Wii Modding
« on: October 24, 2006, 04:07:00 PM »
Mods: Dunno where this belongs; there doesn't appear to be a forum for modding other consoles.

I've been anticipating this since it was announced.

Think of how small that thing is. It is also relatively cheap compared to the other consoles. It supports standards like DVD, USB, and SD cards. It also has wireless LAN built-in as well as very interesting wireless motion technology. All of this combined with hardware that is slightly more powerful than the original Xbox.

All of this adds up to some very interesting modding possibilites. I don't know what all could be done with it, but I could imagine small and cheap laptops put together using all this tech and a few other parts for under $300.

Anyone else interested in modding the Wii? What do you have in mind?

I noticed a relatively small exhaust fan in the back, that could be replaceable with a lit-up one.

I think you could mod it, but why?

Um not meant to be negitive just...
You can get a xbox 360 Off ebay for anyware between 180-250 usa If you look around And to buy insurance Its only like 30-40$ so to get a xbox 360 mod could and should run you about 400$ you pay 100$ more for so much more.
Its worth it.

This is completely the wrong forum...should probably be in the Off-Topic forums under gamecube/ps2/dreamcast/other section.

This hasn't even come out yet. How can you possibly start speculating on its modding capabilities.

Its always good to think ahead. I mean you can plan ahead on its internals but cosmetics are okay.

I am looking on google and there is a pic of "the other controller". It sort of resembles a nes controller. I am sure (depending on thickness) you could ghetto it into a nes or snes controller.

You can probably put AV ports on the back.

The usb ports on the back are different. They should be changed to normal ones.

It should fit good in a dvd player case.

There is a sensor that plugs into the back I guess, internalize it.

The duck hunt gun looks real gay. Change it.


There are just a few I came up with in ten minutes. Put some real thought into and it could be modded right as it comes out.

The Wii and 360 are different in many ways. One is smaller, one is more powerful. They both use different technology. It really isn't an issue of money or of power, I just think the Wii would be interested to mod.

its not released so if we're gunna do speculation...  

hows about modding it to rip graphically improved/bug fixed dumps of classic games (through virtual console)?

also, theyve killed off DVD playback. its unlikely, cos im sure it would need a hardware decoder, but, modding it for dvd playback?

just thoughts wink.gif

You can mod the case to include a light up Calvin Wii-ing logo on it or something.

Why is this forum always got someone just wanting to disgree with someone. You can easily specualte on its modding capabilities. Cause we are  rolleyes.gif

Seeing as it looks pretty sexy anyway, theres not a lot paint wise to do. I wouldn't want to ruin that lush finish. Maybe just a window? But who knows what kind of room there is inside it and if there is any point in a window. Judging by the GC there won't be a lot of room inside.

I highly doubt the need for cooling mods either.
