djdiggla Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I did it last night and it really was pretty easy. Now my Wii plays DVDs, homebrews, all media formats, backup games and has an emulator for just about every system. I already had roms for some systems from doing my xbox a year or two ago but gonna get some more for the systems I didn't have emus for on xbox. The way I did it is in preparation for backing up all my games to a USB harddrive. I found a 120GB for $39 at Iomega. Here is the guide I followed:http://lifehacker.com/5280957/load-your-wii-games-from-a-hard-disk-part-ii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x2k Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Mowgli wtf! Where the fuck did u re-appear from? You been hiding away somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 I don't know much about partitioning externals..It opens up the DVD drive but I personally plan on just using that for burned games... not DVDs. Reason being, I assume the drive is not sturdy enough to play DVDs (spinning constantly) and that is why they locked it. Just my assumption--I burned up my PS2 playing DVDs.
