[Zeus]

The following video shows how one modder managed to boot a Wii backup disc via a parallel port cable soldered to the drive board.

Destroy all legacy connections!

Im looking at you parallel and serial ports. :eek:

What program can you use to to display a/v inputs?

[gboshort]

What program can you use to to display a/v inputs?

It's probably a multi input LCD, running split screen.

can use a cap card or lcd mon

Nah, it's just a TV tuner card. You even see him hit the button on the window to make it go full screen. I've been using them for years now, they're great space savers when you have a small room or a dorm.

EDIT: Darn, beaten to it. Yeah, it could also be a capture card. They sell those on Woot all the time. It's like a TV tuner, minus the TV.

[sir crx]

I knew you guys would do that.

Im not asking how he did it because I have 3 video inputs on my computer, all I need to know is what program you can use to choose which input you want it from. The way I have to do it is use windows media center and there is a 2 second delay in video feed so playing games is useless.

any prog that allows video in like
vdub
or any capture program

Upload the program! Talk about a cheap mod...

That black is a plastic sheet that covers more screws, guess you never took yours apart, huh? ;).

I was asking to be specific, not "any prog". I can never get a legit answer from maxconsole.

Forget I even said anything.

He did suggest a program.. vdub.. aka virtualdub.

It looks like he's probably using AloneTrio's program which was released a couple of days ago.

The same LPT1 Cable with DVD Iso Loader works with my mod, too ;)

But i´am can disconnect the LPT1 Cable ;) and use Chips, too.

[[ACF]Umax]

lol, he has a medion setup. Probably a German guy, aswell.

[Textbook]

Nope, I'm American.

KWorld Xpert PCI video capture card

Wabmodcheap for the loader

( I used Syndicate's loader , it also works fine, loads the game but displays annoying sync messages forever )

[eprom]

you can find a portuguese version of running games via lpt cable here

WABs release is a step below syndicate's release for one reason.. I cant get any GC to boot with WABs but they work perfectly with syndicates patcher.

[eprom]

yeah thats true syndicates version for GC backups works better.
