Install VC games via Twilight Hack on Wii...

[Vade]

I've installed games on my Wii using the Twilight Hack. Installed SMB1, SMB2, SMB3, Metroid, Zelda, Punch Out, River City Ransom, Super Metroid, Earthbound (Injected Room)_Zelda: TOoT, Super Smash Bros (Injected Rom).

Basically it's like installing a channel and you can play with GC controller, Classic, Wiimote, etc. Some games that aren't released yet on VC can be injected into preexisting VC games..but you lose the ability to play that game unless you reinstall it. Here's a link to a tutorial.

Im surprised this took so long to show up here

I am too...searched around for a few minutes and decided, eh it's worth posting if I can't find it.

Just a word of caution, if you attempt to install more than a few VC games in one run, it can pseudo-brick your Wii. To remedy it you'll have to reformat and you'll lose all your saved games.

I've only done one at a time...and I hit a cap and next time it rebooted, it said Wii Memory Full...and I had to delete a game in order to get back to the menu. Wasn't a big deal.

The last time I tried to use my SD card (MicroSD+ SD adapter, 2 GB), the Wii wouldn't save anything to it like Smash Bros replays :/. I don't even think it recognized the card.

OFN, there is another thread on this.

Oh man, I didn't notice that River City Ransom was added to VC. Must play. 8)

Nice, now I can play stuff without having to drag out all my old systems. Just a small mistake in those directions, the .WAD you want to install need to be in a folder called WAD, not in the base directory of the SD card.

River City Ransom goooo!

Where can you get the Virtual Console games? And which of the Twilight prince game do you need? for Wii for GameCube? Thanks

[Vade]

I get my VC games from Blackcats and it's the Wii version of Zelda.

Thanks for reminding me of this hack. I searched on demonoid and found a torrent which had all the VC games as of April 25th.

Not quite all of them just from looking, I don't see Super Castlevania 4, F-Zero, or any Genesis games.

Considering that basically any rom can be injected into a VC now, "every VC release up to date x" is hardly going to cover all that's being released so fast right now >.>

Personally I'm staying away from this, it just doesn't feel right. If you use the hack and you delete it, you can download the game from Nintendo because they think you bought it... (non-injected ones, of course) Just feels a bit too illegal for me. (lol)

Besides, all those games can be emulated on my PC, and if I'm playing my Wii I'm at my home, so I don't really see any reason to play them on my wii instead of my pc <_< I don't have a classic controller, and I can use my GC controller on my PC so...

The fact that the Wii Scene is moving forward at a rapid rate is a great thing coming out of this, though.

Wow, hell froze over.

What's the point of pirating old games on your wii and risk bricking it with future updates, when you can you know, just pirate them on your pc with more features?

[Vade]

I like being able to use the classic controller. Once they make an emulator native to the Wii with full CC support, I won't need these channels. And I found this PC point and click adventure homebrew called ScummVM which you can play old school PC games using the Wii Remote as a mouse.
