Finally I got all my save games on a SD card. Including Brawl, World of Goo, Eledees and Castlevania 3. These games have no copy option, so I had to hack my Wii. I actually had to install a old bug Nintendo has removed with firmware updates to get to work. Yeah, all the trouble for a simple save. 

Now my saves are save, I will try to get starpatch to run. Wow all the hacking, hope my Wii does not get self aware.

I don't understand why they lock some saves. It certainly doesn't stop hackers, so why bother? Why can't I have multiple towns in Animal Crossing if I want? Why can't I bring my Mario Kart save file over to a friends house? It's stupid of them to limit the fun I could have with the games that I've purchased.

 The bigger problem, what if you Wii breaks down. Games like Galaxy and NSMBWii are no problem, I will finish them again. But no way in hell am I going to get all the trophies again in Brawl. So locking that game in particular is stupid. The reason all the locked games have some online functionality. They are afraid someone is going to cheat. Still idiotic! Nintendo is basically forcing me to hack my Wii here.

It's becoming rampant, and the first thing it's going to say to you is:

"Why Iga? Why did you force me to play Metroid games?"

Then you're going to die, and the rest of us shortly afterwards. I hope you're happy with what you've done.

 I am God I can't die.

You guys however, yeah! Tough luck.

Fuck no!

Peter Moore:

"Our relationship with Tiger has always been rooted in golf. We didn't form a relationship with him so that he could act as an arm's length endorser. Far from it. We chose to partner with Tiger in 1997 because we saw him as the world's best, most talented and exciting golfer. We struck that partnership with the assumption that he would remain near or at the top of his sport for years to come.

"By his own admission, he's made some mistakes off the course. But regardless of what's happening in his personal life, and regardless of his decision to take a personal leave from the sport, Tiger Woods is still one of the greatest athletes in history. At EA SPORTS, we make authentic sports simulations. When we say "It's in the Game", it is not just a tag line but a statement about the quality and authenticity of the game experience. Tiger Woods PGA TOUR Online is truly representative of that rallying cry, and a game that all of us at EA SPORTS are proud to be delivering this month to sports fans around the globe."

NBA Jam returns, now that is awesome, and a great move by EA.  It's a brand that is not only good, but a good fit for the Wii.  Now let's see execution follow through.

I love Jam.  Does EA BIG still do NBA Street?  That was a decent spiritual successor.

Before Jam, Midway used the same type of gameplay on Arch Rivals (which I played on the Megadrive/ Genesis).  It had much the same feeling. 

Bayonetta GS review 360 version 9.0, PS3 8.0

This is pretty sad. I thought the days of bad PS3 ports were long gone.

Guys I have found a couple of cool products that will take your Wii 480p signal through components and upscale it to HD through a box and output via HDMI

The Wii HD thread Converting SD to 720p or 1080p: Solutions inside

Reviews here on page 2

"What even impressed me more was the fact when using the XCM 1080p Mega Cool VGA box with the Nintendo Wii you could get rid of the nasty jagged polygon edges that bother a lot of people. Yeah, once you upgrade the 480i resolution to a higher one the jaggies (as they call them) disappear leaving you with a crystal clear picture."

Pretty much. It's all a matter of money, after all.
