In defence of NewoShooter I will say that I might have been a bit over my head at the time but the experience of making my first homebrew game in C - from scratch - made me stronger in the end.
Hey man didn't expect to see you in the comments! Unlike the devil's advocate, I can tell how impressive programming something like that is. Amazing stuff. I really like the other games you've done on the Wii too Newo Zero is the shit
I seem to be a long time subscriber. Got about 5 new followers on Twitter and I was like waa? . This video my be the thing that gets me into the Wii iceberg. Funny thing it only took 10+ years of practice to reach to NewoZero. Imagine releasing it in 2010.
My wii has basically turned into the easiest way to do emulation on my CRT. I play SNES, PC Engine/CD, Genesis, and GBA on it. It's so nice to play rom hacks and translations this way without having actual hardware.
I am so glad that I am not the only one who does this exact thing. Those cheap component cables on a nice crt is probably the cheapest way to get a clean image on a crt and play all of your retro consoles on a budget.
GoldsrcGX is a dead project. I was the one who started it. Sorry i disappointed you all. I have no free time to work on the project anymore. I haven't even worked on it since before we switched to xash. I am really sorry to let you all down. If anyone seeks to takeover the project, i would be glad to turnover everything that i have. Thank you all and again I am really sorry to let everyone down.
I know that it might be hard to comprehend when I said this, are you willing to give the project to someone's hands to keep improving the project and able to to get the project done for good?
Hello! Former developer on Xash3D Wii here (or Division Zero, whatever). Honestly, did not expect it to be mentioned here at all. The main issue was mostly, in my opinion, lack of motivation, experience and overall time. Most developers on it (of which there were like, 3? if i remember right?) were still in school with little to no experience with actual Wii hardware. The only person actually getting work done was one person, who I think was named Saucesaft, who got pretty far in development and essentially carried it, God rest his soul, but even he eventually lost interest/time and stopped doing anything with it. In the end, after nearly a year of nothing getting done, I opted to make an announcement that the project had been essentially abandoned. I still think the Wii deserves a Half-Life port, but to be completely honest, the people we had working on it simply were not cut out for the task. If we had a proper development team, with good 3D programming and Wii hardware experience, we would have probably been done, but it fell victim to what most overambitious projects do. It's a shame, really
@@Dash120z I could see Activision being petty enough to sue players for keeping the servers active on games they want to shutdown. *I hope those execs die screaming.*
whether it's console retrospectives like this or you bullying a $8 laptop, i do a big smile whenever you upload. thank you bringus, keep gaming and trucking
When you said "they have a value beyond what you can see or beyond what you can experience playing them" that was huge. But if I can go back to the core question of "why do this?", as a gameboy homebrew dev I've always found it a fun learning experience. I do it for myself. I'd rather make a bad/experimental game on cool hardware than to make something that gets swallowed up with all the other indie PC games.
completley agree with the education part, cant say iv created anything as bold as the homebrew games shown, i havent even made any personal project games at all. but the learning experience of how a console works seems like one of the first reasons that came to mind when thinking about it. its easy to take things for what they are but understanding how they work is more important.
I was playing the talos principle again, giving it another try, and I remember one of the audio logs saying something I found kind of profound about, paraphrasing here, how we are hardwired in our DNA to solve problems and not just out of necessity but we do it for fun too. I think thats the appeal of modding hardware and doing emulation because you are discovering new utility outside of the intended purpose of the device and that in and of itself is rewarding and fun.
CTGP-R 200cc has a fast falling mechanic where if you push the stick or tilt the Wiimote forward, you'll nosedive and fall much quicker than usual. It was added specifically to compensate for gaining too much air when going off ramps in 200cc.
Super Mario Galaxy also has great, large mods that are worth mentioning. "Super Mario Gravity" for example is an upcoming mod with custom levels and is supposed to be bigger than the original two Galaxy games and is even absolutely Nintendo quality (it's basically the Mario Galaxy 3 we need lol).
I’m just 13, but Galaxy and other Wii titles still feel so nice to play today. I wasn’t alive when they came out but i can still appreciate things for how they used to be.
