/vr/ - Retro Games

>>751249
Yes, there is. It'd be pretty much the same, and the game selection is more limited, so not really.

>>751249

So, if I'm reading this correctly, you want to know if there is a way you can hack your wii to gain infinite Wii points to purchase unlimited items on the Wii Shop, right?

If so, then no, its impossible. Mostly for obvious reasons like Nintendo having put protections in place on THEIR end.

>>751249
A little more expensive way to do that is to actually buy a SNES and a flash cart so that you can get all SNES game on one cartridge and play on a real SNES.

then, is there anyway to improve emulation on my laptop?

>>751301
Buy a converter to play with a real SNES controller to USB.

But please don't use those shitty filters.

>>751309
i don'tm understan what is a filter, or why it's shitty

Softmodding the Wii is extremely easy. Just go to wiibrew.org and read the documentation instead of asking dumb questions.

>>751301
>>751309
Just connect a 360 or a PS3 controller.

>>751317
Damn, you aren't a nice person.

>>751325

Actually, he's the nicest guy here. Your question was pretty dumb when you think about it, at least in how it was worded.

But he's absolutely right. wiibrew.org has step by step instructions showing you what to do, and because he directed you there, he's the only one here who has actually helped you.

So delete your thread, go to Wiibrew.org, and come back if you have any more dumb questions.

>>751316
A filter is something emulation programs use to slightly improve the graphics. They are pretty good for the most part, but they can make some games look bad. Anyway, don't worry about them, the default options in most emulators are ok.

>>751332
I wasn't even OP...
And if "helping someone" means "being an asshole", well then I'd be glad to help you.

>>751341

>And if "helping someone" means "being an asshole", well then I'd be glad to help you.

Hey, he was still helped. He was also informed that his question was dumb. Should I use the word "silly" instead? Would that make you feel better?

By pointing out what is "silly" you can raise the bar, so to speak. Get over it.

>>751363
There are no dumb questions.The intricacies of emulation are not common knowledge. Stop being such an asshole, dude.

>>751390
But then...

Y can't metroid crawl?

>>751390

>There are no dumb questions.

Ask a college professor if there are dumb questions and I bet that they'd say that you're currently asking one

>>751390

>Intricacies of emulation

don't flatter yourself. This shit is easy.

>>751401
Because they are spherical jelly thingies with no limbs.

>>751413
Why would a professor, whose job is to teach people things, ever say that? I hope he's jocking.

>>751414
Sure it's easy, once you know what to do.

>>751419

Because as an instructor myself, I can assure you that dumb questions do exist.

>>751485
Why? Just because you know the answer since forever ago? Just because you think the answer is really obvious? That doesn't make the question less valid. If a person asks something it's because either they don't know how to do it, or they don't realize how to do it. Calling people dumb or looking down on them just because they don't know something or because they aren't able of doing it won't help anybody.

Human beings have the capacity to transfer their knowledge to other beings. And that ability is one of the basis of our society, so stop being an asshole.

>>751485
I assure you, instructors like yourself are part of the problem not the solution

>>751548

>Why?

I suppose I'll take a crack at explaining myself.

>Just because you know the answer since forever ago?

No.

>Just because you think the answer is really obvious?

Also no.

>That doesn't make the question less valid. If a person asks something it's because either they don't know how to do it, or they don't realize how to do it.
>Calling people dumb or looking down on them just because they don't know something or because they aren't able of doing it won't help anybody.

I never called him dumb. I merely felt that his question was dumb. Did you perchance read his question? He wanted to know if you can hack your Wii to have infinite Wii Points to get games off of Nintendo's Wii Shop, when hacking your Wii and installing emulators is much much easier and is actually possible. Most people know this by default without even really thinking much on it because its just plain common sense. Do you really think Nintendo wouldn't put protections on their servers like Microsoft and Sony do? Really?

>Human beings have the capacity to transfer their knowledge to other beings. And that ability is one of the basis of our society, so stop being an asshole.

I'm aware, but lets be honest here. You're being, for lack of a better word, a faggot. I called his question dumb, but still helped him because I do care. I just want to instigate some common sense. You can't do so by being overly sensitive, which is exactly what you're doing. So agian, get over it.

