Press release:
The trouble with most games consoles, is you can't modify the game code when it's running. Sure, you can use tools such as Datel's own Action Replay game enhancers to input all sorts of cheats and enhancements, but there's no straightforward way for amateur programmers and techie tinkerers to get inside the game, investigating how it works and trying out modifications and tweaks you've programmed yourself. Thankfully, if you're a Wii owner Datel has come to the rescue with Drive Doctor, the ultimate aid for the hardcore tinkerer and amateur programmer. With Drive Doctor for your Nintendo Wii, you can gain a unique insight into the under-the-bonnet operation of your console, examining, analysing and altering the Wii drive's memory...
With Drive Doctor in place, you can connect your Wii to your PC using the supplied USB 2.0 cable. You can then review its innermost operations, watching your Wii software in action through Drive Doctor's PC application. You can even add data of your own, all from your PC. Drive Doctor’s memory and command views give you a unique insight into the innermost workings of your Wii’s drive memory, and even lets you make on-the-fly adjustments. You can read status, write data, send control commands, report the drive status and more. By injecting your own code into the data stream, you can create your own effects and experiment with modifying the program. It’s fun! And as the Wii home brew scene grows and prospers, the device will also come in handy for playing freely-downloadable software straight from your console.
Fitting Drive Doctor requires a little soldering, so make sure you have your precision soldering iron handy. Full fitting instructions are supplied. It’s a fairly simple task, requiring you to connect just five wires. After that, the unit just clips to the back of your console. It remains in place even when not in use - just unplug your USB cable and you can use your Wii in the usual way. It's styled to match the console, and completely unintrusive when not in use. ...by Published on May 16th, 2007 23:26

When the topic of sluggish PlayStation 3 sales is brought up, Peter Moore recalls his previous corporate life and asks, "Remember the Dreamcast?" Speaking to Next-Generation's Colin Campbell, the Microsoft exec compares Sony's current difficulties with those he experienced with Sega on its final console. "We thought we were doing right," he says. "All of a sudden it didn't pan out."
Though we're not privy to the same lucid and possibly prophetic dreams Mr. Moore is, lumping Sony's latest effort into the same category as the Dreamcast brings with it many sticky implications, intended or not. Is Moore saying the PlayStation 3 is failing to "pan out" for Sony, less than a year into its supposed ten-year life? Sega came out of the gate strongly and promptly drove off a financial cliff like Thelma and Louise, whereas Sony is off to a slow start and has every chance of picking up the pace. Moore goes on to say that Sony's focus on the Cell processor and the Blu-ray drive was a mistake, that it "miscalculated the global consumer's appetite for the experience the offered at the price point they offered it at." But wasn't the PS2's "Emotion Engine" and DVD drive instrumental in its triumph over Moore's ex-box?
We remember when the Xbox 360 was given the Dreamcast treatment as a means to highlight impending failure, and it was as odd then as it is now. Despite the system's commercial demise under the watch of a struggling manufacturer, it enjoyed amazing first-party support and is still remembered for hosting some remarkable games and innovations. When did being compared to the Dreamcast become such a bad thing? ...by Published on May 16th, 2007 23:09

Just one more continent to jump and then we can all play our DS's in our closets when other people at home. The success of the naughty witch touching game that hasn't even come out yet has convinced SNK to release a translated version (unfortunately, it's probably not the translation you wanted).
Doki Doki Majo Shinpan has finished turning Japanese (didn't think I could slip another 80s tune into a post, did you?) and has now got a Chinese translation version on their website. Why are the Chinese so lucky? Well, it is the year of the Golden Pig, which means double prosperity for everyone. Of course, maybe there are just a lot of perverts in China. Who can say for sure? ...by Published on May 16th, 2007 22:58

Nintendo Wii, the eternal boy scout, is racking up the badges as it enters the physical therapy field in order to help its fellow man. The Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital is the first hospital in North America to use the Wii to help patients with movement and balance issues and so far, they have seen some successes. Playing for rehabilitation has been proved to be more motivating than asking patients to do repetitive physical tasks over and over again.
Don Simoneau, an occupational therapist at the Glenrose, said he has used the technology on only about five patients in the past two and a half months, but already the 200 hospital therapists are clamouring to be involved with the Wii equipment.
It's unfortunate that more than just hospitals are "clamouring" for the Wii, or I'm sure they would have them by now. ...by Published on May 16th, 2007 22:53

Square-Enix fans and hot beverage afficionados can finally agree on something, as the lovable Final Fantasy fauna mainstay finally makes its way to licensed mugs with the soon to be released Chocobo Magic Book Mug.
Fine importer National Console Support has begun taking pre-orders for these adorable Chocobo mug-bearing cups for the collector-only price of $18 a pop. Typically, I get my mugs for free, but my non-sexual crush on all things Chocobo might make me break.
Thinking about using some Dragon Quest slime silverware to stir my morning coffee in a Chocobo mug just sealed the deal. Consider these birds ordered! ...- Search DCEmu
