Title: Why don't we just use the USB port?
Post by: funkamatic on September 02, 2008, 06:20:36 PM
Sorry, I'm new here and I couldn't find the answers to some of my dumb questions on faq's, tutorials ect.

I know Nintndo has the USB port locked and all, but homebrewers have opened it up. Why can't we just use Gecko OS and WiiRD with it?

It may be that the Wii's USB ports are USB 1.1 and could not be fast enough to do things such as live debugging.

No, the Wii USB port uses USB 2.0, but I imagine the USB port isn't accessible in GameCube mode.
