As others have said. Definitely a regular Wii that's been modded and put in a new case. Probably because the doors had snapped off the original which is a common thing. You can pick up a complete one in the UK charity shops now for about £10. They only take a few minutes to mod. I used to have one that I done myself and used with an 80gb HDD.

Yeah, it's definitely somewhat "refurbished" by the seller. Points for the homebrew channel stuff and the emulators, I don't have first hand experience with those emus but I'm guessing they might be better than VC. And if you want, you could play Project M and CTGP-R. This is a keeper.

I've done softmods on quite a few Wii consoles, and this is all pretty standard stuff. My suspicion is that it's real Wii guts, but most likely a replacement case for one that was either heavily damaged, or just too dirty to pass off for sale. I can speak from experience that the flaps to cover the gamecube ports tend to break quite easily, and replacing them can be a bit of a pain. Some people opt for full replacement shells.

RVL-001 is the original console design. The next revision, Nintendo removed the Gamecube controller ports and memory card slots. If you have a bunch of Wii and Gamecube stuff, this version really is a great way to unify your gaming setup, though I'd probably put the stock BIOS back in place for that use case. I'm betting what happened here is they took a beat up console, gave it a new shell, soft-modded it and sold it off as new with "built-in" games. $99 for that, but not really a bad deal if you wanted a gen 1 Wii in mint condition! You can easily re-mod that devil for other kinds of functionality to simplify things if you wanted. For example, I have an XBox that handles emulation stuff and the controllers are better-suited for the old games. So the Wii is modded to load its stuff from an external SSD, which makes it much faster to load games, and I no longer have to worry about the library getting scattered by the dog hitting the disc tower. Again. :D

So China will commonly have this problem where they have leftover components at factories.

Jailbroke the firmware and pre-installed a bunch of homebrew channels. Then sold them on Wish at a profit. I see this happen with leftover arcade PCBs on Alibaba all the time.

Wish sellers seem to make listings confusing on purpose so you order the wrong thing. You seem to have acknowledged that you ordered the "Bare metal" instead of "Package 1" version in some of the comments. You didn't check any of the USB loaders. Those would be my first suspect on what roms they'd load since they'd be the Wii games... You can configure the USB loaders to load off the SD card. Try those, and maybe homebrew channel to see if they actually loaded any games.

they dont do it on pourpose when its like this, most of thiese sellers are guys running shop out of there basement rather than large scale factories and google translating the description because actualy good human translation is expensive there are scammers for sure, but a lot of the time its either guys buying stuff from recycling centers and repourposing it (honestly great, everyone wins reusing is better than recycling) or guys just making stuff from scratch
@turkeykaiser Жыл бұрын
It's just a translation thing. Most of these guys have really big shops on taobao with a lot of options. They probably only moved the base package over to Wish to avoid confusion. The shop I got my Wii from had 10 packages with pages of photos and explanations. I'm sure translation would have been a nightmare.

Yours was a legitimate Wii's internals (See: 4.1E on the System Settings screen). Most likely they had a shitty shell and got a replacement for it, and then soft-modded it (I wondered if it was real/modded when I saw instructions for CFG/USB Loader). Not a bad deal, all things considered, and it clearly runs out-of-region software, so looks like a good buy.

So judging from the other comments, and the box, I'm guessing they had a bunch of old Wiis (European apparently) that probably had busted cases. So they bought some cheap cases, probably made so people could have custom cases, by painting them or whatever. And then just used that case to put it all in and shipped it out?

Highly doubt anyone cares but one thing I found interesting is that the SD card contained a Homebrew Channel 1.0.8 wad. Not only is this an older version, but HBC was not designed to be installing using a WAD manager. Team Twiizers has never provided any wads either, they simply provide a Homebrew Channel Installer, and later the HackMii Installer. Maybe this was done so they could avoid the scam warnings, and back in the warez prime days, people would bundle significantly older versions because they didn't have a scam warning. Also, DIOS MIOS and Neogamma are both very much history today, so I'd imagine this is a really old softmod. The 4.1 system menu version seems to confirm this too.
