    This is from my Wii info post
    http://forum.ragezone.com/gaming-hot...ed-193269.html

    and playing online is free but using the Wii "browser" costs money [ you have to buy browser]. The browser surfs the net. and you cant download gamecube games only the ones listed below. I kno my shit ^^
    [quote][Video game archive download]
    This feature was pretty obscure till a few months ago. When nintendo officially announced it would be releasing a with its Wii a internet based video game archive that owners of wii could ascess through their wii and download classic games of classic consoles:
    [NOTE:only certain games are available on each consoles, as you can see below this are the classics that either sold the most or people loved the most]
    N64*:Super Mario 64 ,Golden eye,Perfect Dark,Star Fox 64
    Sega Genesis:Sonic the Hedgehog, Altered Beast, Golden Axe, Columns, Ecco the Dolphin, Gunstar Heroes, Space Harrier II, Toe Jam & Earl, Ristar, Dr. Robotnik

    ooo... was thinking of getting the mod chip maybe, Can't wait to play from system but from the look of it not getting until new year since it is in the UK and not getting home until then.

    Wont be long. The Wii is 85% the same hardware as the last revision of the GCN. Only major difference is the upgraded CPU, GPU and the DVD player. Rest is nearly the same. So mod chips for the GCN will work with little if not no modding at all.

    Modding consoles isn't warez. Makeing it so your console can play import games that you still have to buy isn't wrong at all. Actually good in some ways as it bring in more money for the companies. Look at how Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo (handhelds) are region free. It allows the customers to buy things that are only in other contries adding to their profits. Shame to see that the Wii isn't region free though.

    Well most allow you to play *homebrew* games... or have the ability to played *imported* games. Some will allow you to modify the BIOS and give different skins to the console menu etc

    Hey nopeace does that mean if I want to order games from the US and play on my Wii, I can't? Is it split up like this again:
    - Oceanic OR - Oceanic & Asia
    - USA
    - Europe ?

    Because that would really suck and cause more piracy....

    If you TV can support NTSC singles then it will work. If you TV can't then you won't get a picture. =P

    If you have a PAL 60 then no problem. Got a PAL 50 and then there might be issues.

    Yeah the Wii isn't region free. Hence the need for mod chips. =P

    PS3 is region free for games and movies it's setup in that A, B, C standard for BluRay. With all NTSC under A, all PAL under B, and the other thing under C. A universal ATSC mode will be intoduced once it's becomes the world standard in about 2008-2010.

    x360 is DVD region locked (can be gotten around by the HDDVD atatchment from a different region. And it's games are region locked based on if the game developer wants it to be or not. Most games are region free.

    PAL EU and PAL AUS are different regions you know. ;)

    Different regions = locking.

    TV's though will handle it as it's the same singles but region lockings is done by regions and not singles.
