WatchTower said:Maybe Nintendo should have stayed cartridge based. 4Gb flash memory as been out for a while which is more than enough to fit Wii games on.
And it's easy enough to get blank mini-DVDs.JaFFa said:well I dont think the tiny dvd thing was the problem as you could fit a bigger case to make it take big discs.

Lol, so it really does go all the way back to the dawn of multigame consoles then.Ben said:Oh it did, and I hope I'm not the only one to have seen it first hand (friends that we bought a 2600 off of had one), it was a 2600 cart with a bit for clipping a chip to the front with a game (or games I can't remember entirely - I was still a kid at the time) on it. It may have been a multi-game cart kind of thing, but with handwritten labels I doubt it
WatchTower said:So there's a WiiNinja mod chip for the Wii to play copied games.
(Please no info on how this is done. As this thead will then have to be removed)
Up until the GBA it's been very rare as far as people modding a Nintendo consoles to play copied games. I'm not saying it never happened just that it was rare. When Playstation came out modding a console to play copied games appeared to go to an all time high. It seems that this is rubbing off and more and more people are modding Nintendo consoles even the Wii now.
I believe a lot of true Nintendo fans had to much love for their console to mod it and were willing to pay for their games but now it seems Playstation culture is rubbing off and people are modding Nintendo consoles which I think is sacrilege.
Dam it

Ben said:Not sure I see what your point is? Since there are emulators out there for the PS2 and GC. (GC Emulation is still very slow, but PS2 is getting there).

The only way to play pirated GC games IIRC was to use the network adaptor and phantasy star online.

I dont actually know where this thread is going anymore, it seems to have lost its plot.
