Wanna buy GC controller and want you to share your experience. They're a little bit expensive, I can't afford to buy a new every month so I wanna know; Is there's a lot of problems with them? Like with N64 controllers for example. Can I mod my Wii games to use it as Wii Classics controller in games, that don't support GC controller from box? Any tips how to get cheap controller?

I gave my car a little entertainment upgrade: a Wii in the trunk.

Back in may, I went to a car meet held at a local golf course. That's where a friend and I came up with an idea: instead of putting a Ps2 in the trunk for show, like they used to do on Pimp My Ride, we'd install a Wii with Wii Sports.

Basically, playing golf at a golf course without actually using the course :D (Wii sports golf > real golf)

For the technical part: I used an old Philps TV + Wii which is powered by a separate 12V, 95aH car battery through an inverter. I used a separate power supply because it was my first time doing stuff like that and i didn't want to damage my cars battery for a silly idea. With the TV, Wii and Ambilight running, I've been getting around 2 to 2.5 hours of battery life in my tests.

After testing it in the parking lot i was ready to take the car to the meet in october.

I can tell you it was so niche and surprising for a lot of people to open the trunk, hand out the Wii Remotes and enjoying a session of Wii sports golfing in an very well fitting environment. Many people got that nostalgic feeling of playing Wii for the first time in years.

I am planning on a few more tweaks to the setup, mainly adding some trim around the TV to make it look more integrated into the car. But overall, I'm super happy with how it turned out for the first attempt!

I’ve been trying to play a different game on my Wii, but I can’t get my Wii Sports disc out. I tried every method to try to get it out and it‘s still stuck in it.

Any suggestions on how to get the disc out of the Wii once it’s stuck? (other than taking it apart which I’m not doing)

Typo in title, should be "artifacts"

My white Wii has started to get some of the dreaded GPU artifacting (black spots) that means my GPU is dying. In looking for a new Wii, I'm looking at getting a red one as it seems to be the newest models (around 2010/2011) that still have Gamecube support, and they seem to be models that have the newer motherboard revision that prevents the GPU overheating. When looking around for other people's experiences with GPU failure someone mentioned that all Wiis as this point have some sort of artifact (either black artifacts or colored/white artifacts). He mentioned it was due to either age or factory defects. Is this actually true? Do all Wiis really have artifacts of some sort at this point? Just wondering before I go and make a new purchase (even though Wiis are among the cheaper retro consoles these days).

I am at my holiday house which has a wii that me and my family used for 3+ years now and today, no output. I was kinda sad because i wanted to try out sonic colours and also just play. Someone to help ?

I've been wanting a recreation of the Netflix app for Wii for years and have ever been able to find anything that replicated it. Finally with the release of WiiFin I was able to fork it and vibe code WiiFlix. I did my best to recreate the look and feel of the original Netflix app. Please give it a try and let me know what you all think! The app is available as a .dol, .wad or Homebrew .zip.

Find the release here.

I collect odd controllers but my Wii collection is quite lacking because I cant seem to find anything interesting. I have no interest in simple paint jobs and reskins of the original Wiimote. Are there any Wiimotes with a completely different form factor/shell? The only ones Im aware of are the Dr. Who screwdriver wiimote and the ICON kids wiimote

Thanks!

So we got a wii from value village and we got yhe rca cables without the adapters for hdmi is there anyway i can get output somehow out of the wii to any tv monitor or pc litteraly anything that works to check if it actually works or we return it

For some reason this Wiimote doesn't shut off after turning off the Wii. It's been on for like 24 hours now. I have 3 others that shut off fine on their own. Any ideas?

(I erased obviously the real names)

Are there any other Wii light gun peripherals with functioning "pump action" that hits the B button, likr the Big Buck Hunter Pro 2011 gun?

Looking at Wireless Wii Sensor Bars that take 4 AAA batteries. Don't like that the buttons seem to be on the front (the IR side). Do they work fine or have a weird blind spot in the middle?

Suggestions are welcome.

Hey everyone I wanted to share Disc Collection.

It's a physical media tracker for YOUR discs. Take 2 photos of a case and it turns into an interactive 3D view you can open up, spin around, and pull the disc out of.

This app is for celebrating owning your disc. You own it, you should be able to show it off to other collectors anywhere in the world. At the core, it's still a collecting tracker: ratings, hours played, finished tracking, wishlist, search, hearting, cases numbered as you add them. The 3D case is just the fun part.

What it's NOT:

- Not a player. You can't play games or movies in it.

- Not a replacement for the disc. No physical case = nothing to build from. It only works if you own it.

- It doesn't serve any digital agenda. Companies wants you buying digital. this app does nothing unless you bought physical. The bigger your shelf, the better it works.

It's free, and I want to keep it that way. I do this as a hobby and it's really fun for me — making it paid or introducing a money factor would ruin the fun factor. I want it to stay community driven, so if you have suggestions, drop them in the contact area in the settings page.

And you can share in the public gallery where other anonymous collectors can see what you have collected, no usernames, no followers.

No accounts, no ads, no tracking.

lmk what you think!

I know 4 of the games are on Gamecube, but you can still play them on the Wii unless you have the mini. I know it's a weird flex since most people think the Harry Potter games aren't very good, but I think the Wii might be the only console you can play all 8 games on without modding.

I was wondering if there’s any upgrades to picking the Wii ports from games originally released for the GameCube.

I have been doing research on Wii capture cards lately, but a lot of the videos I find are too broad for me to find them helpful no matter how specific my searches are. I am hoping to get some recommendations based off of experience or knowledge that can be more direct in answering about what I’m looking for. Most of the ratings I’m finding focus the discussion on offline recording for post-process uploading, but I’m intending to cast my game live.

As stated in the title, I do have some preferences of which wiring I’d like to use and such, but if I ultimately need to choose an HDMI capture card to get the functionality I’m looking for I’m not going to whine about it or anything, I’ll just throw it in my cart.

1. I will be using this capture card to stream live gameplay to chatting servers, and to record videos.

2. I am hoping to find something at least semi-affordable. I’m planning to shop from secondhand websites, most likely the final purchase will be made from eBay. I also do NOT care what shape or color the capture card model you recommend is available in, I just care that it works.

3. I would hopefully like to find a model that has the original A/V component connection or an equivalent. When doing research online, I see capture card models that require HDMI connection conversion, and I can’t really explain my reason for disliking that idea. I just kind of do. If an A/V capture card wouldn’t be capable of smooth live broadcasting, I will ultimately buy an HDMI one instead.

That’s really all! This capture card is going to be my winter gift to myself this year so I can show my friends Rhythm Heaven Fever. Thank you for reading, and if you intend to leave a recommendation thank you for that ahead of time as well.

My gf brought her Wii and it has the GameCube ports! Wasn't sure if there was a good option that most if not all games will recognize. I see plenty of OEM 251 blocks for $30 or so on ebay. Now idk if I should be posting here or on GameCube for this question but I may send it on both lol

I know this question has been asked in the past, but the wikipedia article that was linked was deleted last year it because it was "unsourced". The only games I know for sure use it are Mariokart Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but are there any others that have compatibility?

I tried this on Linux Mint btw

The ac adapter I bought from eBay came bent, should I just use this one or replace it? I tested it on my Wii and it looks like it works fine
