Wii and Usenet

Newby here with a few questions.

I understand wii games need to be burned with imgburn or nero. Do I need a 'modded' wii to burn and play games I download from usenet? Do the disks need to be dual layer burned by a specific player?

 

Question 1. - burn, no (Wii doesn't burn games anyway); play - yes.

Question 2. - most games are single layer only a few (SSBB and maybe some other new titles) are dual layer. Any burner will work.

 

I am not interested in modding one myself. Where can I get one premodded? Thanks

 

You will pay a ridiculous markup for a pre-modded wii. Best bet is to check craigslist for a local mod installer or a used modded wii.

 

I found a website that will sell me a modded wii for 400+. Is this reasonable?

 

I can't tell you what is reasonable.

What I can tell you is what I paid.

Wii - $249.99 plus tax
Wiikey $ 30.00 shipped
Installation $80.00 (cut pins) same day service.

 

Ya I've paid:

Wii-$285 (sold out, had to buy from some guy)
D2CPro w/ Wii-Clip soldered-$70

Installation-Priceless

You should just go with the ones that go with the Wii-Clip, because they are solderless to the Wii, and only take about 3 min to install!

 

I got the Wii locally, with tax was about $270
Had it modded with WiiKey locally, $80

$400 shipped for a working modded Wii isn't too bad a price...

 

i paid 2800 for my wii
700 for chip plus install

rands

 

how much is it in euros, us dollars or GB pounds

 

If you are talking about SRZ (South African Rand)

2,800 South African Rand = 374.670 US Dollar

700 South African Rand = 93.66741 US Dollar
