There's already 92,302,209 game news blogging sites, and 92,302,208 get all their information from each other. We'll have a blog on ErickAndEmily (hosted on our own very capable server via Wordpress), but it'll be more about things that are happening to us personally that also have to do with the site, or will contain extra videos or something. Each of the reviews will also have an RSS feed soon, too, which will allow trackbacks and whatnot.

As for other reviewers, they need to be able to physically show up here, as we're expanding our video reviews and also for regular video capturing. However, we'll have a 'reader rating' thing in the future too, where people can give games their own star rating.

[Microshock]

you have video reviews!?!??!?! well unless you live in somewhere in new york city....i cant physically show up here.

eh wahtever...

I have a question about the wii's disk slot. Do these kinds of slots tend to break down fairly easily? It seems to me that they might, given all the moving parts that are obviously involved. That's why I prefer top-loaders like the Gamecube, but I guess that's just not cool enough for the future the hardware companies think we're living in. :/

[Microshock]

i guess it has a tendency to break because if the machine isnt working...then youre disc is stuck

and i agree..i like the gamecubes click open slot..cuz even if its not working...then you can take it out

but if nothing is wrong with your wii..then nothing will happen and if it does..send it back to nintendo. there customer service rocks!!! i swear...i asked for a free wrist strap for the ds and they gave me one because im a long time nintendo fan.

and they sent it thru friking ups in a package! i found my other ds strap a week later

[Ant10708]

ds strap?

[Guitar Woman]

This thread made me put microcock on ignore

Anyone else wanna CROSS THE LINE

[Microshock]

what'd i do? and ant...you dont know what a ds strap is? the one with the thumb stylus on it.

[Ant10708]

never heard of it

[Microshock]

then you never had a ds...or you only had a ds lite.

[Ant10708]

second option

[Fathom Zero]

I wanna scare people by playing ROMs on the Wii.

That'd be awesome.

Now all I need is a Wii and I'm set.
Does anyone know the availability of these things?

[DuFresne]

Are you serious?

It depends on where you live whether Wiis are rare or nonexistant. I live in a definite camp-outside-the-store area.

I live in Lawton, Oklahoma, a camp outside the store area.

And I'm completely serious. All you need is an SD card, a Gamecube SD Card Reader, and the Gamecube Action Replay, besides the Wii of course.

[DistantJ]

How do you go aobut doing that then, Fathom Zero?

[DuFresne]

Can the Classic Controller be used for Gamecube games? I ask because I want to avoid getting a Gamecube controller if at all possible.

[GADZOOKS]

No, and it's goddamn stupid.

[Microshock]

why do u wanna avoid getting an awesome gamecube controller! its compatible with everything on the virtual console.

the wavebird batteries last forever...u dont have to tuck the wiimote in yo pocket or keep it on your lap.

its a better deal for 20 bucks

[DuFresne]

I'm concerned about the teensy tiny little D-pad. The Classic controller looks, overall, to be the superior controller, and I will certainly buy it for at least VC games. If I MUST get a GC controller for GC games, I'm sure I'll cheap out and go 3rd party.

You think you can prove me wrong, but you can't.

There's a code that can execute arbitrary code through the Gamecube Action Replay. You get a Gamecube memory card that is modified to take SD cards, not unlike the ones used for the Wii. In fact, you can use the ones made for the Wii.

There's a program called SD Load. It creates a binary file that makes everything work.

1) Download: http://wii-news.dcemu.co.uk/sdload.zip

2) Format the SD card into a FAT or FAT16 format.

3) Inside the .zip file is the SDLOADER binary, among other things. Move that over to the root of your SD card.

4) Grab all of the homebrew/emulators and stick them anywhere you want.
They can be in their own directories as long as SDLOADER.bin remains in the root.

5) Take out the SD Card, put it in the special GC Memory Card.

6) Run the Action Replay.

7) Click ADD NEW GAME. SDLOAD is the game name. Enter "(m)" as the code name, without the quotes.

8) Enter the following code:

7YPR-RKZZ-MH6W5
D26A-PE4J-1XX2W
ZJHY-B1ZH-6P00G

9) Select ADD NEW CODE and name it SDLOAD. Input the following code:

AF4H-JPF5-H1B5J
MVAB-7TQE-ABZPB
V2CK-QQ1A-Y6P72
M5N6-CMMH-9EURT
0JFM-3A6C-VZ6VK

DUMT-15KR-DXJ8K
JV55-6VF5-2Z02T
D4R8-MVJ5-QGR21
1G3C-APD7-1CUVD

10) Select the code named SDLOAD, check the box next to it, press start, and open and close the disc drive when prompted. SDLOAD starts and WHAM. You have exploited the Gamecube half of the Wii.

I call it a trick because it isn't actually utilizing any exploits in the Wii. It's just running Action Replay from the Gamecube. You can use the same process, I believe, on the Gamecube as on the Wii.

There are SNES, Genesis, MAME, NES, PC Engine, GBC, Dotriem, Chip8, and GBA emulators, as well as ports of Doom and Tetris among other goodies.

I don't know if there's any Wii specific homebrew that works with the Wiimote's abilities, but I think you can use the Wiimote instead of the Gamecube controller with the programs. Don't quote me on that.

Take that, ass.

[Fathom Zero]

By the way, here's a neeto app that lets one stream video, music, and pictures to the Wii via WiFi.
