188w ago - A few weeks ago we
announced news of the new Nintendo Wii WODE alongside the WODE Jukebox.
Today we have a few videos of the WODE in action. The first is from the Defcon1 demonstration of WODE loading and playing GameCube games from a USB HDD (NTFS formatted).
The second video below demonstrates "The Impossible Mission" where the WODE demo loads Metroid Prime Trilogy from an NTFS game image.
Finally, our Wii Forum Moderator
cfwprophet will soon be posting a WODE review on our dedicated
PS3 News Reviews page.
Until then, heck out the videos below!
I'm not entirely new to the scene, just very out of the loop. 2 years ago I downgraded from 3.60 OFW to 3.55 CFW kmeaw.
I've not done much with it...
@comhen: $100 isn't too pricey when you factor in peace of mind that your original discs stay safe and you don't have to buy another copy of a game because someone broke a disc.
i find it abit pricy $100.00 + the cost of a HDD ($100) to play your backup of games you already paid for. and how much would the Technician charge for his service. i hope they find a cheaper solution.
