Before I go any further, I'm going to say that I watched the video again more closely and I noticed that the part between the press of the button and the main menu showing up was skipped with a quick fade, so that sort of disproves what I originally thought was an incredibly fast boot and skip of the warning screen which could only be done with a firmware hack.

So Pilot you are saying that he hacked the the Wii system and then he removed the Warning Screen isn't that like illegal or is it legal when you buy your Wii and I have another question would you buy it the Wii laptop??

I think it would be illegal, at least I know Nintendo would want it to be illegal. If you read my post more carefully, you'll see that I've concluded it to be video editing rather than actual hacking.

Personally I like the idea of the Wii laptop and it would encourage me to play the Wii a lot more than I do now, but given my weak financial situation at the moment, I wouldn't pay the likely double-price for it or probably even the original Wii price. If it doesn't lose any functionality such as original video output port, there would be no question about it that it would be worth considerably more than the original Wii.

What about something like this would you buy it??? if it actually came out ???? it cools pretty cool but I don't think that they could really manufacture something like that????


You are right pilot after re-watching the video I can see how there is that quick-fade that you were talking about!!! =]

[Pilot_51]

I don't think that one is quite as good. Cleaner looking, but a lower usability. Someone viewing from the left would probably have a problem with the console in the way, but maybe that screen is more adjustable than it appears to be.

Oh I see what you are saying like if you look at a computer from the left or the top that screen looks different thats true it kind has that effect

I can see the conector u are able to move it on the X-Axis of the Wii

[arthur_is_tight]

Oh ok is the X-axis like up and down or left to right???? ?_?

No, he's saying that there's a big lump of console in the way!

[arthur_is_tight]

Ahh ok I see but that isn't a big deal you can always plug the Wii into a TV that is just for like small offices

[Wraith]

Or you could do nothing to it at all...?
Hey why fix something that isn't broken?
