when i download torrents i always see games on the sites for Wii and PS3 which i have, is it just a case on downloading these games and copy then to cd then they work on my console?

no

how do i get them to work si?

Modchip on the wii I think.

You'll need something to dump the image onto the HD in the case of the PS3.

Don't ask me how it all works, I gave up buying consoles a long time ago  :D

whats a modchip  :?

A chip that modifies the computer's software so it lets you play copied cames AKA a modchip.

I haven't done it since the days of PS1 mind, so I can't shed any further light into it now.

Also for the benefits of anyone thinking of this...it's highly illegal and invalidates your warranty

ok mate thanks for your help, ill go google the bastard

Some sort of warranty invalidating moddage. Which isn't as simple as it was back in the old PSone days.

What with firmware / software OS upgrades happening if you ever want to use it on tinternet, I'd imagine the whole thing could be a bit risky. I know Microsoft will ban you from XBox live if they catch you playing dodgy copy's of stuff.

You can probably do google searches which will have better answers than me.

crap. I knew I should have hit submit before I went for a pis.

is it a case of downloading something to the wii? i just followed 1 link and it was about soldering the wii, thats to complicated if i gotta do that

Nobody knows  :hide:

If that was the first link then probably. It definately won't be the case of just downloading a game and burning it to a dvd. Sorry.

It looks like a 'wiikey' is the easiest way but it still involves solder.

ok thanks for the help you two

i think all modchips involve soldering, they did on the PS1 and xbox anyway. trick is to have a mate who knows what he's doing. not that i do of course.

I remember there were other ways of doing it....ps2 you could use swap disc and xbox they made one you didnt have to solder (dunno how but my mate had it).

Think there was a ps1 non soldering thing eventually.

Got a feeling that the dreamcast has fuck all protection but the dreamcast discs are a bit different than cd's and hold more. It'll play copied cd's but as they can't hold as much so you have to play silly buggers and compress video and stuff on bigger games.

dreamcasts were ace

PS3 and Wii both involve soldering!

Not worth doing until your warranty has run out!

i toyed with the idea of getting my ps1 and ps2 chipped back in the day.but friends who had theirs done had loads of problems with them.

My ps1 still works. boogie

if i knew where mine was then i could check for sure. but i think it does.

i still play the SNES  8)

I'd love to have a chipped ps1, think someone offered me one in a thread ages ago but I never got around to sorting it.

Top of my wish list at the moment would be an Atari Jaguar with a copy of Tempest 2000. Which is possibly the greatest non-heard of game ever. Bit of a fan of Jeff Minters stuff. He's a bit of a nutter. Llamatron was awesome, especially if you play it with a dual stick controller.

Part of SY's dinner ?
