I'm totally rewiring a better speaker into the wiimote - have you seen what it looks like?

yes, the diaphram for the wiimote's speaker is a crappy, cheap, thin piece of clear plastic.

First thing I did when I heard the speaker was turn down its volume, too crackling otherwise, now it's not so bad

I have the original version of Freeloader (v 1.04) and it doesn't seem to work. Anyone else got their freeloaders to work?

The firmware update made the Freeloader unplayable.

For real?

Looks like I won't be taking my Wii to my cousins place to for the firmware update after all.

I have Freeloader 1.06b, but I have no intention of using the Wii for playing GC games. That's why I kept my Gamecube.

Yeah, I've heard the only real alternative to turning the volume down is modding the speaker yourself. Not everybody is going to want to do that. It would be a good idea to put pressure on Nintendo to make a better quality version.

So why not update the wii then?

There were rumors going around that it was the Bluetooths Audio Device, when coupled with the motion sensing stuff; meant that the clips of audio sent to the speaker were so low quality that a speaker upgrade was pointless. But this is just speculation, so tau i wish you all the good will in the world. I'm still undecided whether bandwidth or just low quality audio is the problem.
