I don´t understand why they even stop producing. It´s a save way to earn a lot of money. The USB Gecko is liked by so many people and not everyone is able to get one due to the low amount of available devices. Nowadays, it requires luck.
I could easily list 5 people who wanted one badly. Many of them aren´t aware of the difficulty in making codes, having the Gecko modul laying around while others didn´t get their "chance". 40$ wasted.
It was the same for me, the beginning was harsh and I didn´t like coding. But once I´ve become quite successful at making stuff, being able to solve most issues, it was amazingly fun. More than a single Wii game could have given me. An example of a worthful Gecko investment of 40$
That's absolutely true! One of my friends bought a USB Gecko too, because he thought it would be so easy to make codes. I told him that it's not that easy at all.. However, now his USB Gecko is just laying around... 40$ wasted.
Actually, the great mdmwii inspired me to start coding... Yeah, at the first time I thought too that it would be easy to write a code.. but then it was horrible at the beginning. It was a really nice idea to release Foxx "Ram Hacking TUT". Of course that helps a lot, expect newcomers.
However, learning from others and learning by doing are the keys
I can't remember how often I froze my Wii when I first started to write a code LOL