Posts like mine set standards, and they won't stop. And for the record, even if you disagree with me about this particular anon's question, an easy example of a dumb question is one that is completely off-topic to the ongoing lesson and that happens frequently during lectures. Dumb questions do exist. Welcome to the real world, where winners and losers coexist and instructors have to put up with stupid questions.

>>751595

Oh really? Why might that be?

Are you assuming that I berate my students or something? Telling a student that his or her question is silly, and then giving an explanation as to why, while still answering said question is not "part of the problem".

>>751660
>Breaking the will of the young by telling them they are silly

What an example.

>>751595
>>751548
How is a question asked on an imageboard not dumb when it can be put almost literally into an internet search that will find you the answer?

>>751667

Its as if you people are going out of your way to prove to me that you can't read. Which is fine, because it just makes constructing my posts that much easier.

I am not breaking the will of the young by telling them they are silly or dumb. This is because I do not tell them they are silly or dumb, I tell them that the question they asked was silly or dumb.

If they're class clowns, then this discourages the repeating of the offense, and if they're students that are there to learn, then I find that their questions become much better as time goes on.

Did everyone on 4chan turn into a gaping vagina while I was away for two months or something?

Yes, you need to softmod your wii. Try using Letterbomb. Then look for .wad files for the channels you want and use something like MMM to install them. Google will help

>>751683
I'm a teacher myself and telling your students that their questions as dumb or silly wont help in any way.

You're just too full of yourself man, because you seem to think that you're the only one right in this world.

>>751694
>I'm a teacher myself and telling your students that their questions as dumb or silly wont help in any way.
But what if the question is dumb?

>>751316

>>751702

>>751698
If the question is really, really, really fucking dumb (is the earth round / is the sun revolving around earth?) ... Well then I gotta admit it's difficult not to at least frown.

But if that's "silly" because they didnt understand a rule to apply or whatever, that's not really silly.

In any case, I don't think telling straight to a student that something he asked (meaning he wanted to improve himself / learn more) is silly in front of the class will help in any way.

>>751706
What if it's like in this situation?
What if a student has a dictionary sitting in front of them on their desk, and they raise their hand and ask you the definition of a word?

It's not the question itself that is dumb, but context can definitely make asking a certain question inane.

>>751698
You think shaming them will magically teach them how to ask better questions or think for themselves?

No, it'll just turn them into another bitter selfrighteous prick who resents things they don't understand

>>751708
You must be an horrible teacher. In all of your posts you keep on speaking of students as horrible stupid monsters. Why do you do that job if you hate it that much?

>>751709
Telling them to read the dictionnary =/= saying their question is dumb

>>751694

>I'm a teacher myself and telling your students that their questions as dumb or silly wont help in any way

For a fellow instructor, you sure enjoy butchering the English language. I understand what you meant, at least. You say it doesn't help, but I've actually experimented with this and it does. Do you think I'm an elementary school teacher or something? How cute.

>You're just too full of yourself man, because you seem to think that you're the only one right in this world.

You're trying to claim I'm narcissistic and that I believe that I'm the only one who is right in the entire WORLD? Really? That's hefty claim to make, and a very unrealistic one at that.

I'm an educator. I don't believe I'm right in every circumstance. I make mistakes. I encourage my students to bring my mistakes to my attention when they see them, and it happens quite often.

I didn't realize that 4chan was now home to all of the gaping overly senstive vaginas from Tumblr.

>>751713
I'm going to say that the question is dumb. I'm not going to encourage a student to avoid independent thought.

>>751651
>Just because you think the answer is really obvious?
>Also no.
But you clearly did:
>its just plain common sense

Not really. A ton of people know very little about the internet and how does it work. The guy obviously knows you can hack some consoles and play downloadable games in them, but not how. Something that you can totally do, just downloading the games from the internet into a PC, not from Nintendo's servers. So it was a legit question: you can do it, but not like that.

>one that is completely off-topic to the ongoing lesson and that happens frequently during lectures
That'd be inappropriate, not dumb. In fact, it could even be a pretty smart question to ask if what the student wants is to waste time or to derail the lecture. Which, yeah, it's not a smart thing to do in the long run, but that's a whole different issue.