I modded my Wii later on and it was my gateway to classic games on my CRT thanks to most third party emulators having 240p support. Still is the simplest way to get a pretty capable system plugged into a CRT for 2D games. Back when you could actually give Nintendo money for VC games, they supported 240p too. Add in Gamecube support and the Wii remains an amazing entry point into retro gaming.
Annoyingly, many Virtual Console games *only* support 240p. Lots of modern displays don't support resolutions that low so you straight up just can't play them cause the TV just says "no signal" when you open them
@@benfll I wonder if there are fan servers for the Wii version of super Street fighter 2 turbo. I mean I already have the 30th anniversary collection but it'd be neat to see it working.
Your video made me boot up my Wii for the first time in like 15 years, only to find my Smash Bros Melee disc inside. I started crying instantly as I thought I lost this game years ago and have deep core memories with the game. I’m now buying the controllers! I’m so excited to play this game again after so many years
I value homebrew because I enjoy that I can. It’s an extension of the people that jailbroke the system. The intrinsic value is sticking it to the man that said you couldn’t.
1:44 No actually seriously, that version of Driver San Francisco is a hidden gem. I never played the other versions of this, but I did find myself spending hours just racing around the city in dozens of different vehicles, way after the story was done.
Figuring out how to use homebrew to get the full Guitar Hero DLC catalogue on my Wii was a PAINFUL process with a bunch of dead-ends (I never did figure out how to “assemble” a program), but now I have Warriors of Rock running on a USB stick with a grand total of *699 playable songs.* Life is good.
That is, what has fascinated me on the Wii, the possibilities of the hombrew software. The first time i tried it out, i actually wanted to try some Game-Cube games, that i had on my hard drive, but i was so fascinated with the homebrew (-channel) and the capabilities of the console, that i completly forgot about the Game-Cube games. There was some kind of a super hero game, where you are like some kind of Super Man fighting enemies, that spawn randomly in a city between skyscrapers. There was nothing more to do, you have no timer, only a score counter (for the defeated enemies) and you could fly around and goof around and it was actually boring. But something about it fascinated me, it has something unique to it. The other thing, that i found very interesting, was Quake on the Wii, it is still kind of crazy to me (in consideration of the wii's hardware, it technically should work flawless, but still), but there it was, Quake on the Wii, as crazy as it sounds to me... I think i should buy a Wii again, just for that (and some other things, i would like to try out) 😂 Now i get the Urge to revive my modded 2DS to look into the homebrew channel again (and to install quake and quake ii) 😂 Thank you for that video, it brings back some nice memories. 👍
ctgp was my homebrew awakening, the fact that you could play custom fan made mario kart tracks on your wii was so awesome to me that I wanted to homebrew my wii ever since I was a kid, even buying an sd card from gamestop and asking the guy who worked there if he knew how to homebrew a wii

10:54 Hi, I think your roms need to be in ISO Form, Due to the Load Iso button being there, and you loading the bin file, If that doesn’t work, try loading the cue file first, due to the fact it is suppose to start the rom up correctly.

Y'know. I put this shit on for background noise and some good ol' nostalgia while I packed for a trip and ended up sitting down captivated by the ending and man. I love your shit, 10/10 creator, channel, and general dude.
I played the Mario Kart Arcade on my 18th birthday but the arcade closed down due to covid and the machines got spread all over the place. LUCKILY the machines I care about are now at another place closeby to me but... they now cost way more to play T_T They even have Dance Dance revolution and most importantly INITIAL D ARCADE STAGE and i am one of the biggest Initial D fans.
Dude, just found your channel and went through a handful of videos. LOVE what you have going here, absolutely subscribed Also I would 100% watch that cursed Mario 64 stream
That moment as a kid, when you realize with enough knowledge you can literally manipulate all the machinery you were using to do your bidding is amazing. That's how I deleted all the games on my chinese bootleg handheld.
I modded a wii for the first time a few years ago, I really enjoyed it, but then I got a wii u and it did everything the wii did but more, plus it has the best xenoblade game (chronicles x).
Oh man.. the Wii was absolutely my childhood, I remember anxiously waiting for mainline games to launch, and the best part is that I slide into the 13-17 age range :)
Haven't really had a good place to hook up my modded wii in like 4 years. I do still have PC, but main, playing stuff on a modded wii with actual gamecube controllers just feels so much better.
