K got a WII for christmas
 

Let me know what I've gotten myself into. Good system, and the like.

What should I be getting for it.

Twilight Princess
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Brothers
Mario Kart Wii
Mega Man 9 download from WiiWare

An SD card so you can homebrew it and play all your roms and emulators on it.

Fuck you

No More Heroes

Ok, I got a wii for the family for christmas, and a 4gb sd. How do I put emulators on to it? Is there a method? Or just drop them on to the card? Fill me in on this, I'd be interested.

Tell me it wasn't the "Wii" brand card that cost like $4325. I ordered one yesterday for $6 shipped.


As far as games go, everything that AssMan said. :y:

Did they give you the receipt with it? Take it back and get something else with the money.

Any games nintendo cranked out themselves are the ones to get. Red Steel is alright. It's worth a rent.

K so how do I get WII points.

Same way you get Live points.

Geometry Wars
Twilight Princess
Super Mario Galaxy
No More Heroes
Metroid Prime 3
Boom Blox - great multiplayer game
Wario Land: Shake It - Rent it

Homebrew:

Step 1: Turn on the Wii. Put the SD card in the Wii, too.
Step 2: Press A on the Wii Button on the bottom right, then Data Management, then Save Data, then Wii. Look for the Zelda Twilight Princess Save file and copy it over to the SD card. Turn off the Wii after copying the file over.
Step 3: Take the SD Card out of the Wii, and put it in the computer.
Step 4: Click on Start, then My Computer, then the Removable Disk with the SD Card.
Step 5: Go to private, then Wii, then title, and copy the RZDE folder over to your Desktop. (Or somewhere you can remember that that's the REAL save file. Don't mess around with this, or your Zelda save file is GONE.)
Step 6: Un-Zip the Zip file I'm providing, and place Boot.elf, the apps folder... everything in the .zip in the Removable Disk. (In the same folder private is in. Replace private with the new folder private, too.) You can get the .zip here (http://www.mediafire.com/?htjzbdnmx0e). (Note: Be patient when downloading and copying the files. This is a HUGE amount of memory.)
Step 7: When the transfer is done, go to the private folder, then Wii, then title, and rename the TwilightHack folder to RZDE. Take out the SD Card and put it in the Wii when you’re done.
Step 8: Go to the Wii Button, then Data Management, and then Save Data, then Wii. Click on the SD Card tab and copy "Twilight Hack" over to the Wii.
Step 9: Turn the data in the game disk over to the data side (the side without the print) and look at the inner rim of the disk. It should say something like RVL-RZDE-0A-x. If the disk says 0 where the x is, then start up the Zelda game, and load up file 1. If the disk says 2 where the x is, start up the 2nd file. DO NOT LOAD UP THE OTHER SAVEFILE, BECAUSE IF YOU DO, YOUR WII WILL FREEZE! THIS IS FOR THE OTHER VERSION OF TWILIGHT PRINCESS!!
Step 10: As soon as the game starts, walk up to the man in front of you. A black screen with text should pop up.
Step 11: Ignore what it says. It's just a buncha warnings. Just keep hitting 1 on your Wii remote until the Wii resets itself.
Step 12: You have the Homebrew Channel! The only way it'll work is if you have the SD Card in the Wii. (It has to be THAT specific SD Card. If not, it won't work.)

Then if your Wii is online use the Homebrew browser to download new apps. The homebrew browser that comes in that .zip might be dated, so I reccomened using the WiiBrew SD Loader to get the newest one. Just put the SD card in the computer and load up WiiBrew and follow the steps.

Then just download your ROMs into the specific folders for each application.
