the red one has the original donkey kong on it, I bought herself Animal crossing the city with Wii speak on it for Mothers day, I cant go into the sitting room now without her and her sister talking over the speak thing about what fish they just caught or outfit they bought.
Hack that bad boy & remove all traces of it. Install RE4 & listen to different kinds of squeaks

Ha, yeah. I have a Wii problem
The white one with the hard drive is the main one for Wii games, emulators, homebrew etc. The black one with the WODE is just for playing the Gamecube disc images and the new red one is just for having a red one
4.3 is exploitable, but you need a Lego game to do it (Lego Indy/Batman etc).
Steve, whats a WODE??

WODE= Wii Optical Drive Emulator
Handy little thing.

Ugh, sounds very very cool. I love the idea of GC game images being played through it, afaik that can't be done on a normally modified Wii without an extra adaptpr (could be a Gecko?)
You can play gamecube games using the gamecube backup loader on a modded Wii. It's not great though to be honest. The Wode plays them perfectly as its a virtual drive so the Wii just thinks it's a Gamecube disc and does its thing.
This vid is a bit old as they have updated the menu and how it works since then to be a bit nicer. It shows the onscreen menu and how you can just pick a Wii or GC game and play.
Edit:
You can play backup discs on the GC backup loader, not ISO's. So yeah not sure how you load ISO's on a soft modded Wii.

That WODE is a pretty nifty piece of equipment. I've pretty much ever GC game I have ever wanted so not much use to me but it might be any easier way to play the fan translation of Fatal Frame 4 which seems a pain to get running.

The laser in those is better than the Wii, but they still fail unfortunately
Well all lasers fail, just the Wii fails QUICKLY in some cases. 0 -

Finally found my damn screwdrivers that had been missing a few weeks. So what does that mean? It means time to give my Everdrive PCB a home!
Thought I'd take some pictures along the way.
I started with a crappy golf game. Can't remember what it was before I tore the label off. Nothing worth noting or caring about. PGA something or other. If anything, tearing the label off was kind of nice, as it showed me how damn stubborn those things are.
So time to get that worthless piece of rubbish game out of there and something decent in. Hmm, it had a backup ability. That's actually kind of interesting...
Anyway! game out, and we're left with this.
As you can see, the PCB fits perfectly...just the SD card and pause button stick out the top.
The cart shell hacking begins. I worked from the halves out. I wanted to cut holes, but it's very hard to judge where the pause button and sd card need to come through. So this is by far the easiest way.
while I was screwing it back together, the halves weren't meeting easily. So in the end a little bit more came away then needed. Better to be safe than sorry. Would be nothing worse than snapping the SD card holder off while screwing it closed.
Anyway, here's the finished article with the label stuck on. I quite like the label, has a nice prototype look to it or something -
Also got an inlay with it too -
I'm pleased enough with the end result. Could neaten the holes up a bit more, but I think I'll leave it as is.
Edit, forgot the most important picture of all, Nomad running an uber rare game outside

Nicely done dude. What's the story with the SMS pause button above though - the first pic it looks like a black piece is missing from inside the little metal casing, but in the second pic its there?
Did you have to put that in or are my eyes deceiving me? 0 -

It's there, just the shot is at an odd angle 0 -

You're right Andrew it's really freaky one minute it's there, next it's not odd!0 -

Just looked at it again, you're right it is there. It looks like the underneath of the metal part rather that the black piece. Just the angle as you say. Mystery solved. 0 -

Haha! That is weird. I didn't do anything with it at all, so it is indeed some kind of optical illusion.
So nice to finally have that in a case. Was a bit freaked out using just a PCB.0 -

@o1s1n - how is your Nomad screen so clear ? mines nowhere near as good
Enternow modded it for me with a new LCD screen I bought from Dealextreme. It's a perfect replacement but looks a billion times better. No ghosting, no colour wash out and crystal clear picture.
He also did the battery pack mod on it too. So with the new lower power draining screen and the high capacity battery, the thing seems to run forever.
It's a shame the technology wasn't about in the 90s to make it like this in the first place.
Edit - forgot to mention, I also did a very minor mod to the Nomad cart slot while the dremmel was out. There are two little tabs on either side, something like what the PAL Megadrive has to stop you inserting Japanese games.
If you shave off a tiny fraction of these, Japanese games will then insert perfectly. I would have completely removed them but the cart slot door springs back up and seems to touch them..so I was unsure if they played some part in keeping it closed. But definitely worth doing if you have Japanese carts.0