Dude you blew my mind with the references. I had the EXACT SAME childhood experience with Wii softmodding. I did take the SD card from the family camera.
Ah... the struggle of being a kid with no money. It's 𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 nostalgic. Also, I've been following you for like 6 years and had no idea you were ever into console modding. Pretty dope.
fun fact the mania port is really impressive and just barely fits within the system limitations, you cant even run v5u (the engine version of retro engine/rsdk for origins with support for sonic 1 2 and cd) due to stuff with ram and too many variables
This is the best video ever seen in my whole life regarding Wii and the community! Wow! I'm actually impressed! I am a member of Wii community and what I do is making custom forwarder channels. And I can say that that's a fricking amazing video! Great job man!
I homebrewed my Wii back in 2010 and spent part of that summer playing Super Mario 64. I was emulating it on my PC, but I had a subpar eMachines from circa '07. The Wii ran it so much better. I haven't done much modding with my Wii for years. This is making me wanna get back into doing more with it
PS1 and N64 emulation run far better on Wii U due to a stronger CPU. While vWii is limited severely, Wii Virtual Console can be overclocked to am even faster speed than Wii U mode. (Only using one core helps the heat issue)
Xash3D FWGS maintainer here. Nintendo Wii wouldn't be an easy port because as far as I know, Wii has a PowerPC CPU, which is exclusively Big Endian and there is absolutely no support for it. There were some patches, I can help porting them over but I don't have anything that's big endian around me. To be honest, it would make sense to port to some other friendlier to debug platform that's big endian. Like old Macs or Sun workstations and then go work with the Wii.
One of the best videos I have watched recently. Great commentary filled with funny clips, interesting topics, and the occasional reference or callout to something that helps display the emotion he is trying to convey perfectly. Well done!
Jokes on you, I'm part of that 4.4% and I still love playing Wii games! I never realized how much homebrew stuff there was for the Wii, I should check out some more of that stuff!
ur story abt the wii rly made me get the feelsies, cuz i went thru a lot of the same vibes. my first foray into emulation and console mods was the little ol wii, and i have adored it every little moment of finding what strange new thing it can run here n there... so thank u bringus
I remember playing so much Brawl Minus in my college dormitory on my friend's wii. It might still be my fav version of smash and definitely my prefered way of playing Brawl
The Wii was also the first console I modded. I wanted to play Japanese games, especially this one piece game that was only out in Japan. Modded it lets you bypass the region lock
Homebrew is valuable by itself because the options are truly endless. It's art without limits. You can talk about anything, you can show anything, that's where the value is. Not because the another ones can't, but by being the truth representation of the heart of the creator.
Modding a Wii for the first time must be how it felt to gain eyes on the inside. Suddenly every self-proclaimed truth of the world becomes irrelevant and infantile.
I have a modded Wii (as well as Wii U), and a Wii Guitar Hero controller. I've plenty of experience with Wii U modding and tinkering, but Wii seemed more finicky at the time (probably ~2 years ago now). Anyone have any tips for how to get Guitar Hero 5/World Tour working on a Wii? I have the ROM files and the Wii is modded already.
I graduated when the Wii and PS3 came out... I actually sold my first Wii to pay for my first apartment back when they were impossible to find lol...crazy times.
11:09 Even if it was real you can't really use that 10 TB on the Wii. The sd card must be formated to FAT32 which only supports up to 32 GB There is a way to get it formated to FAT32 with 10 TB memory. You can use a tool (if using Windows) and then delete the 32 GB partition. It won't get recognised by the Wii though. Without deleting the partition it works fine with 32 GB
Wrong. FAT32 supports up to 2 TB. Some format utilities refuse to format anything larger than 32 GB as FAT32, but the filesystem itself supports up to 2 TB.
hello. I use a 256GB micro SD for Wii and they work perfectly. They have to be class 10. I have the Toshiba brand. They are expensive but worth it. I have a 512GB micro SD and that has given me problems in emulation. the games don't run smoothly
@@0arsoluto0arsoluto70 An SD card with more than 32 GB doesn't get recognized by the Wii. You probably formatted it to FAT32 and it automatically only uses 32 GB. The rest is just unnecessary.
