Sorry - age old question - moving VC games between Wiis...

... is this possible now we have SD card support in the new update? I assume not as I have no doubt the games are encrypted to high heaven, but my first Wii broke and I have a whole bunch of games on there I'd like to transfer across and as far as I can tell, have no way to do it.

Grim!

Cheers

There's no way I can think. If you're getting your Wii fixed by Nintendo, they'll send you the same system back so you can download all your VC games again for free.

If you're getting a differen Wii/new Wii then the only option I can think of for getting those VC games for free is via hacking.

The Wii is out of warranty as it was a launch day machine... bugger! I can't say I'm surprised though. Thanks.

The cost of repairs outside of warranty are £27.40 or £65.50 (for misuse and physical damage). Delivery is free.
