you think this could mean badnews for nintendo if it is simple enough to install and burn the games?

or maybe even be bull crap?

EDIT here is a pic of the chip http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=13887

I'd much rather see a rom interface (either via network, SD, or disc) so I can play some...homebrew games.

i think nintendo is allowing people to publish there own games on VC in the future. not sure i saw something like that on the maxconsole homepage also

it looks to be using that dvd firmware bypass approach that worked on some of the xbox 360s. i would not count this one out quite yet..

Like what? I could guess maybe no dependency or something - no warranty, but what else?

i heard of some chips just being faulty, damaging the cube after awhile, very difficult to install (doesnt apply here), and horrible service

you can take a look here most of the threads are about problems

I've installed chips and hard drives in PS2s and chips in PSXs. I'm going to leave my Wii and Cube alone. I'm sure that the chips will be out one day, but I think I'll stick to playing my original games.

another chip!
http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=13934 this looks like it could be flashable not sure but definitly my pick over the wiinja if it is
so far it's looking to be almost the exact same though

Yeah both are the same featurewise. Its going to be interesting to see how this develops with respect to virtual console games.