I understand that everybody takes things for granted and they may get annoyed at questions whose answers look really obvious, but the thing is that questions are never dumb.

>>751715
Because all the teachers in the world are english right?

Oh yeah I'm so butchering the English language (with a capital E because I want to look kewl and smart on an anonymous board) because I've wrote "as" instead of "are", oh my god!

>gaping vaginas

Did your learn those words recently?

Also, yes, you seem to think you're better than anyone. A normal person (aka someone who isn't an ass) wouldn't say something like " I understand what you meant, at least." or "how cute".

You're quite pitiful.

>>751678
Because asking people in a board dedicated to something specific is more convenient than looking for an answer yourself. In fact, the guy was focusing his question wrong in the first place, and Google isn't going to tell him that.

>>751731
>(with a capital E because I want to look kewl and smart on an anonymous board)
Not him, but you do know what a proper noun is, right? Capitalizing the name of a language is far from the height of academia.

And what, exactly, would keep a normal person from saying "I understand what you mean, at least"? It seems like a straightforward phrase.

>>751731
I'm not the anon you're talking to, but you keep making grammatical errors that make you look really uneducated.

I hope you don't freak out at your students like you do at other teachers.

Oh,and

>with a capital E because I want to look kewl and smart on an anonymous board

Do you know how proper nouns work?

>>751706

>In any case, I don't think telling straight to a student that something he asked (meaning he wanted to improve himself / learn more) is silly in front of the class will help in any way.

You're assuming that every dumb question is asked by a student that is there to learn, and that is a dangerous assumption to make. Dumb questions are often times tools that are used to disrupt the lecture.

Sometimes a student that regularly visits my office hours and pays attention, etc, will ask a silly question or a poorly phrased question. Shit happens, but you have to set standards.

>>751708

>You think shaming them will magically teach them how to ask better questions or think for themselves?

Once again, you prove that you can't read. I don't just "shame" them. I answer their question to the best of my ability IN ADDITION to explaining why it was silly to begin with in order to instigate some common sense.

What is it with overly sensitive people? They can't read!

>>751743
Please, show me my grammatical errors then.

>>751729
>A ton of people know very little about the internet and how does it work.
Those people should learn how to use the tools that are available to them, rather than constantly rely on others to spoonfeed them.

>>751706
>(is the earth round / is the sun revolving around earth?)
Not even those are dumb questions. The person asking those may be just ignorant, but the questions aren't dumb.

>>751737
This is a board about retro gaming, not about hacking modern game consoles to get free money or to run emulators.

>>751731

>All of dat ad hominem

You know, all I said is that his question was dumb, and it was. I never said he was dumb or that any of you were dumb.

Only that you were very, very sensitive. Too sensitive.

Also I don't think I'm better than anyone, but you sure as heck are getting your jimmies rustled by my posts.

>>751761

People have been using fire for a couple of million years and they didn't know how did it work until very recently.
Now anybody can learn how does it work, thanks to other people "spoonfeeding" them the answer, instead of them having to waste other 2 million years figuring it out on their own.

>constantly rely on others to spoonfeed
Do you realize there's a ton of people in the internet? It's not the same person asking the same questions over and over again, dude.

>>751767
How did I turn it? I wasn't talking about "dumb questions". You don't seem to know how anonymous posting works.
I just skimmed this thread and responded to your post, which implied that this board is dedicated to anything that he's asking. It's not.

>>751771
>Keep on butchering
>Not putting a comma

The verb one is legit, ok.

But saying I look really uneducated when some americans post on 4chan with more mistakes than that? Come on now.

>emulation thread
>shit posting everywhere
>not even related to the thread

>>751761
Sure, just tell him what is he doing wrong, where should he go and what should he look for. Just don't tell him he's dumb or that his questions are dumb, cause this isn't a board about embittered people either.

