I checked both stores, cause they are both "good" ones, but newegg was always cheaper for what I wanted, Also, hen I ordered my case it said it would be a week or so to get here, got here in 2 days.
to tiger.
I just saw that a pawn shop had dozens of GC's for just 13, and I do want one. However, the games I want to play are either foreign, or to rare for me to find. The one game I really want to play, Cubivores (which is the real reason I want a GC) I have never so much as seen in real life.
So, my Q to you guys is, how to do? Is there a boot disk like the Dreamcast, PSX, PS2. Or do I have to get a mod chip? If it has to be a mod, what is the easiest route. I don't have a micro solder, so it needs to be solderless, as well as easy as possible. Now I know there was a memcard thing that could do it, but I couldn't find it for sell last I looked. And I would prefer it be just the GC, not many Wii games interested me. I may be a fanboy, but the wii just isn't my thing.

Eh, the only one of those I can find is over 50$. Not going to pay that much for something like that.

Why not? You're going to spend more on just modding a GC. Not to mention, but how do you plan on playing (I'm assuming) a back-up of game on the GC? Do you have mini-discs and a way of burning them?

Course, I got a few of them. You say it like their hard to come by, and burn. Walmart here still has a different types of the minidisks, and of course I have a burner that can burn mini DVDs. Or I could mod the case to play full size DVDs.

I didn't mean it that way. It's just that on most sites that I go to some people can't seem to find them and others say that they can't burn them. Your best bet may be looking into a solder free/clip Mod chip. If you do a search for them, you should be able to find them. I know they made some for the Wii but my Wii is soft modded. Much easier!

Yeah, but you can't boot GC backups from the homebrew channel, can you? Cause I got that on my moms. Maybe that would be a better route then.

That would be awesome. All I ever heard of was a GC regionfree player, but nothing about backups.

Yes you can! I haven't tried myself yet due to the fact that I would have to buy a GC mem card and controller again. Not to mention, the GC back-ups can be burned to and played off of a full size DVD!

That depends on what firmware it is. As long as you haven't updated it to 4.0, then soft modding can still be done to it.
Stuff that you'll need - An SD Card, a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, wireless internet access and a bunch of software that has to be put onto the Wii and a few items for your PC that are Wii related.
Let me know when you plan on doing this and I'll set you up with everything that you'll need including step by step instructions on how to do it all!

I can borrow my moms Zelda, but I can't get me a wii for some time now. Wii's are so much more then GCs, so got so save up for a bit. Guess I will get one though, being able to play any GC game, as well as any Wii game is pretty nifty.

Not to mention, all the different emulators that you can run on it plus all of the WiiWare games as well. Add in the right software and you can also use the Wii for a DVD player!
And just to give you the heads up, I've soft modded three Wii's myself (including my own) with no problems what so ever!

I have soft modded my moms too, and I know all the good emus, DVD players, ect. I just didn't know that there was a GC backup loader. That is what I want. Everything else is just icing.
