my first post in this erea lol..jumped from the pc games arena and why i am here..
well... i have chance to buy wii in half price +- and the only thing that atract me is that sport and boxing games that gives you some cardiac work..(saw some videos at you tube of guys fighting in front of the tv and it looks cool.)
now my question is, if you really make your heart rate faster with this game and not only the boxing..also othere sport games and the fit games?
also , what do i need to play this boxing games ? (i am getting basic consloe) do i need to buy any extra stuff to make it work?
thanks in advance.
Any exercise makes your heart rate increase ... the Wii just happens to give you a lot of exercise and exertion due to the fact that you're often leaping around the room like a moron
I remember playing Wii boxing with my bro and both of us were knackered after a while, hehe.
As for what you'll need? Nothing extra. You get the Wiimote and Nunchuck standard in the pack, but you'll need a SECOND wiimote and SECOND nunchuck for multiplayer (obviously..)
wii fit is a pos, overpriced and boring. but the standard wii sports package will last you for ages in multiplayer, plus there's other boxing/tennis/etc games or games like disaster doc...holy fuck, that was the most exhausting singleplayer game ever made
oh and if you're buying extra controllers, 2 little tips: don't buy the wiimote alone, instead go for the wii play bundle (costs as much as a wiimote alone iirc), keep the 'mote and sell the gameon ebay (it's shit anyway, but i've got 15€ for it o_0). and don't buy a wired nunchuk, get the nyko wireless one (yes it needs batteries and you need to clip a small receiver on the wiimote, but trust me, you're going to hate that fucking cable)
i heard that this chips may hurt the wii and will make it die faster than wii without chip or kill the reading eye faster because of burned cd's (eye works harder to read burned cd's).
is it true?
my machine originaly will be pal and if i understand well. the chip will give me the ability to play ntsc cd's as well? and what about firmware? can i update firmware alone? or i have to go to consoles lab or what ever?
or let me ask it like that:
apart to the chip installation, do i need to go to the lab for othere installations or i can do the othere stuff alone?
my last console was playstation 1 and it was long time ago..i think 9 years ago, so..things changed since this days..btw i had chip for the playstaion and i played alot and never had problem ..i sold it working and kicking.
You don't need a chip to play backups, there is also softmii (just google it). But I'd still recommend a chip, because the softmod doesn't allow full drive speed until now, maybe they will fix it.
There are always people saying that burned games can damage the laser or something like that, you won't get a clear answer for this, but I say it's all bullshit. Use good media (=Verbatim) and you'll be fine.
About the FW: You should be careful not to upgrade to the latest firmware, as it closes some backdoors for hacks, but there is a way to downgrade (haven't done it myself though).
You can delete the update from the discs with WizzleShizzleDizzle, most games don't need the newest firmware installed to run.
With GeckoOS you can play games from any region without problems, and most games run without it as well. Just don't install updates from a different region, it might brick your Wii!!!

^^ what bringiton said...install the homebrew channel and backup loaders, hope the wii you are going to buy hasn't got the latest firmware. if it all works out, no need for a chip.

lol..my country is country of combinations and there is a big chance that the console will come with old firmwarere so..i think i will be fine.
anyway tomorrow i will bring the console home finaly and i will check the info and will start set it up with the softwarere you recomanded me of.
btw..the deal is: wii for 214us$ insted of 380us$ (full price). so more or less half price..thats why i went for it:)
My Wii had the latest firmware, it was very easy to downgrade to the earlier firmware required for the homebrew.
There are lots of tutorials if you google, i downgraded firmware and installed the homebrew channel via the twilight hack and had backups running within an hour..
just make sure you follow the instructions exacltly and you will have no problems.
the only downside as previously mentioned is that the dvd reads at x3 and not x6, this causes stuttering on some games in the cinematic scenes, no big problem but it can get anoying esp with stuttering sound.
one thing i had a problem with was the dvd's i used for burning, they recommend using Verbatim DVD -R and this was the only media that worked for me.
I installed a Wii2key today though, much better now that the dvd is up to speed, and for only £35 delivery you can't go wrong
finaly the wii is here and this sports games simple but it's alot of fun
now..i have problem:
i am trying to burn iso image of a game and i tried with nero and with imgburn and tried dvdr- and dvdr+ and the burning procces looks ok and no error, but when the procces finished, i am getting empty dvd..no files on the media...wtf? and i have 2 burners 1 lg and second is samsung
and both of them are new and giving me the same shit..is there a special way to burn wii images?
never looked at my burned wii dvds in the explorer before, so i just checked it for the sake of proof. shows up as an empty CD, but plays just fine in the wii. why? seriously, i couldn't care less as long as it works - and so should you.
Wii discs dont show up in a pC. Wii discs format is not readable in a PC. Try it in WII to test only. I have to burn my games on 4x using nero orelse they skip..
damn..i am stupid as hell...well..i told ya i am ultra noob to this..i am sorry lol
now anothere issue..i can't see the burned cd's in the wii but i guess that i am using usa (ntsc games while my wii is pal so here is the problem:
if wii without chip, can't read burned cd's, how can i run the well known zelda (th) game that makes the magics and make it possible to installs all the goodies? do i need original pal zelda to do so? or i can do it with ntsc and none original?
well that's the catch 22 of the situation, you need an original pal zelda to install the homebrew channel
and don't forget that the wii is region locked...though you can circumvent that with things like freeloader or gecko OS, but you don't really need them except for a few games...almost everyone is available on PAL, so no need to get NTSC versions

well...this is a problem...i can find copies, but originals....will be problem. so maybe a chip will be easyer to do

can't you just rent it? or buy one used and sell it when you're done

Gecko OS - What good games should I get that are PAL only. I have NTSC machine.
So far, Im getting Disaster..Any other recommendations for Gecko?
there aren't really any noteworthy games besides disaster that are PAL only
i am not very sure that i will find it for rent..i can try blockbuster..maybe they have it..will check tomorrow.
edit:
just checked the BB site and now WII stuff there...i think i will go for the chip after all..this way i will gain the max spin speed for the dvd's.
now..i would like to know about games since 2007 lol..after all, maybe i missed goodies;)
i am looking for the best looking games for the wii (no need to recomand me stuff that came to pc and wii) only goodies who came out only for the wii and othere consoles or just for the wii.
Disaster: Day of Crisis looks good to me while watching trailers..also zombie shooters looks good like dead rising, what do you guys enjoy best? what are the best wii games? (maybe thats the right way to ask it.
If you have at least two controllers and friends to play with, get Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party. That game is pure insanity, we play it all the time it's just great. One of the best party games there is IMO.
Also make sure to get Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles if you like light-gun shooters.