>>751729

I'll start off by saying that he was familiar enough with the internet to come to this specific board on a popular but specific website to upload a goofy non-retro game image and ask a question(as well as wait for an answer) when it literally would have taken him a few seconds to google "how to hack muh wii". I don't want to hear any excuses about it being devoid of intelligence either, because GO BACK AND READ HIS QUESTION, he was literally asking if there was a way he could hack his wii and then STEAL the games from Nintendos VERY OWN servers. Again, are you kidding me? Dumb questions can still be "legit". That doesn't change the fact that by definition, it was devoid of much thought.

>That'd be inappropriate, not dumb. In fact, it could even be a pretty smart question to ask if what the student wants is to waste time or to derail the lecture. Which, yeah, it's not a smart thing to do in the long run, but that's a whole different issue.

It would be inappropriate as well as dumb, I'd argue. Repeated offenses get you permanently kicked out of class. Quite a dumb thing to do, even if you load intelligence into the question.

>>751773
>People have been using fire for a couple of million years and they didn't know how did it work until very recently.
>Now anybody can learn how does it work, thanks to other people "spoonfeeding" them the answer, instead of them having to waste other 2 million years figuring it out on their own.
How is that relevant at all? You're attacking a strawman.
I'm not saying he should reinvent the internet, you fucking retard. I'm saying he should learn how to do a fucking Google search.

>Do you realize there's a ton of people in the internet? It's not the same person asking the same questions over and over again, dude.
And it wouldn't be new people either, if they just searched for the question and saw the ones that were answered in the past.
This is common fucking etiquette; don't ask a question and burden a community if the answer is very easily obtainable. Only when you've exhausted all your resources should you reach out to the community.

>>751279
>It'd be pretty much the same
actually it would be technically (though most likely unoticable to most people) better, since they make pretty much a custom emulator for each game

Stop excusing being ignorant with "Well, other people are more ignorant than me!"
If you're standards for yourself are simply "Be less retarded than most of 4chan," then you're aiming pretty low with your life.

>>751297
a flash cart is about $80 and you can probably pick up an SNES for like $20
that's still less than buying a wii... and less than the fines/lawer fees you would have to pay if nintendo decided to make a scapegoat out of you if they caught you pirating

>>751787

He probably saw some friend with a hacked console playing downloadable games on it, so it's not really a farfetched question.

>Repeated offenses get you permanently kicked out of class.
Are we assuming they're doing it repeatedly? Maybe they don't want to go to class, maybe they want to attract attention, maybe they have some mental disorder like an attention deficit, maybe they really lack the mental capacity to be in that class, or maybe they are really curious people that really like to know a lot of things.
In any case, none of those scenarios make the question themselves dumb.

All you have is conjecture, anon. The bottom line is that in this hypothetical scenario, disrupting class is not tolerable. I'm sure you know how to do my job much better than I do.

Stop assuming that you're talking with one person, faggot

OP, I hope you're still here and haven't abandoned thread yet. I'll try to give you a good answer.

There are ways and means to install your own software on to the Wii, some of which include emulators that can be used to play whatever games you wish for the respective system. You can also install games from the retro shop in the form of .wad files (the file format used by the Wii for installing those games).

I won't link you to anything since I'm quite drunk and don't want to lead you astray, but here's the general step to take:

Install the 'homebrew channel', this is a simple program you can install to your Wii that will allow you to run many homebrew programs, including emulators and tools to install retro store games.

From here, you can either get some emulators or a .wad installer to get the games you like running.

You may also want to install some custom firmware (which will be very well detailed on homebrew wikis and forums) that will allow you to run downloaded Wii and Gamecube games.

In terms of accuracy and quality of emulation, the Wii is pretty good for SNES & Megadrive (and earlier systems). Anything newer than that and you're in to not great territory. PS1 and N64 is really PC-domain stuff. GBA emulation is even a bit slow!

I'm gonna stick around for a bit and keep drinking vodka, I'll try to answer any questions you have.

>>751884

The guy even told him to come back if he had more dumb questions. He didn't care. But he also wasn't afraid to point out the fucking obvious and the obvious was that the question was fucking dumb.

Get over it. None of you are getting pussy for being a "good guy" on the internet.

