So, I decided to invest in a USB Gecko for it's hacking.
It's a device for the Wii that enables homebrew and hacking, I mostly got it for it's cheat code function.

The result? I can pull shit I couldn't have pulled before on Smash Brothers, such as playing as the dark characters that appear in the Subspace emissary, neat eh?

You can see what I've taken so far here:
http://www.brawlsnapshots.com/snapshot s/tag?tag=usb+gecko

So far, this includes the characters from the great maze being playable, the shadow bug forms being playable, and playing on normally unplayable stages, hopefully I'll be taking some more interesting snapshots soon, I think it might be possible execute multiple final smashes if I'm lucky.

I should try learning how to create cheat codes actually, maybe then I'll be able to do even better things?

This is the internet, welcome to it.

May. 28, 2008 | 8:45 AM bztoot says:

That Golden Zelda is .. epic. :D Where did you get yours Gecko? :O I want one, too!

May. 28, 2008 | 8:52 AM RupeeClock responds:

I should warn you, using a USB Gecko is not easy, you gotta do shit like the Twilight Hack, getting homebrew, using hex editors, using a PC interface, etc.

You should just wait until an Action Replay comes out, shouldn't be long now.

In any case, check out USBGecko.com first.

I have heard of this USB-Gecko, looks like fun to me.

Only problem is that we Europeans don't even have Brawl yet, haha.

May. 28, 2008 | 10:06 AM RupeeClock responds:

I'm European.

I imported.

May. 28, 2008 | 9:32 AM MrFinland says:

Now that is pure genious. I salute you

May. 28, 2008 | 10:07 AM RupeeClock responds:

Genius, not genious.

Although, ingenious has an "O", I wonder why. :p

May. 28, 2008 | 10:13 AM hereforrock says:

Cool. I never use those cheat/hack things because I onced used one and it destroyed 3 years of hard work, all stuff into one saved game that was murdered by the cheat thing. But I do use a GameShark for the Nintendo 64, and I've figured out how to use the hex editor and alter or make my own cheats. It's fun. :D

May. 28, 2008 | 10:27 AM RupeeClock responds:

Oh, it's not as straight forward, there's no built in hex-editor in the program or anything, you have to download a WINDOWS hex editor and make .gct files, and you have to put 00 D0 C0 DE 00 D0 C0 DE at the beginning of every file, and 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 at the end of every file.

May. 28, 2008 | 10:27 AM ssbbmaniac says:

May. 28, 2008 | 11:04 AM RupeeClock responds:

May. 28, 2008 | 10:49 AM MrFinland says:

Well the more you know...

May. 28, 2008 | 11:04 AM RupeeClock responds:

And knowing is half the battle.

May. 28, 2008 | 10:50 AM KungFu-Gerbil says:

bztoot is such a noob, IT'S LINK not ZELDA fool

May. 28, 2008 | 11:05 AM RupeeClock responds:

A lot of people make that mistake.

I used to think Knuckles was a girl, dammit.

May. 28, 2008 | 10:55 AM TJ111111 says:

thats pretty cool I guess just don't do it online

May. 28, 2008 | 11:05 AM RupeeClock responds:

Why would I want to do that?

May. 28, 2008 | 11:13 AM MrFinland says:

Maybe I'll get an A for English now.

May. 28, 2008 | 11:39 AM marius-vanrhijn says:

May. 28, 2008 | 12:45 PM Imaku says:

For a while I thought Colin off of Twilight Princess was a girl... >_<

May. 29, 2008 | 12:04 AM RupeeClock responds:

I honestly do not blame you.

May. 28, 2008 | 2:53 PM Emanhattan says:

looks like fun

May. 29, 2008 | 12:04 AM RupeeClock responds:

It is.

May. 28, 2008 | 2:54 PM Jimtopia says:

Lol, awesome hacks.

May. 28, 2008 | 3:09 PM Sonucais says:

Evil man, I can't live without Brawl and you know it~!

;o; 30 days left.

May. 29, 2008 | 12:05 AM RupeeClock responds:

And then finally, we can brawl online.

May. 28, 2008 | 3:20 PM Yinyangpenguin says:

That's awesome, Brawlinrupee

May. 29, 2008 | 12:05 AM RupeeClock responds:

Indeed.

May. 28, 2008 | 3:50 PM qsceszawdxs says:

uhm i em srry if this ofence people but what's brawl

May. 29, 2008 | 12:05 AM RupeeClock responds:

You know, Super Smash Brothers Brawl? For the WIi?
Where have you been?

May. 28, 2008 | 3:52 PM STALKERClock says:

He looks like a zombie.

May. 29, 2008 | 12:05 AM RupeeClock responds:

Well, they're certainly meant to look unusual.

May. 28, 2008 | 3:53 PM Kanti says:

unless the USB gecko can be used to acutally hack and used to pwn its just changing palettes ands thats....fun? i mean yeah having a green lookin link may be ballin but thats all it is as far as i know, playing on unplayable stages yeah thats a hack, and thats cool, but just useing regular characters and and changing how they look..epic waste of time imo

May. 29, 2008 | 12:06 AM RupeeClock responds:

I'm still testing out the device, i've got ideas to do other things you know.

I HAVE played on unplayable stages with this you know.

