Upgrading via Dvd? First off kudos for using the dvd drive for something other than wii games. Now it just needs to be able to read non game dvd such as movie dvds or dvd's burned with avi, h264, mp4 and etc.

Also, I know I don't want to burn a dvd everytime I want to upgrade my firmware for the chip. Isn't there another alternative such as using the sd card or somehow using the usb ports to use a flash drive.

Til then, no mod chip for me.]]>Feb 2nd 2007 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/Feb 2nd 2007 8:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/
i just got 100 for $7]]>Apr 4th 2007 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/
It's the utter waste of space for a 2-4mb update.. if you can do with a cd sure, but still there is still alot of room on it.

That's like throwing away a stack of paper just for that one piece of paper...

It's more sensible to use some re-writable media. I don't think a hyperbolic blockhead would understand. Just to use something and not throw it away once it's primary objective has been met...]]>Feb 2nd 2007 8:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/Feb 2nd 2007 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/

Its like saying I would rather prefer Purified water over Tap water.

What my point was to get across is I would careless about the dvd. Was the homebrew.

What made peopel go apeshit was me mentioning it would be more practical or innovating to update via usb or sd [b]ALSO[/B].]]>Feb 3rd 2007 1:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/
personally i want to play my *cough cough* home brew ROMz on virtual console.]]>Feb 5th 2007 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/This means that the link from the mod chip to the DVD drive would still be intact, and you would be able to perform a DVD upgrade to hopefully get around the system update.

At least, that's how it would make sense to me.]]>Feb 15th 2007 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/Feb 3rd 2007 2:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/Feb 3rd 2007 3:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/
In my og post. I just mentioned as COMMENT this thing needs alternates routes doesn't have to require it. It wouldn't pain me to burn them, it would be more "sensible." I didn't know this would create a backlash of anal retortive crazies.

Now, I look like a prick because of losers didn't get me. This is still a great product, better on paper than the two other modchips. Just really needs homebrew. Oh I know you'll think, "Gosh, he is flipping his argument, oh golly, what we'll we have to do? Cry and Relliate?" No No, homebrew might also make a gateway to using alternatives.
"God I'm an ass. I love it."]]>Feb 3rd 2007 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/Feb 4th 2007 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/Feb 3rd 2007 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/wiikey-upgradeable-modchip-offers-more-for-modders/
How about an upgrade DVD that contains software that can read the SD slot, ie. DVD/SD combination. That way, the upgrade DVD can be burned once, then used in conjunction with a SD card whenever you want to reflash the modchip. Ofcourse this would be reliant on getting Wii homebrew running... ]]>Mar 7th 2007 6:02PM
