Now you can play backups for free! Just using a parallel port!
Remastered by me, Raimond, with music! Woo! You should all recognize this music!
The MOD uses a parallel port cable (IEEE 1284 D-SUB 25 male) top connect the Wii to the parallel port of a PC. The mod firmware is run locally on the PC (spot the black console window below the video capture screen) and the video is fed through a video capture card, also slapped onto a PC.
Pretty nifty trick for under three bucks isn't it? Boot up your backed up games to keep the originals lasting longer. The DVD drive is patched directly to the PC via printer cable and from there the modified firmware bypasses the security check.
if u can look closely (or even read what I said in the description), using the internal parallel port with the Wii, you can actually now play backups on the Wii, by launching a few lines of code on the connected PC...previously (which isn't that long ago), this could only be done by installing (and paying for) a Wii modchip such as Cyclowiz or Wiikey....for more info and how to actually do the mod yourself (which works 100%), check out maxconsole.
Brings back memories of the Zelda 64 days...remember all the glitches OOT had...like the one where you could walk up the hill near Din's fire place, and go where you weren't supposed to go (even into nothingness)...well this is like that but reborn on the Wii/GC...and easier to do than before...Here we go!
It's found in Hyrule Field, a little ... all ยป north-west of Kakariko Village. The area is distinguished as a squiggly area on the map.
To get onto the mountain (though it's more of a hill), you have to set a bomb down, back up a bit, and use a Jump Strike after waiting a second or so. This technique can be used to get to a bunch of glitchy areas, but it's a pain to perfect in order to record it.
Using this glitch I'm sure it will make those speed runners save TONS of time...try it out sometime!
