People leave the wildest things on (and in) their Wii consoles 😂
Buy one of the consoles from this video: shop.jrobgaming.com/collections/hampton-haul-consoles
it kinda triggered me when you didnt know what homestar runner was
Make sure the wii doesn't suck up a gamecube ans not let it out. My wii is gamecube compatable but the small discs get stuck for some reason.
Why you get ps3 super slims
DO YOU not know that White wiis CAN PLAY dvds you just need to have the wii to run WIImc to play the dvd since WIIMC enable the drive to play DVDs Nintendo didn't want to pay the licensing needed for DVD playback but this got patched on later different colored wiis
fun fact i have 2 black wii that are gamecube compatble
The original Wii (any Wii with Gamecube compatibility) actually had the capability to play DVDs, it was just disabled in the firmware so Nintendo didn't have to pay a commission per console. That could be remedied by modding the console to re-enable that functionality.
Oh man the dvd apps were RUDEMENTARY though. It was definitely not the ideal way to watch movies but in a pinch it did get the job done.
sadly HE might not know about that
@@martincoburn6522 From my experience it's worth it simply for the novelty.
don't quote me on this but actually i've heard that wiis after 2008 (even with Gamecube compatibility) can't play dvds
especially black wiis (yes the ones with Gamecube compatibility) can't i think i've heard
The guy who bought Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People _definitely_ had their priorities straight.
g'day
Him not recognizing it made me so disappointed, lol
I was freaking out over that. Love that game to death lol
Saddest thing is you know by the time we see this video, the console's been factory reset so that game is into the digital oblivion. DELETED!
Del Taco?
"Gamecube compatible, you don't see those often"
What? It's the most common model by far, in fact its rare to come across anything else.
I think he meant black GC compatible models
@@HarakiriRock You would struggle to find a black wii that isnt backwards compatible
i have a white backwards gc compatible wii
@@hunkus073 Thats the most common, followed by the black backwards compatible. Anything else is rare by comparison.
@@RisingRevengeance that’s true. I have two of the white, and one red.
17:20 I feel aged when I realize that Homestar Runner isnt as recognizable as it once was.
I still have my wiiware copies of Cool Game 4 Attractive People on my system. Telltale Really don't make 'em like they used to...
17:07
he called homestar runner warioware
I feel bad that this guy in the video doesn't know about Homestar Runner.
I never cringed harder in my life than when this guy tried to call Strong Bad "some kind of wario thing"
I'm not surprised at all that a lot of these Wiis dont have much in terms of saves on them. The console was really inexpensive, but the games were really expensive. I remember growing up with a small library because we couldn't afford $50 for a game that came out 5 years prior. The prices of nintendo games have always been incredible ludicrous.
some mario games still sell for 50 bucks used... or about 5 times more than what a fully functional console is worth. it's insane. no wonder every second wii i come across is jailbroken
when you account for inflation, newly released nintendo 64 games cost the equivalent of $120 today.
funny where i live all the common games are usually just sold for normal prices cus everyone hacks their wii
I'm also not surprised, the Wii sold like hotcakes, but the games didn't. People bought the Wii because it was the thing you had to buy, but the people buying it weren't gamers.
I love the backwards concept of this video
"look how horrible this thing is!"
"wanna buy it?!"
respect.
I love seeing consoles from the 2000s - early 2010s still selling smoothly on the internet. And I hope its legacy lasts long!
I have a gamecube u still play did last month works beautifully still :D
i mean with most of these not being backwards compat outside of the xbox systems its the only way to play alot of the games on these
ps3, wii, 3ds are so great
With homebrew and you can play so much games
I think especially the ps3 since the emulation is not totally there and there was a lot of old games rereleased, psp, ps1, ps2 games
14:00 And this is why the superslim PS3 was my favourite.
Somehow this has become one of my favourite things on TH-cam. Probably because it's nice and simple like in the good old days.
Thanks for watching!
What do you mean by the good old days? Before us colors had rights ?
@@cutc2k764 you must be delusional wtf lmao
@@cutc2k764What why are you bringing race into this
@@jrob0021
If I remember correctly. DVDs can work when the Wii is jailbroken. There was a home brew player app.
No, PLEASE don't reset your Wii.
If people reset their consoles we wouldn't even have this content.
Seeing all these old consoles probably used to death being booted up and still working gives such a nice vibe to it.