You've obviously never lurked any decent IRC channel or tech help website. This shit is common sense in any echelon of technical help. Just look at what happens with repeat questions on stackoverflow.
If you ask a stupidly easy question to find on any IRC channel, you'll be lucky if people don't tell you to figure it out yourself. If somebody does help you, they'll finish helping you by telling you that you could easily have found the answer yourself and to do some searches before bothering a large group of people.
I'm glad to help a guy out, but I'm not going to be nice to somebody who obviously expended no effort on independent research before expecting to be told the answer.

Let's look again at that post you made that was butchering English.

>Using a tool != Knowing how does the tool work.

"Knowing how does the tool work". It's shit like this that makes me wonder why you're even trying to post in English in the first place. I applaud your effort and understand what you meant, but he made it to 4chan and just as you're assuming he's ignorant, I'm assuming he isn't because I like to place more faith in people here than that.

As for the rest of what you posted, again, it was ALL conjecture. All of it. You cannot argue with conjecture. End of story. If you don't like it, then make a better argument.

Stop getting so fucking upset over facts.

Once again, it's not a study of all women and men in the world.

And anyway, women are more emotional because of hormones. But that doesn't mean that they will cry at anything as you think they would.

>What was wrong with those sentences? I can't just ask Google about it and if you don't tell me I will never know what was wrong with them.

"Knowing how does tool work" isn't right. "Knowing how a tool works" would have been correct.

>Right back at you. You're assuming that guy has the same knowledge as you, and that's why you think his answer is dumb, but that's an obviously wrong assumption.

I never assumed that the guy has the same knowledge as me. I also don't think his "answer" is dumb, but I think his "question" is dumb. You may want to study up on your English.

Again, it isn't wrong to want to instigate a standard of common sense. He wanted to steal games DIRECTLY from Nintendo's servers.

I find it HILARIOUS that these same people that can't read what OP wanted to do in the first place also can't construct English sentences properly.

>Once again, it's not a study of all women and men in the world.

It doesn't have to be. It's a SAMPLE study. You very ignorant on how sociologists even conduct these studies, aren't you?

>And anyway, women are more emotional because of hormones. But that doesn't mean that they will cry at anything as you think they would.

Okay, so you concede to the fact that they're more emotional anyway, even though you just called me a horrible person that will die alone for saying the same thing?

And as for that last bit, when did I even SAY that? I didn't. Stop putting words in my mouth.

>Maybe if you got out of your mom's basement you could actually meet real girls and see for yourself.

My mother is dead, and has been for a long time, anon. Thanks for that.

>>751976

>I wasn't even the guy who said that.

My mistake. I'm not the only one getting mixed up though.

>The greentext was showing how fucking stupid you are. There's a lot of it? Because you're a fucking morron who says tons of shit.

I never said there was "a lot of" anything. Can you read?

>>752000
I'm glad she managed to find a way to never see you again. Good for her.

>>751984
>"Knowing how a tool works" would have been correct.
Thanks for telling me.

>He wanted to steal games DIRECTLY from Nintendo's servers.
No, he wanted to play retro games on his wii and he ASKED if such a thing was possible.

> You may want to study up on your English.
I do. Constantly. Expressing yourself correctly in another language is not an easy task. Tell me, do you know other languages other than English?

>>751965
With how much you brought it up, either you honestly believe that everybody who was offended is actually a female, or you were using "having ovaries" as an insult.
They're pretty retarded for getting so upset, but you're backpedaling here, and it's really not working. You can't call somebody a woman as an insult and then somehow claim that it's not sexist or not a bad thing to be emotional. You're hurting your own credibility, and contradicting yourself.

>>752005

Let me summarize this thread for any newcomers:

>OP asks dumb question about stealing games DIRECTLY from Nintendo's Wii Shop.
>Couple guys help him out, point him in the right direction, but say question was dumb
>The feelings police come to his defense even though OP didn't even return and post
>The feelings police can't even properly type out English sentences, say people are dicks and insensitive
>One makes the usual "hurr hurr you're in your mom's basement" ad hominem to an anon whose mother is dead
>"Ha yeah, that'll show those DICKS!!"

I'm pretty sure this is just /pol/ masquerading as tumblr feminists to shit up our board. I mean, shit, one of them got so angry at a scientific STUDY.

