Wii for sale
Not Amiga but runs UAE nicely
 The Wii's DVD drive does not read discs. I never tried to fix it and played all my games via USB. You can replace or repair the drive but its probably better just to use an external USB drive. The Wii is softmodded and will play all your legit backup ISOs from any USB mass storage. Comes with all cables, 2 wiimotes and 1 nunchuck. I really only ever used it for emulation and playing virtual console games but I havn't touched it in about 6 months. PM me an offer. I don't really know what this lot is worth.

 . You will find its running on Frameskip 2, I defaulted it to this, to make stuff payble.As first release was very slow as it had FS hardcoded to 0. Anyways, playing amiga games on the Wii is a hole different experience all together. Enabling "wii wheel function" is great fun, using wii remote as a steering wheel is quite nuts on lotus, .

I'm withdrawing the Wii from sale as it really isn't worth much and it appears to be having problems with the controllers. The Wii struggles to recognize them and they lose connection a lot. I think it is best I keep it for now given its condition, problems and lack of worth. Thanks. |

Hey Smiley,
What firmware are you on? My Wii drive gave up about 3mths ago, I'm not too bothered because, like you, I use a USb drive. Regarding the Wiimotes, mine tend to loose connection with homebrew alot, sometimes I've re-installed HBC or re flashed the Nand with a back up to cure it. Could also be battery's or bluetooth board, but who knows with a Homebrew Wii? I have seen replacement DVD Drives on fleebay, but I'm not sure if they seem genuine. Can anyone confirm this? |

Nintendo can tell if you have installed any mod on your Wii. If you send it to them modded then they will charge you for it.
But as FOL said it's rare to brick a Wii if you use common sense. |

@ElectroBlaster
Search ebay for a Wii with a faulty drive. You can probably get one for around £50. You could replace the drive but there is really no need if you are going to mod it. The Wii is very simple to mod. I can't quite remeber how I did mine but it just involved putting a few files on an SD card and running them. You can even play games of a HDD online if you want. Modded Wiis are a great little thing to have around for classic gaming since they are so small. |

My first Wii i soft-modded and then found out it had a faulty dvd drive so i deleted the Homebrew Channel and returned to Gamestation under warranty. My contract of purchase is with them so thats where i return it and never had a problem. But its always your choice and i can't guarantee it will work. |
