We've previously covered the WODE which is set to revolutionize the Nintendo Wii modification scene.

USB Loaders have their downfalls as they don't boast 100% compatibility and are limited to the WBFS a file system designed for the loaders.

The WODE is a totally hardware based solution that comes with the compatibility and reliability of a modchip - something you can't...

OK, do you remember the OLD PS3 Backup Tool? I've updated it, and now you can successfully write mixed backups on your PS3.

The new method mixes not all parts like before, but only half. Doing so, the PS3 recognizes the backup and restore, not only the "Integral" part, but even the part (50%) you added.
