^Seeing how this is on every character social thread, not even movie thread, it is just spam.

ToC I don't think thats good advice but w/e.
Pretty sure update 4.3E will kill the wii if it's got any homebrew.

@Other Jiggs Avatar Person:
Someone should show you how to use homebrew to get SSB64, you're doing yourself a disservice not to utilise Homebrews wonders. I think you'll need a portable hard drive though, got one?

That's crazy yep. Unless your update was before Update 4.3E, I can't say I really understand why your wii isn't bricked.

I did the update after hacking mine for infinite replay, but I deleted homebrew before I updated coz I didnt really want it. Now I want it coz my disc drive is broken =___=

Im sure you could do something to get stuff off Wii Shop, but since you have homebrew... get everything for free!

I dont actually know how to this you see but my friend says:

"download a .wad file (using the wad manager)
which contains the SSB64 virtual console rom
and use wad installer to install it
then just play from wii menu
or you can launch from gecko, which lets you use GC controller and launch games not in your region"

It's pretty much doomed, because the new way to instal homebrew for 4.3 is to use bugs in game which require to have a disc drive... Howdy.

VA baby whe' you at
Homebrew basically allows you to run things on your Wii you normally couldn't before, i.e. the Homebrew Channel, a channel that you normally wouldn't be able to use/run on your Wii otherwise.

With the Homebrew channel, you can do a variety of things which involve playing games/using applications people have specifically, emulators which can run games, or Gecko, a popular program used not only to run isos, but to also run cheat codes for games i.e. texture hacks/music/codesets for brawl.

I really appreciate you taking the time to answer that question. Seems unique. I might look into it sometime.

Yeah I know, with Lego Indiana Jones or Yugioh lol.
Pretty much the worst situation possible? It sure is. I actually need to buy a new Wii altogether (well ill probs buy a second hand one lol!) unless some repair shop can repair it.

My wii's motor burnt out and i sent it to Nintendo for repairs. Since then I unplug it when I don't play for a while; it got very hot.
That's why I haven't hacked my wii, they wouldn't have repaired it. For any wii unplugging it when not in use is a good idea.

...But I don't have the infinite replay hack and can only record cr***y 3 min replays :( . I'll post them in the video thread.

Yeah, maybe you can try to bring it to repair it. It might cost somehow less than buying a new one. Hopefully for you.

Got back from WGF. Fun stuff, and making it out of pools in Melee was icing on the cake. Met Oki and Zekey and showed them some of my G&W tricks. I also got to play Bardull's Marth in a friendly, and it was pretty close and fun stuff. I'd talk more but I'm hella burnt out and behind on work lol.

And shoutout to Old Man Grey. Post more in these boards!

So I just started playing Brawl again today, representing with Cyan/Red G&W.

I managed to beat Jungle once or twice!

God I love his 2D antics.

Yeah I hate it when repairing something costs more then getting a new one, thats just annoying. I'll probably end up with a new tbh *sigh*

^ Cost me $80.00 (American) but my data was saved and motors cost a lot.
My Datas all saved on SD card, ain't gonna lose nothing if I get a new one :)

Does this also allow unlimited or possibly getting a good time amount for saying replays? If so I would need some info on how to obtain this. This is my main focus because it would save the hassle on recording with there being lag on online matches.

@ Today,
I'd like to wifi too. Anyone who wants to wifi is always free to leave a visitor message. I should check out the G&W Xat chat. Can someone give a quick link?

^poor Blue team. That's the first time I've seen 4 G&Ws in doubles.

I don't have skype/facebook etc because it draws me in when I should be doing other things :/
