Back Up Games Without Using Modchip

Filed under News

Until now, Wii users needed to install a modchip in order to play backup games.

Now, coders have access to make their own custom Wii code by accessing the Wii core via a gamesave hack called the Twilight hack. This resulted in a custom made channel called The Homebrew Channel that lets you run homebrew software.

One of these softwares are the Wii Backup-Loader which allows you to load backup .iso images without having a modchip installed.

It’s still a bit of a process you need to go through in order to make this happen.

What you need in order to run this Wii softmod:

Computer With SD Card reader and DVD-R Burner
DVD-Rs (Verbatim or similiar quality discs)
ImgBurn - Image burning software
SD Card
Zelda: The Twilight Princess Original Game Disc
The Twilight Gamesave Hack
Homebrew Channel Installation Package
CIOS36 Homebrew Application
Backup Loader Homebrew Application

_

To read the instructions on how to do, you can check out Instructables: Run Backups on any Wii Without a Modchip.

There’s also a Homebrew installation helper included as a bonus in The Ultimate Wii Guide for those that like an easy installation.

_

NOTE: This should only be used for backup copies of games that you own which is perfectly legal. Do not dowload pirated games since its ILLEGAL! We are not responisble for any illegal actions and hold no liability.

You can keep paying her to show you other locations, but she will sometimes repeat the same location a few times over.

3. Worms for fishing

If you go into the fishing hole behind the sign at the very entrance there will 3 little mounds of dirt.

Turn into the wolf and dig these up, earth worms will appear, scoop them up in an empty bottle and use them as bait for your fishing hook to make fishing extra easy!

You need to be able to get to the City in the Sky. At whenever time you go there, when you come back, it will always be daytime.

Distract the final boss’s final form with the fishing pole

Skate It

Filed under News

Skate It is on Wii. The best feature of this game is the unique control but unfortunately the performance is not as expected. The graphic is nice but if you are playing multiplayers mode, it can be a painful experience.

Just about a year ago, EA released Skate on PS3 and Xbox and this year Wii gets its fair share.

“The story in Skate It is your typical rags-to-riches sports story; it’s forgettable, but it gets the job done filling in the gaps between Skate and its sequel”

Overall, you will find a good excuse to spend more time playing on your wii if you can tolerate with the minor disappointments.

The goal of the game is to win the challenges, garner the most sponsors and of course in the end win the skater of the year.

If you are playing the career mode, you will find yourself busy for the next few hours but actually it is rather easy to advance to the next level making it rather mundane.

There isn’t much open space for you to explore though. Not all of your challenges take place in the remnants of San Vanelona; there are a number of European venues as well. There is even Shanghai and Barcelona included in the game to add more flavour to the game.

If you are very much interested in skateboarding, this is the game for despite that some of you might hate it for its disappointments.