It’s honestly amazing how many of them still work without an issue
@@jrob0021you are hella lucky of a guy lol
I aint so lucky with console and music player
whats with this crazy title? there was nothing even remotely interesting besides a single questionable mii on one of the wiis near the end. skimmed through this video for nothing
You know Jacob is a pretty young lad if he doesn't know Strong Bad haha. Classic from the early 2000's internet.
I’ve been around since the 90s, but yeah never heard of it
@@jrob0021 How the hell do you not know literally the #1 most famous thing on the internet ever?
I really like this channel, besides the misleading titles, i get alot of info from my old red wii.
My dad says its too old, but i dont believe him, maybe its some old part that needs to be replaced.
You know you're old when you noticed the Homestar Runner game and Jacob didn't know what it was.
STRONG BAD
wurs da cheet?
What is with the video title? Which Wii should have been banned? You say people should reset their Wiis, I assume you mean they should clear all their user data before transferring ownership of them, they should do that with any device they get rid of.
18:58 that can happen if your using homebrew like usb loader, you can disable these logs when using usb loader but it could also bee that the wii used to be setup to autoboot to the homebrew channel or something like usb loader as message like wii sports records will not be received until the wii is booted into the stock system menu, you can check if priiloader is installed by holding down the RESET button when starting the wii
Watching these videos brings me back to when I was Maybe 14-15 years old, getting the YLOD on my first ever fat ps3 after talking so much shit about the 360 getting the Red rings, after watching many OG videos on TH-cam I found it was just a thermal paste issue, took it apart myself, cleaned the old thermal paste off, applied new paste with an old blockbuster card and then it worked no problem. My parents were in disbelief
if it’s already broke, doesn’t hurt to try to fix it 😂
As it turns out (due to a lot of help in the community), the YLOD was caused by bad GPUs on models with the 90nm RSX, and NEC caps on models with the 65nm RSX. The 360 GPU on the Xenon - EARLY-Falcon (LATE-Falcons made in May '08 and all Opus boards and later fixed this) had a defect with the underfill supporting the GPU die's connection to the substrate/interposer (the green part of the GPU), which would soften at the GPU's default target temp *and* expand due to a spike in the CTE. The only permanent fix sadly for these faulty GPUs is replacement, so unless you have a rare/valuable console, you're better off getting a later Phat or Slim PS3 or a 360 phat, slim or E made in May '08 or later.
17:48 As a person who bought a used wii and cleaned the mii channel, I did see something familiar with miis that had random names.
Found this channel a couple months ago. Can’t stop watching. Great channel. Can’t believe how many people leave games in their consoles…
right, it's unbelievable lol
really like your videos jacob! all of them are so nice and simple to watch and as an avid console fan it's always nice to see some old consoles!
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is actually pretty good if you're into medieval settings and light RPG elements. The combat can be challenging at first as it's directional based and requires some timing but it gets easier as you progress and level up more. I really like that style of combat though but I did see people complain about it. It's worth a shot if you like that style / setting. If you don't care for knights and shit though I wouldn't bother.
I was rather surprised he had never heard of it before. I've never played it, but I've seen it all over.
the slim 360 was like "You have inserted the hdmi cable. I present to you, a free game!"
You've made me realise how good care my family and I take care of our old consoles.
2:12 Ouch..... I hope he survived 😬
more amazed that none of the wiis were homebrewed than anything else.
I’m not - the average gamer, especially wii gamer, has no knowledge or desire to mod a console
@@jrob0021 I think they meant that it's more or less the implication by the title that the Wii had some kind of extreme Homebrew modification that made it banworthy, though I saw nothing outlandish
It's not even clear what content is supposed to be the really bad or embarrassing stuff on the Wii. Yeah, you got me to watch the Wii segments, but I also skipped the rest and won't trust any more titles from you.
Seeing that Wii Menu again after years hit me with a lot of nostalgia. I loved the Wii and remember playing it for hours and hours years ago
this is the first time I've seen the disk drive mechanisms inside these consoles, and MAN are they satisfying
may also take a gander at ya website, pretty neat work
The fact that any of those Wiis had a working disc drive is amazing to me. 4/5 Wiis that my immediate family owns have had their disc drives fail, and they were all bought new over the course of a few years back in the day. And the last one that hasn't had a failed disc drive I simply don't believe my sister has used it in years and so I suspect it'll turn out to have failed next time she uses it.
I should also mention that we aren't terribly hard on our stuff. Our Wiis are in very good condition, nothing broken off, no gross stuff stuck to them or anything. Just, eventually they stopped being able to read discs.