@@KopperNeoman I'm a bit late but just saw this. Yes, you're right. But the Wii still only supports FAT32 formatted SD cards with 32 GB assigned. I tried using a 64 GB SD card formatted to FAT32 with the full 64 GB but it didn't work. When I made a partition with only 32 GB assigned it worked fine
This is why I bought the Wii back in 2011 when I was 15. I knew how much potential it had after you softmodded it. Back when Brawl or some other compatible game was required to load the software. Now you can just send "letterbomb" by putting your Mac address into the website. Takes like 5 minutes lol
I absolutely love the Wii. When I was growing up, the Wii was the most popular console, I was born a bit after the time of the NES, SNES, and other "retro" consoles. I always feel like I just missed the boat for that era. Now I'm able to emulate all these older games and consoles that I missed out on, and play all my Wii games. After abandoning my console for a decade, I picked it back up and have been modding, playing, and most importantly having a blast. Thank you for sharing this video, and for appreciating the homebrew/modding scene as much as I do. Legendary stuff my fella
Definitely will give some of those Triforce arcade games a try- I have basically every game I would ever want to play on my Wii U, and have it acting as a Wii and GameCube out of convenience. Never seen or played any of Nintendo's Triforce arcade games though.
In my years, I've "rescued" at least 10 Wiis from yard sales and the first thing I do when I get home is Homebrew mod them. I then give them as gifts to family members who appreciate classics. Unfortunately, the one I gave to my mom about 10 years ago still sits on her entertainment center, un-played since the day I gave it to her ("Ooh, I like Frogger.").

slippy launcher can also be modded to run versions of PM+ in a recent update, and you can do it over most other ad-hoc servers locally, too.
Dude, just found your channel and went through a handful of videos. LOVE what you have going here, absolutely subscribed
Also I would 100% watch that cursed Mario 64 stream
That moment as a kid, when you realize with enough knowledge you can literally manipulate all the machinery you were using to do your bidding is amazing.
That's how I deleted all the games on my chinese bootleg handheld.
I modded a wii for the first time a few years ago, I really enjoyed it, but then I got a wii u and it did everything the wii did but more, plus it has the best xenoblade game (chronicles x).
Oh man.. the Wii was absolutely my childhood, I remember anxiously waiting for mainline games to launch, and the best part is that I slide into the 13-17 age range :)
Haven't really had a good place to hook up my modded wii in like 4 years. I do still have PC, but main, playing stuff on a modded wii with actual gamecube controllers just feels so much better.
god i love that game. i played that game so much. so many memories playing that game. im so glad you feel the same about it
I was not expecting my Wii Homebrew Video to turn into a philosophical video essay at the end there
My friends and I used to play Brawl with the emulator set to 110% speed. It actually played really well.
The only playable version of brawl lol
Funniest part about people throwing the Wiimote at their TV is you had to be SWINGING it! But waggle works perfectly fine 😂
NewoZero beta v3.41 is up for testing now. Looking testers. And before you ask; NO, I cannot add online multiplayer.
Dude you blew my mind with the references. I had the EXACT SAME childhood experience with Wii softmodding.
I did take the SD card from the family camera.
Ah... the struggle of being a kid with no money. It's 𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 nostalgic.
Also, I've been following you for like 6 years and had no idea you were ever into console modding. Pretty dope.
@@BringusStudioswhat’s your discord, you seem like a dude I’d want to be friends with.
fun fact the mania port is really impressive and just barely fits within the system limitations, you cant even run v5u (the engine version of retro engine/rsdk for origins with support for sonic 1 2 and cd) due to stuff with ram and too many variables
To me sonic one, two, and cd aren’t as impressive as mania because you can just emulate them. Mania, on the other hand, is a modern game.