>>752023
Not him, but I do.
You have to get used to it here. American daytime 4chan assumes that everybody is American, and therefore is a retard if they don't speak English perfectly.
If you're not retarded, it's pretty easy to tell the difference between a lazy shit who doesn't care about learning the language (as many Brazilians are, as well as some Australians, and many Americans themselves) and somebody who is legitimately trying but slips up on a few constructs.

>>752026

My credibility? I'm >>751914

Not the teacher that you're arguing with.

Are you people really that new to imageboards? I haven't seen so many mix-ups in a LONG time

>>752045
I know who you are.
I'm saying that alternately saying "gaping vaginas" and "confirmed for having ovaries", and then turning around and saying that women being more emotional is "not a bad thing" implies one of two things:
1: You honestly think that everybody who was offended is literally a woman
2: You are using it as an insult, confirming your inlying misogyny and belying your statement that it's "not a bad thing".

You are either retarded, or contradicting yourself.

>>752023

>Thanks for telling me.

You're welcome.

>No, he wanted to play retro games on his wii and he ASKED if such a thing was possible.

Just re-read his post: "Hello i had a question,
i wanted to have a retro console, so i thought maybe there was a way to hack a wii and dowload unlimited stuff from the retro game shoop (snes games mostly), is there a way to do that? will it be better than a regular windows emulator?

thanks"

From the "retro game shoop". Which I of course read to be "shop". Places like Coolrom aren't shops. But the Wii does have a Wii Shop that offers retro games, specifically, SNES games.

All in all, the question was worded very poorly.

>I do. Constantly. Expressing yourself correctly in another language is not an easy task. Tell me, do you know other languages other than English?

Good! Keep up the good work. I'm aware. But then again, I don't go on foreign image boards and attempt to participate in heavy discussions where mastery of the languages would help me communicate better. I keep things nice and simple.

>>752061

Why would you be offended by someone calling a question dumb?

Grow some balls

>>752069
>nice and simple

So you never use your other language because you're not using language for communication?

>>752076
I never would be. If you'd pay some attention, I was saying that they are retarded for being offended (I said that in the post that was literally immediately before yours), but you contradicting yourself left and right is not helping your case.
Dropping middle-school insults, and then trying to backpedal saying that it wasn't an insult, but that you thought everybody you were talking to was female is infantile.

>>752061

Of course I'm using it as an insult. Why wouldn't I? Look how upset all of you get over this bullshit. It's ridiculous.

>>752082

I didn't say that. I was implying that perhaps you should study English more until you reach a point where you feel you can communicate better.

>>752094
If you're using it as an insult, why would you say "there's nothing wrong with it" and try so hard to defend your character.
Just embrace your misogyny, whatever, rant about your problems on >>>/r9k/. Just know that calling people "gaping vaginas" and defaulting to calling people women when you don't agree with them is very childish. Women are more emotional than men. This is true.
Predominately black inner-city slums have much higher incidences of crime. This is also true.
You'd do just as well trying to be taken seriously by calling everybody a bunch of "fucking niggers" every time crime is brought up.
As an educator, I'd expect you to be more privy to encouraging debates where you actually focus on the point at hand, rather than letting your personal bigotries define what you disagree with.

tl;dr: Being offended was stupid, but it had nothing to do with women being more emotional than men, and you just shat all over the discussion by even bringing it up in the first place.

>>752093

I re-read your post, and you never said that. Check yourself.

>>752061

But at this point I'm just nitpicking, aren't I?

Question, why are you so offended by the truth?

>>752069
If you want to get really technical about it, I'm sure you actually can hack Nintendo's server and download things from there. It just takes mad hacking skills, but it is possible. So his question wasn't dumb.

Popularity is a bitch. Not many people like retro games in my country. Or videogames in general. Or anime. In any case, you don't need to master any language in order to communicate with other people, dude. Of course the more you know about it, the easier it'll be to communicate, but really, even native speakers make mistakes.

>>752139
>Question, why are you so offended by the truth?
I'm not.
Women are more emotional than men.
It's also obviously not relevant to the point at hand.