2/3 of ours met the same fate, the latest being rarely used, and the first one actually only lasted a couple months iirc
i started watching you in the foreign disk series and you have come a longg way, got to say you are one of the handfull of youtubers that have NOT fallen off!
I love watching things like this, especially Pokemon videos where they explore people's old saves on Pokemon games.
I mean, _technically_ you can play DVD movies in a Wii but you aren't supposed to.
hey bub wii is obsolete system and you can do whatever you want with it
I used my family's wii as a DVD player for years. The white ones all worked as long as you used a homebrew channel app. The Red one we got later did not work however, as Nintendo removed the ability in hardware.
Love the content! As someone who's been messing with YT for a couple months (but totally not qualified to be giving advice to a channel with 421K more subs than me) I'd probably add subtle music. It'd keep the viewers attentive while you test out your consoles and see what works.
10:54 if you enter the PIN wrong too many times, it will switch to the password prompts (and if you enter the correct password, it will then give you a forgotten pin prompt)
I know that as I entered it wrong 3 times in a row on one of my consoles
Reminds me of when I changed my Wi-Fi name to “DEA Secure Network” after I found out my neighbors grew and sold weed.
heaven forbid someone keep games you can't legally buy on the wii they sell.
Congrats, you made me install the extension that shows dislikes.
For calling Strong Bad "some kind of wario thing", he deserves all the dislikes in the universe. I'm definitely adding my own.
20:51 This is what you came here for, saved you nearly half an hour of your life because of misleading clickbaity titles.
people are saying the titles are misleading, they ARE i guess.
but i just like this type of content, i dont care if there isn't anything special
These hamton haul vids are the best 20:53 had me laughing cause of the Wii characters name was 😂😂 Love this series, hope to see more.
Watching the wii game go inside of the disk drive and the stuff being pushed out of the way was so satisfying.
That first X360 was a well loved console. Love how you can tell
Jacob, thanks for what you doing, it’s so interesting to watch what you can find from a bunch of old consoles, so nostalgic for me. I had Xbox 360 elite when I was a kid, so good memories. Unfortunately I sold it when I’m was around 14-15 y.o., didn’t understand at that time what I’m doing. Nowadays I bought Star Wars edition Xbox 360 and play on it. Thanks again for your content, hi from Russia😊
I did the same when I was younger, sold my PS3 and all my games for $150 :(
Recently picked up a PS3 slim for $20 though so at least I made a profit sorta
Egg foo yu, I really miss being a kid so much creativity.
Technically the Wii will play DVD if it has HBC install and the DVD player channel. =P
I’d guess the person trying to play home alone on their Wii did not know that 😂
you didn't know that either@@jrob0021
Bought a wii in 2014 from gamestop and the Wii shop channel wasnt reset so I got ocarina of time and Mario 64 for free lol
Me still playing the Wii in 2024 ❤
Actually love the fact you’ve said trying to save up for the Halo 3 LE console from profits. So relatable. Greetings from over the pond. 🇬🇧
You can play DVD's on a Wii with homebrew, but only on early models.
i remember a couple years ago gs told be the most they could offer for a copy of wii sports was 25cents, so i started selling games at pawn shops instead when i needed gas money.
cool video dude, good luck fixing the systems.
This is literally my favorite channel, I love these haul series! Unique and amazing content❤️
always cool when you pick up a console or PC and find a disc still in the drive. FREE GAME!
Can't believe what was left on the Wii console? There was nothing at all out of the ordinary...
You know it's going to be a great video when sponsorblock has the highlight right next to the end /s
Hell yeah! Your content rocks, I was playing Red Dead One yesterday on my RGH 360
17:20 it disapoints me that you don't know what homestar runner is, it is freaking awesome!
(btw that is what dangeresque is from)
Could you explain what homestar runner is all about in a brief sentence?
@@UrjGaming-zw2cj Homestar runner is an internet seris staring a bunch of characters that where originally created to be childrens book characters, most people talk about the sbemails, a mini seris where a character named strong bad reads viewer sent emails!
Wii indeed plays DVDs with homebrew but didn't make sense finding home alone in that Wii lol
6:05 as someone who owns a copy of Arcade Zone on my Wii I can confirm it is actually a very fun game
Lmaoo the Home Alone disc, I can just imagine a grandparent trying to make the disc work and put it in upside down 😂 boomers am I right?