This is the best video ever seen in my whole life regarding Wii and the community! Wow! I'm actually impressed! I am a member of Wii community and what I do is making custom forwarder channels. And I can say that that's a fricking amazing video! Great job man!
thank you for the wads my friend
I'm 15 and I still think the Wii is still relevant
Once I heard the homebrew channel music kick in, I was jamming. God, that music hit different back then, and it still hits that hard
The music on the Wii was the best part
I homebrewed my Wii back in 2010 and spent part of that summer playing Super Mario 64. I was emulating it on my PC, but I had a subpar eMachines from circa '07. The Wii ran it so much better. I haven't done much modding with my Wii for years. This is making me wanna get back into doing more with it
I have a Wii U and use WiiSXR to play playstation games. Spyro plays decently ranging from 45-55fps.
PS1 and N64 emulation run far better on Wii U due to a stronger CPU. While vWii is limited severely, Wii Virtual Console can be overclocked to am even faster speed than Wii U mode. (Only using one core helps the heat issue)
2:36 bro is holding a bong🤣🤣🤣
hey this is a masterpiece and i thank youtube for recommending it to me so early. subscribed
We went from: "If it has a screen the lorax can be seen" to "If it can be done on the nintendo wii it can run"
Xash3D FWGS maintainer here.
Nintendo Wii wouldn't be an easy port because as far as I know, Wii has a PowerPC CPU, which is exclusively Big Endian and there is absolutely no support for it. There were some patches, I can help porting them over but I don't have anything that's big endian around me.
To be honest, it would make sense to port to some other friendlier to debug platform that's big endian. Like old Macs or Sun workstations and then go work with the Wii.
idtech2 , the quake 2 engine, would be easier to port? just asking since it's open source
@@elwey7552 high chances somebody already made a port of Quake 2 on the Wii, why do you ask?
@TheA1batross because i didn't find any quake 2 port to wii
i haven't searched much so i will dig deeper
nvm i found one
@@elwey7552 idk just putting quake 2 wii to search bar gave me a few promising results
One of the best videos I have watched recently. Great commentary filled with funny clips, interesting topics, and the occasional reference or callout to something that helps display the emotion he is trying to convey perfectly. Well done!
can't agree more this video is top tier for every reason
The Wii is such a cool console! I have one myself and I love playing on it now and then.
I had one ....cinsidering buying one again to mod it
Someone being childhood-like nostalgia for the Wii makes me feel old.
This was a beautiful video, Thanks Bingus for another great time!
I GOT FUCKING CHILLS FROM THAT HOMEBREW REMIX
Jokes on you, I'm part of that 4.4% and I still love playing Wii games! I never realized how much homebrew stuff there was for the Wii, I should check out some more of that stuff!
ur story abt the wii rly made me get the feelsies, cuz i went thru a lot of the same vibes. my first foray into emulation and console mods was the little ol wii, and i have adored it every little moment of finding what strange new thing it can run here n there... so thank u bringus
I remember playing so much Brawl Minus in my college dormitory on my friend's wii. It might still be my fav version of smash and definitely my prefered way of playing Brawl
I wouldn't say Wii Sports was my favorite game but it has to be its the one I played the most
The Wii was also the first console I modded. I wanted to play Japanese games, especially this one piece game that was only out in Japan. Modded it lets you bypass the region lock
Homebrew is valuable by itself because the options are truly endless. It's art without limits. You can talk about anything, you can show anything, that's where the value is. Not because the another ones can't, but by being the truth representation of the heart of the creator.
I love these previous gen consoles videos. I was wondering if you could make a video like this for the DS/DSi or PS Vita.....
I have a DS video out on the channel already actually, as well as a PSP one. The Vita is on my roadmap for the future!
2:35 bro got a bong as a prop 💀
Modding a Wii for the first time must be how it felt to gain eyes on the inside. Suddenly every self-proclaimed truth of the world becomes irrelevant and infantile.
It feels right to play the games on a console from their time.
Bro uses 10TB for Wii games 💀
What is 10TB these days, though. It's like 130$.
And it'd be both Wii and GCN.
Bro exists 💀
@@ohajohaha4 TB is 130
@@redmarine2717 i see 4tb for 100 and... i see 8tb for 160.
My first introduction to modding was a good old Pro softmod on psp
I have a modded Wii (as well as Wii U), and a Wii Guitar Hero controller. I've plenty of experience with Wii U modding and tinkering, but Wii seemed more finicky at the time (probably ~2 years ago now). Anyone have any tips for how to get Guitar Hero 5/World Tour working on a Wii? I have the ROM files and the Wii is modded already.
