2 new awsome Wii acceseries(SP?)

Mii Manager:

this device lets you rip Mii data from your Wiimote and lets you edit it on your computer (Mario bros. Miis anyone?)



Advanced Gameport:

this device, meant for Gamecube, is compatible with the Wii, what is it exactly? it's a less cluncky, cheap Gameboy Player (not sure if it's backwords compatible with the game color and pocket games tho )

Those sound (kind of) good.

I wonder how the Advance Game Port software compares to the official Gameboy Player.

Also it's kinda funny how they used the prototype Gamecube controller for their controls layout.

smaller,cheaper,Wii compatible, nuff said.

That really doesn't say anything about the specific software. Does it have the same filter options as the Gameboy Player?

Plus I sort of doubt this supports additional Gameboy Player features like Gamecube controller rumble in games like Super Mario Advance 4. Other strikes against it include an inability to link up to other systems and probably no usage of the GCN-to-GBA cable so you can keep your GBA controls but use a bigger display.

Why the hell did they attach a wire to that GameBoy thing? Couldn't they have just kept it in the memory card slot? (Although granted, they'd have to re-work the shell for the thing first). The obvious reply to that is so that it would work on the Wii, but at the same time it doesn't look as though there's enough wire to get from the top of the Wii to a flat surface, so the thing would be hanging anyway.

On a slightly related note, does the official GameBoy player play GBC/GB games as well?

Yes, it does. So if this thing doesn't that's another strike against it.

But I love this quote:

Here's some interesting information on its software:

That's definitely a benefit. While 55 blocks is kinda hefty, the ability to have a snapshot is crucial in GBA games that lack good save functions. Plus that Cheat Construction Kit sounds pretty interesting.

This isn't very encouraging, however:

And neither is this:

Which is weird because their website acts like you can use genuine save data as well.

Big ol' obnoxious edit: Looks like this thing doesn't even work with the Wii until you use an Action Replay, and then it's still unlikely:

so any thoughts on the mii manager?

Absolutely horrible. Like trying to run Boycott Advance on a sub-1GHz machine with a sound card on the fritz.

I'm probably going to make a homebrew GBA cart dumper with mine, just been too lazy to reverse-engineer the damn thing.

Well, people have been using their own USB Bluetooth devices to mess with Miis already, with their own homebrew software:

There's sites like http://www.miimall.com/ that store them as well.

The wii manager sounds ok.

Except for the fact they're charging for software you can get for free, and who knows how reliable their Bluetooth device is? If you're going to gamble on theirs you might as well save money and buy a cheap-o one.

Your word combined with the fact that this thing can't even run on the Wii apparently has made me lose all interest.

Get for free?

Edit:nvm

Oh,

So, has anyone actualy used that gameport thing?

do edited miis still work for games like Wii sports?

I still can't see the point in editing Miis on a PC when the Wii has a perfectly functioning Mii creator built in.
