What colour does the screen go when the Wii is unplugged?

Nah, all jokes aside... The answer is obviously black.


Can't you just explore your SD card using a PC?

i could but b/c i am trying to install dvdx and get my wii64 to work
im constantly going back and forth between wii and pc for little things like changing the spelling, capitalization, and spacing of folder names.
it also doesnt help that i have only one usb port in easy reach.
so every time i want to explore the sd i have unplug my internet
the sd explorer app would purely be a timesaver

For the quickest, easiest solution... Download the file below, it's got basically everything I think you need.

Cool, you have one of those TV's. All the TV's in my house go black in the AV channel (which is unrelated to this topic).

Anyway, I'm hoping this helps you. :cool:

Run Any Title Deleter (included) and delete your current DVDx installation before reinstalling (also included).

somethings wrong with your file there
i think the archive is damaged
i downloaded it, unpacked it and i got two errors.
so i close it and check in the folder,
and it looks like this
SD VampDude-katachristic-> apps-> Any Region Changer (which was empty)
now i cant delete it b/c it says that it is being used.

just F*** it, man i dont need the sd explorer this badly, nor the dvdx

if i were to rip a movie, Dark Knight for example, how much memory should it occupy approximately?
i just finished cleaning up my computer and i now have ~10GB to work with.
i know movie takes a lot of space, so, short of instaling a new/another drive, how can i up my storage?

Actually, you legally cannot download roms from the Internet, whether you own the original game or not. The only legal way to obtain a rom is to dump it from your own copy of the game, and only if it doesn't involve breaking copy protection (at least in the US, although some exceptions have been made for allowing the breaking of copy protection on older stuff that is no longer produced, this doesn't allow you to download it from the Internet legally, however).

In the US anyway, it is illegal to rip a DVD (at least pretty much any commercial DVD), since doing so would require the breaking of the copy protection on the disc (even if the copy protection is inherently flawed, much like the Content Scramble System used on DVDs), which is a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

No errors for me, I just unpacked and uploaded it to a different SD. Except Any Region Changer has taken the image from AnyTitle Deleter, no biggie though since you only want to watch a movie.

Anything I have personally ripped, has about 15MB per one minute of video. So reading the information on the Dark Knight DVD, it's 145 minutes. So I would say just over 2GB.

Apparently it's illegal in the United Kingdom for anyone to copy their own purchased media, including creating MP3's from a CD.

Though in countries such as Spain, people are allowed to make copies of copyrighted material for themselves and others... Even if the source is illegal (copy of a copy?), though only prohibited if done for profit.

I have a V64, which my N64 titles are sent to my PC via a (25 pin) parallel cable.

The NES and SNES were much easier to backup, because in the days of smaller cartridges a single floppy would do the job of backing up a game or two.

Both, it could be that you don't have a DVD drive (hardware)... Or the firmware that supports it (software).

MegaMan9 came out in September '08 on the Virtual Console, priced at 1,000 points. The X series follows MegaMan9, which is strange in it's own timeline... X being 10, then there being more prequels (7-9). As a game, MegaMan9 can be disappointing, which for some reason it often feels recycled.