I graduated when the Wii and PS3 came out... I actually sold my first Wii to pay for my first apartment back when they were impossible to find lol...crazy times.
11:09 Even if it was real you can't really use that 10 TB on the Wii.
The sd card must be formated to FAT32 which only supports up to 32 GB
There is a way to get it formated to FAT32 with 10 TB memory.
You can use a tool (if using Windows) and then delete the 32 GB partition.
It won't get recognised by the Wii though.
Without deleting the partition it works fine with 32 GB
Wrong. FAT32 supports up to 2 TB. Some format utilities refuse to format anything larger than 32 GB as FAT32, but the filesystem itself supports up to 2 TB.
hello. I use a 256GB micro SD for Wii and they work perfectly. They have to be class 10. I have the Toshiba brand. They are expensive but worth it. I have a 512GB micro SD and that has given me problems in emulation. the games don't run smoothly
@@0arsoluto0arsoluto70 An SD card with more than 32 GB doesn't get recognized by the Wii. You probably formatted it to FAT32 and it automatically only uses 32 GB. The rest is just unnecessary.
@@NightVision402 all content on the micro sd is executable
@@KopperNeoman I'm a bit late but just saw this. Yes, you're right. But the Wii still only supports FAT32 formatted SD cards with 32 GB assigned. I tried using a 64 GB SD card formatted to FAT32 with the full 64 GB but it didn't work. When I made a partition with only 32 GB assigned it worked fine
This is why I bought the Wii back in 2011 when I was 15. I knew how much potential it had after you softmodded it. Back when Brawl or some other compatible game was required to load the software. Now you can just send "letterbomb" by putting your Mac address into the website. Takes like 5 minutes lol
I just got a Wii in 2023.
So... did it blew up?
Bruhhhhh
I’m in 24 and got one
I absolutely love the Wii. When I was growing up, the Wii was the most popular console, I was born a bit after the time of the NES, SNES, and other "retro" consoles. I always feel like I just missed the boat for that era. Now I'm able to emulate all these older games and consoles that I missed out on, and play all my Wii games. After abandoning my console for a decade, I picked it back up and have been modding, playing, and most importantly having a blast. Thank you for sharing this video, and for appreciating the homebrew/modding scene as much as I do. Legendary stuff my fella
I don’t know if you remixed the music, but that intro was 🔥
If you mean the homebrew channel theme, I didn't do it myself but I linked to the remix in the description if you want to hear the whole thing!
Thank you! I will check it out.
PLEASE do a play through of your spaggheti-o Walmart Mario 64, Mario 63. That would be a pleasant watch to say the least.
you should pin this
@Moonlumen i think your wrong
The legendary pin
I think you should change your comment to confuse people
@Moonlumen no
you beat me
Thanks for the "Guess what? You're old!" bombardment at the beginning. I really needed that...
Fake. This video was fake. You can tell by the strings in the background. I can't believe you would do this to us. After all we did for you:(
?
BRO OK YOU'RE RIGHT JUST DON'T TELL MOM
Listened to this video while practicing Super Paper Mario speed running tricks. I don’t regret either decision.
Whew, got all philosophical towards the end! I really did enjoy the little tangent - it made the video a lot more memorable :D
Definitely will give some of those Triforce arcade games a try- I have basically every game I would ever want to play on my Wii U, and have it acting as a Wii and GameCube out of convenience. Never seen or played any of Nintendo's Triforce arcade games though.
In my years, I've "rescued" at least 10 Wiis from yard sales and the first thing I do when I get home is Homebrew mod them. I then give them as gifts to family members who appreciate classics. Unfortunately, the one I gave to my mom about 10 years ago still sits on her entertainment center, un-played since the day I gave it to her ("Ooh, I like Frogger.").
2:01 my mouth DROPPED when that intro turned into the homebrew channel theme
I subbed at the Quake jump sound effect at 200% volume.
So much Effort you put in this Video overall is a very amazing and useful video thanks.
1:54 i absolutely love that intro
Feels so smooth lol
For CaveEx, the nunckuk analog stick emulates looking on a normal cotroller with the right analog stick, and the dpad emulates WASD.
