Do you guys know if its even possible that there could be a modchip that allows you to play-back not only Wii game but GameCube games at the same time? This would be very helpful to me since i dont have a gamecube and
it would be cool to play MGS:THE TWIN SNAKES back-up on the Wii, and not having to pay a 100 bucks to play GC back-ups.

I am sure some day you will be able to do this. My guess is probably 2 years or so from now.

I know a month ago or so I read a mod chip was being tested (working) for the xbox 360. A nice feature compared to 1st gen mod chips (with an on/off switch), was that the new 360 mod chip detected real disks and disabled the chip for online verification tests and enabled for burnt/hacked disks. If I owned a 360, I might still care to follow its developement. My sister owns one so I keep my eyes open for her benefit. For my needs I will play xbox360 games on my Windows Vista PC. I'm pretty sure you won't need a modchip for the Wii. Seeing as the Wii will have a removable storage device (SD=Secure Digital), which is compatible with a PC. It will be easier to emulate/hack/modify a Wii compared to a ps2/xbox was. However, even with an SD card with say a hacked disk launcher program on it. You may or may not need a method to tell the Wii to run that program/disk. This will depend on Wii's security and programming(unknown). Where there's a will, there's a way!

You are many many years away from being able to emulate the Wii or 360 on your PC.

You don't need to emulate a 360 on PC just get Windows Vista (Its free right now as its still beta) most games will be made for both, but will be better on Vista or only on Vista in the first place. Second, I never said emulate anything on PC. I explained the quick progress on an Xbox360 mod chip which if it isn't released yet, will soon. If you don't believe me or can't use a search engine, tell me, I'll point you in the right direction.

To mean that certainly sounded like you were talking about emulation.

If you mean ports, than you are missing the best "exclusive to the 360" games. Dead rising, gears of war, Halo 3, crackdown, ect ect... Or by the time they are ported to the PC, emulation COULD already be possible, lol

It does sound like emulation as I said it, but if you have heard of E3, then your familiar with Windows Vista and Xbox 360(Windows Media Center skinned). In E3 they tell us of the compatibility, and tell us of how Vista will support new realistic graphics that no console or other OS will support, although the 360 will support the same games without these realistic graphics ofcourse. So technically Microsoft will be porting or emulating from Vista to Xbox360. Microsoft has already been emulating its current OSes onto Xbox360(and so can you).

Oh and yes I did make a significant typo, I won't fix it or your posts won't make sense:

Seeing as the Wii will have a removable storage device (SD=Secure Digital), which is compatible with a PC. It will be easier to emulate ON/hack/modify a Wii compared to a ps2/xbox was.

You see I omitted to say emulate "on" the Wii. As the original poster inquired about using a mod chip to play a backup disk of GC game on a Wii and my post was responding on how to go about this. Whereas your posts are just vague guesstimates on how long until a mod chip is made. Or a guesstimate about emulating on PC. Typically I try to stay on topic, typos happen, but I mean your picking out one word, out of context of the rest of the sentence. Well I thought I made it clear last post that I didn't imply emulation "on" a PC. I hope this post clarifies things.

P.S. you can use your USB Xbox360 controller on your Vista PC, so it will be just like the Xbox version, but prettier. If the drivers existed you could probably use the Wii controller on PC for old system emulators...hmmm

P.S.S. The reason I mentioned the SD card was not to port the Wii's OS or anything to the PC, but the reverse (Theorectically). To load a program from PC onto the memory card toload programs/games/backup discs, as is similiarly done on ps2.

thanks for clearing things up. hopefully as you said the sd card should help. but when saying sd card do you mean using it as if it was a mod chip or did you mean load the games up "PSP style".
