I was always under the impression for some reason that you could surf the internet with the wii. I recently got it online and realized there was no browser...
Ive read that you can use Opera or something with wii... but most of those articles were really really old, and I found them on google
Is there currently a way for a NTSC wii to browse the internet? without having to pay that is...
Originally posted by cee43ja1: no. if you did not download the opera browser when it was free, then you must pay. there is no way around it, as each download is console locked.
can you explain the process a little bit? is it a one time fee? or per hour or something?
also, do I buy it through the wii shopping channel? and what do you mean each download is console locked?
to purchase the opera browser, you will either have to buy the wii points card (found in game stores, usually in 2000pts), or use a credit card. you purchase it through the wii shop channel.
the download is a one time fee. you just provide the internet connection (wifi or using usb/ethernet adapter).
as for console lock; whatever you download on your wii, will only work in your wii. you cannot transfer it to another wii. you can copy it to a sd card so you can restore it later on your wii, but it will fail to copy to another wii.
so if your wii breaks down, the only way to save your downloads is to send it in to nintendo; but if you have a modchip, it's pretty much gone. as far as i know, there is no way to transfer them over without sending your wii to nintendo.