I use my Wii so much I did an internal HDMI mod. I'm getting more through Muramasa than I did before. Did a little SSX Blur until I remembered how I hated the motion controls that don't really match up with the trick. We've been occasionally playing Wii Sports Resort. Switch Sports is good but you can't deny that the Wiimotes and balance board provide a better experience.
15:03 so interesting to see a playstation console opened up from above like that
6:25 Arcade zone is a game that is just arcade games and you get tokens that allow you to buy more games after you beat em.
b and g will could've been the first letter of the previous owners (probably sibling) with their last name being will.
Even if it's just game history, I kinda feel uneasy when you go through other peoples information.
13:12 yeah it's almost like there was something keeping people in doors during that time lol
The yellow light of death is usually caused by the tokin capacitors.
This is not the case. Search for “felix ps3” and look for the 1hr+ long video on the subject. It’s a great watch if you’re into that kind of thing
Him when he sees the wii game: really, skylanders.
Me: P A I N
modded wiis can play dvds
Home Alone, Score!
I am from Virginia and I approve of The Hampton Haul. In fact, it's how I found your channel!
i know you did not just bad mouth skylanders lmao
That last 360 was definitely bundled with Kinect, judging by the games.
Kinect Adventures, DanceMasters (AKA Dance Evolution in Japan and PAL regions), Your Shape and Zumba all requires a Kinect sensor.
BTW DanceMasters is actually made by the developers of Dance Dance Revolution, you can watch a “gameplay” of the game in the infamous Konami E3 press conference in 2010.
I still have my Wii hooked up as a main console. Though I don't play Wii games often, I do boot up GameCube games rather regularly. I should look into videos on how to clean it out. Despite still working just fine, I'm sure it needs it.
Yeah, same. I mainly boot up my Wii for Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (and GameCube games in general), I use my Wii U for Wii and Wii U.
i love your videos so much, been watching you for over 5 years!
Pack a portable power bank if you travel to buy electronics, saves you from buying broken things.
i had flash backs of my yellow light of death. new thermal paste and cooking it fixed it for a little while haha. keep up the awesome work !
And that's where the accounts of our long gone friends go.
I'm still using my Wii a few times a year. Surprisingly, I never knew that my Wii had GameCube compatibility
I got my Wii in a goodwill for 10$
It came without any cables, but it worked perfectly, it is immaculate, it is the 1st gen and it was modded
B & G Will is probably both the parents first initial with their last name
I use both FBI and CIA vans for my wifi lol
I thought that black Wii was going to be the highlight of the video, that was breezed through in a minute. I stuck around anyway.
Me: Dipislife... lmao this guy has to be in the army...
"22 years old currently serving in the US Army"
welp. lol
My man Chris Janes - sound like he's straightedge and a fan of Throwdown - respect
Fun fact: The Xbox One fat model's manufacture date is at the bottom, there is a sticker, for example mine was made in 2015.
As a skylanders fan I am vibing right now
10:34 i feel like for this reason you should run ethernet to your test bench. especially as newer consoles start to be in these bundles
it's kind of baffling how no console has ever been upgradable, you always have to buy the next model. it would be nice to have a console we could just repair ourselves and upgrade at home, like a modular console. it would also make repairing bulk loads of consoles like this much more efficient.
I remember back in the days I made random Miis on the Nintendo Wii and 3DS.
My wifi is also FBI Surveillance Van...
There was homebrew software that allowed playing DVDs on the Wii.
.....you seriously did not just call Strong Bad "some kind of wario thing".
So which Wii was the one referred to in the title? All the Wiis I saw weren't grotesque....
yea i want to know which one he was referring to in the title that should be banned....
3:54 Wait it has skylanders spyro adventure?
12:09 It seems to be an issue with that model of Xbox one when not used often (in terms of disc drives). My old ass Xbox One from launch does the same when I go home to visit family. It is crazy but yes essentially it probably just needs to be cleaned but it will take a few disc going in and out before it starts to work.
Yea both of my x1 does that
3:14 for the system in the thumbnail.
Found my old Wii in the garage not long ago. Been having fun playing Wii sports/fitness with my daughter showing her what games were like in my day, we are hoping Santa brings us a vr headset this year haha I have a good feeling about it
Imagine if you accidentally found LetterBomb in of the wii messages. 😂
Homestar runner was the best circa 2003. Strong bad definitely wear a bully. They even snuck a Trogdor song into Guitar Hero.
