WODE Jukebox for the Wii - can put GC games on hard drive!

[gtmtnbiker]

The difference is that FlatMii requires a computer to be hooked up. The WODE is a self-contained mini-computer that only needs a hard drive.

The FlatMii is $50 while the WODE is $100. Can you find a cheap/tiny/low power PC for $50?

March will be a GREAT month for WODE

One of the cool things that I'm interested in is the Wii channel feature which is in beta. The idea of being able to select a gamecube game via the Wii channel interface seems awesome. In the beta thread, they're in the process of adding code to automatically download gamecube covers, etc so it's similar to the USB Loaders for the Wii.

I think the cheapest place that I found the WODE for was $90. I'll do a little more research and hopefully place my order tonight.

I read about the streaming audio fix and they said they couldn't do it with the flat mod at the same time.
I was thinking people that want to use USB hardrive wouldn't really want to use FLAT mod either way. I'd personally prefer 100% USB Hard drive compatability with Wii and Gamecube games rather than Disc compatability.
