Wii Questions - 4.2e

[jamesjea]

Hey guys,

Just got a Wii it is on 4.2e.

If i follow the soft mod guide shown here; click

Will i be able to download Wii iso files and burn them to a DVD-R and play then straight on the Wii without an external HDD Purchase?

Also, if that is true, is there a guide on how to back up/burn Wii games?

Thanks folks.

check your serial number here Wii Drive Chip Database to see what drive you have.
the tut your going to use is the same as the one here http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...w-guide-67927/ except hes added videos.

Hello,

I will check my serial in next 30 mins but thanks in advance, i will check the tutorial out.

Also, once sorted, will i require a USB HDD or can i burn the games to disc some how (is there a guide?) and do it that way, as i have millions of blanks lying around!

Thanks a bunch

Serial number: LEH176413086
The Wii has a RVL-001(EUR) model number and is produced for the European market. The copyright year is 2006.


There is a 100% chance the chipset is GC2-D2C (v1).

That is serial

Hey,

Thanks!

So i can go ahead and do this: Wii 4.2E Load Backup Games from USB HDD | Rob Mulally

and then it will be ready for me to play a game i will be putting onto disc as soon as it is downloaded?

As simple as putting the disc in and playing?

Thanks, sorry i am so new!

edit:

First, make sure that before following this tutorial that you have a modchip installed. If you do not: "This Will Not Work"

ah! - that means i need an external HDD right? I thought i would have been able to play from discs

(Burning Your Game Backups)
