[WTB] Wii Dev Kit

I am in the search for a wii dev kit. I would be willing to purchase or trade. But I don't mind paying cash if you like that. Please email me at jeff@guerrillagames.net if you have one or know someone who does.

Thank you
Jeff.

 

I heard that same thing about a 360 dev kit... guess what, I have one now .

I understand the people who will post laughing, I am just hoping someone with one may read this and understand I'm serious and I understand the process of obtaining one. I am a collector and hobby programmer, nothing else, nothing more.

Jeff.

PS, I'm new to this site, but a vet in the dev community. I can't believe I never came across this site. Its great. Glad to be a member.

 

Totally agree.

This email is also not to make fun of anyone, rather a guide: Jeff, you'll have to also recognize the fact that people need some sense of security before dealing high value items. A new member with no feedback record asking to buy an item in the multi-thousand dollar space usually does not go down well This place is all about communication and a sense of community of the truly hardcore (at least thats my view on things), and you will have to establish yourself on the board. I am not one of the most frequent users, but thouroughly enjoy being around here.

ASSEMbler: this is a well confusing Avatar you got there

tubo,

Your absolutely correct. The only way to be seen as a "trustworthy member" is to be part of something for a long time. Unfortunatly I am new to this forum. I tend not to post a lot in any forum. I read a lot, but posting is just not my thing unless I feel really compelled. I have had a gamedev.net account for over 3 years and have made maybe 50-100 posts maybe. So, it will take a while.

My transactions are through Escrow.com service only, to protect myself and the seller. I have proof of two other purchases for dev kits through this service to warrent myself as a 'good buyer'. Again, I'm just a programmer and a collector.

Thanks for your message. Maybe someone who wants to part with one or willing to part with one will see this and contact me.

Thanks again
Jeff.

Personally I would mind for a green-plate debug. PM.

highjacker?

 

give it some time.

both Wii and PS3 dev material is still being paid for and is frequently used by companies. missing items will raise eyebrows.

 

:lol: cant wait for that to happen!

 

If you just want to develop for it then a retail wii and a mod chip would get you started. If you want to collect it, then prices are going to be a bit high at the moment ( unless you find an idiot ).

I'm sure it won't be long before someone writes a loader disc that allows you to download software to a wii over bluetooth, you could be that person.

xbox 360 is quite old now, so enough time for a company to go out of business or for someone to steal a dev kit.

Can't you code for Wii on an old Gamecube devkit anyway?

Damn, at this rate I'm going to have to be here posting for about 5 years before I get that avatar...wait, can't I just copy paste lol

 

more likely the WiFi - this kind of exploit has been done before, e.g. on PSP, its faster, and it integrates more easily. On the PSP, PSPLink is a great example of developing via a WIFI stub.

oops Kinda geting off topic for this forum. Sorry.

I want to do both, basically a mod chip will only allow for gamecube programming done on the wii, not utilizing the wii fully which I want to do. Second, yes I know it'll be a bit high, I just can't find any seller even if they wanted a high price. I would consider it though. Thanks though!

Jeff.

the wii devkit cost around 2500- 3000 USD
