice. What is the compatitibility list? I have 82 wii games, would I be able to play all of them on an external hard drive. What hard drives work best? Can a 1.5TB one work, and would that hold 82 wii games.
@MCRTheEnd i found out that you only need to plug in one if you have an external hard drive that uses an AC adapter. if it doesn't, plug in both of the usb cables since it won't get enough power if you don't.
@atnipjoe Because soft modding can't USB load GCN games and if I both soft mod and use the WODE I can get all the nice looking homebrew plus the added WODE functionality. Additionally, you may set up the WodeFlow application that is a version of WiiFlow built specifically for the WODE that supports Gamecube games.
I did the install, but when i pressed power the blue light would flicker and go out. Then I opened up the wii and checked all connections: now when i power on all i hear is a repeated, very soft and rhythmic clicking sound. what have i done wrong???
Will this, in theory, work with any version of the Wii that is currently out now? I realized newer drives won't have the capability to read backups, but you can still use external hard drives correct?
I installed the Wode, and I can't load any games from my HDD. I always get Error has occured. "Press Eject, message all the time." Flat Mode works with all my original games. I'm on 4.2U, tried HBC, which came back to the same error and Gecko gets stuck on Launch game when I try. :( I updated and downgraded to 1.28 and 2.1A and both dont work. Ripping on 2.1A was working. My HDD is NTFS.
First I would try and re-format your HDD, to NTFS like before. If you have a Wode with the single USB power cable, try and plug the drive into a USB hub and then into the Wode. Take one of your original games that is working fine in FlatMode and use the rip feature on the wode to make a backup of it to your HDD, then try and launch that title. If that does not work, try another hard drive as well just to see.
theres no use for this . u could just use usb loading on the wii . the only thing this has on usb loading is that u cant play gc games and only a hand full of bad games dont work on it .
hi, im running of firmware 3.4e it wont play usa games at the mo. any idea how i can update my firmware to 4.1. i do have new supermario on disc just wanna make sure i dont update to 4.2 or higher when i update my firmware. so if there is something to download so i can update my wii to 4.1 thats what im after thanks.
Yeah update to 4.1 firmware, if you have an original of the New Super Mario Bros from your consoles region, it will update the console to 4.1 for you.
thanks, i updated to 4.1e of new super mario bros. still have black screen thing going on with all Super Mario Galaxy 2 after you press start screen goes to black? and also won't load up customs games like mario kart and new super mario.
Mario Galaxy 2 might need 4.2 update to run, but it's not worth updating to 4.2 if you want to keep all region function, if you don't care about all region support you could try and update the 4.2 firmware using the manual online update feature in the Wii. Mario Kart and NSMB should be working, maybe check your ISO's are ok and that you have the Wode set to your consoles correct region.
@satz2000 thats because u have an outdated version of ios56, its possible to install it without updating to 4.2 check out: wiihacksDOTcom/wii-games/59089-guide-super-mario-galaxy-2-a.html
Yes the Wode will still work, but you wont be able to play games from other regions from HDD, you can play games from other regions from disc if you install GeckoOS and load them from inside GeckoOS
@stijnkessel Im using a 2,5" USB-powered HDD (LaCie Little Disk). It works great. But you can use a cheaper USB flash drive too. The slower the transfer speed is, the longer it will take for the game to load. But it won't affect the gameplay!(such as lag etc.)
@welder1977 Try and format your SD card, make it FAT32 file system, if that does not work try a different SD card, we have seen some of the older 256mb for example cards not work, grab something new like a 2GB and see how that goes
@kryptonite747 Thats exacly what I'm wondering: can u play/load the wiiware and vc games the same way u do with the regular wii games (like from u external hard drive)?
it can ;) its a linux running in the wode. you just need a filesystem that supports 2tb (NTFS or EXT3), but you could still partition your drive, so you would have like a 200GB partition.
Great video! I accidentally gave it a 2 star rating, but it deserves a 5 star rating. I was trying to add to my Favorites list and somehow clicked on the stars.