May. 28, 2008 | 3:53 PM qsceszawdxs says:

i know what brawl is now srry

May. 29, 2008 | 12:06 AM RupeeClock responds:

Whatever.

May. 28, 2008 | 4:27 PM ultimaman94 says:

Cool. I got an action replay for the Wii but it is just the same as anything else. But being ablr to play as shadow characters and pull fuck you couldn't fuck is.......... uhhhh.......... (Can I make a later comment to think of a really strange word?)

May. 29, 2008 | 12:06 AM RupeeClock responds:

What? There is no Action replay for the Wii yet.

May. 28, 2008 | 5:37 PM kibas-cool says:

its not perfect... when you look closely you can see the original design(minus the eyes).. unlike the subspace shadow versions.its a start though

May. 29, 2008 | 12:07 AM RupeeClock responds:

No, no that's actually how they look in the subspace emissary anyway, you just never really see it.

May. 28, 2008 | 5:41 PM MysticShinHanKu says:

bz, that's a golden Link, not a golden Zelda lol Cool hax.

May. 28, 2008 | 5:49 PM GoldAngelSonic says:

In a way, it looks like some kinda metal (dark) Link with a gold color, I guess. But multiple final smashes? Heh. What I'd like to see most is being able to control the bosses. Is that possible?

May. 29, 2008 | 12:07 AM RupeeClock responds:

I'll have to try it, it probably won't work though.

May. 28, 2008 | 7:19 PM g0m says:

TJ111111 means not to haxxor online because then you are a loser n00b. I think.

May. 29, 2008 | 12:08 AM RupeeClock responds:

Dude, I'm pretty good at brawl, I don't need to cheat.

May. 29, 2008 | 1:58 AM auroradafox says:

oh wow that is neat

May. 30, 2008 | 1:30 AM Goonie says:

You got a lot of free time on yer hands. :/

May. 30, 2008 | 3:52 PM D31D10X says:

rupee you know that you are the best user on the brawl snapshots you have 3110 points or kinda well anyways wow your pics are the best *thumbs up*

May. 30, 2008 | 10:29 PM Slashe51 says:

You know, I wanted to hack my game too, but I never got a chance to get the Gecko. I guess it just wasn't worth it, because I don't learn very quickly.

Off subject, do you think they'll make something that will let you play different console games on different consoles (e.g. Halo for PS3, I know, seems impossible)?

Jun. 1, 2008 | 5:00 PM MeatMachine says:

Wow, those screenshots look really cool. I would try using USB Gecko too if I wasn't such a techtard... :/

Jun. 2, 2008 | 9:58 PM LordKnightMare says:

can yu tell me where yu got teh USB gecko? i've seen the screenshots and it looks badass

Jun. 4, 2008 | 1:33 PM Rikco-the-Robot says:

Now that you mention it, Knux DOES look pretty womanly...

Jun. 4, 2008 | 10:51 PM WolfenClock says:

"LuMario".

Jun. 7, 2008 | 12:36 PM BigLord says:

I... need... brawl... so bad.

I just didn't import it because I'm running low on money...

By the way, that USB Gecko is... geeky.

(somebody had to say it, huh?)

Jun. 9, 2008 | 1:35 AM sonic7845 says:

hacks are awsome but not when they just beat the hell out of you but thats why i have hacks now =3

Jun. 17, 2008 | 9:53 PM zerosub0 says:

deity u are

Jun. 19, 2008 | 12:33 AM Labusch says:

very interesting Rupee

Jun. 19, 2008 | 12:07 PM blade458970 says:

i wonder if you can hack it on multi-player

Jun. 19, 2008 | 5:11 PM Zaentz says:

Are you still alive?

Jun. 19, 2008 | 6:58 PM RupeeClock responds:

Yup.

Jun. 20, 2008 | 2:43 AM Zaentz says:

Btw, can you play Brawl with the Wii controller, or is it handier to play with the Gamecube like controller? (Brawl is coming out end of the month :3)

Jun. 20, 2008 | 8:15 AM RupeeClock responds:

I love playing brawl with the gamecube controller, it feels natural.

You can also use the Wiimote and Nunchuk (which a lot of people seem to like) or the classic controller, or just the wiimote.

Jun. 20, 2008 | 5:38 PM Yinyangpenguin says:

The Wii Remote and numchuck is really similar the the Gamecube controller. Also can you make people with brawl hacking be all black like Mr. Game and Watch?

Jun. 21, 2008 | 9:16 AM Liteice says:

lol im a pervert.

Jun. 21, 2008 | 5:17 PM Stevoisiak says:

Wow. I've only seen 2 other brawl hacking things. Moveset switching, and a savestate hack. Can you make a video of this?

Jun. 24, 2008 | 12:25 AM alienscorch says:

lol nice, brawl owns. the only thing i don't like about it is how undeavloped it is,personally xbox live is allot better. allthough i did download a hack engine for one of my games, diablo 2 and it ownz and what if you hacked it so iit is the lvl that that pic above was taken on had the stage hazards of norfiar,

Jun. 24, 2008 | 2:33 AM RupeeClock responds:

Brawl? Undeveloped?

The game took 3 fucking years.

Jun. 26, 2008 | 3:51 PM Sonucais says:

Brawl :V

Jun. 28, 2008 | 10:03 PM SecretClock says:

You Are such a bad ass, you should have a big old bumper sticker that says "This Ass Is Bad"
