Which console from this lot is your favorite?
I was first :D
yay
that first wii with the missing gamecube flap, it looks just like mine, i remember losing it soo long ago
I wish and afford a 360 and a ps2 and wii my childhood consoles
The Wii with Alien Mii and all the VC games on it, plus it was a GameCube model.
I once bought a used 3DS which had an SD card in it. I found photos of.... the previous owner wearing a Beetlejuice costume. But he took like 100 selfies of himself in costume. It was a bit weird. 😅
Was the costume any good? That's a fun movie.
Lol
@jackychang9148 it was OK - short, bald Mexican guy. He had the costume and makeup but no wig, so he ended up looking a bit more like Capt Spaulding IMO. 😅
@@WhatAHorribleNight That's unfortunate. He could've used green dye. Oh well.
Lmao did u keep the photos?😭
You should make a homebrew series where you homebrew one of each console you find
Sure I'll do it next year once I'm finally done going through all of these consoles from texas 😂😂
@@jrob0021 this is going to be a great video!
@@jrob0021 sounds amazing!
@@SuperMDGOLD I'd guess the Xbox 360 would actually be the hardest to do so, because RGH is probably the most complicated. For the PS3 and the Wii you can do that by softmodding. For the PS3 it's actually the most useful, atleast when you consider legal purposes only, because you can bring back PS2 capability.
@@jrob0021
i love how Jacob actually opens and fixes consoles unlike some people
dk oldies
@@youraveragejoe23 i think that was the joke
Be awfully hypocritical if he didn't 😅
I remember having all the crazy miis and transferring them to my Wii U, great times
Hahaha
Man $3300 is insane, I picked up a lot of 63 consoles for $250 from the pawnshop next to my house. It was basically a smaller version of this lot, same consoles.
63 as-is consoles for $250 was a steal 20 years ago, you know...
@@MikeStavola what?
$250? You robbed that pawn shop.
@@EmergencyChannel they were there for months and it’s a major city haha their loss
Would be cool if you actually found the family who owned that Wii, and returned the photos. Might be impossible though.
Yeah idk how to do that, especially since I didn’t show the unblurred photos
@@jrob0021I think you can see what IP address they were using in the network settings, and then you could search up the IP on your computer to locate their address. May be alot of work behind it, but if i knew i could give back old family photos, i would do it. 😊
@@CasSpellthat’s the internal IP and it changes. Does not work the way you described
@@jrob0021 look into reading the meta data each photo had hidden in it it may give u location date time ect only thing i can think of
Is there a picture of em maybe inside what seems to be their garden? Or maybe a street? Than you could have a team up with those crazy Geoguessr-CZcamsrs. Could be a whole CZcams series even with a lot of wholesome content haha
I suggest you test ALL the USB ports on the wii consoles. I bought a wii off goodwill awhile back and the USB ports were busted. Luckily, for me, I like repairing consoles and had a good time learning how to replace the USB ports in the back.
Yeah I test everything on these consoles, just not on video. My viewer retention would be crap if I showed every single thing on video
@@jrob0021 I actually like very long videos, maybe u can do longer verisons of these types of videos on like a second channel or something
@@jrob0021you'd probably be surprised how many would watch every minute of repairs 😅folks been buying busted refurbished consoles off liars for decades
Especially since anyone who buys a wii is more than likely going to mod it.
I really like comments like this! I don't have the skillset to repair stuff like this but knowing there is people out there who do have that skillset and are preserving technology warms my heart
10:49 The wii wasnt actually last played like 2009, in the save game data you can see Disney Infinity 1.0 which came out around 2013, so it at least was stopped being played around then.
Glad to see you fixing these . Definitely adds substance to the series .
just wait until we get a rrod xbox 360 and get to try the towel method!
Yes i agree!! I love seeing console repairs
The days when you can put a disc in a games console and just play it. Not like these days where you have to sit for hours waiting for a game to download
And pray there is enough space and it doesn't need even more hours to update.
@@ShadowDragon-cw7wbFor a game that's likely not very good in the first place
Why are you acting like modern consoles don't support physical copies. You can still put a modern games disc in its console and just play it.
@@IVGPyou still need to download additional content and some games even require an internet connection on first launch
@@IVGP No, you have to install from the disc instead to immediately play it.
Tell this day I can’t believe these consoles are considered retro
It makes me wonder, seeing those old playtime notes which I remember myself, if they knew it would be the last time they’d play it. Yes, they all donated the consoles, but there could have been years between the last play time and the time they decided to donate them. Before you know it, a year has passed and the console is just there in the place it always was, or in the box right where you left it
20:34 profit should be higher with all those virtual console titles it comes with 👀
Outside of financial troubles I just could never understand selling one of my game consoles - assuming I enjoyed using it anyway.
Pretty much no matter how scratched a Wii Sports disc is it always seems to work for me.
I have a wii that I bought in highschool on release day, and it has started making that grinding noise you showed that is caused by warn gears. thank you for tearing it down and showing that. Now I know what I need to do to fix it.
Nice video Jacob! I have been waiting long time for this video! Keep up the good work!
Pretty exited to get a 360 from you. Probably will do so next month! Can't wait to play my 360 games once again.
I will have plenty more coming!
on the wii calendar the message icon is only for "important" messages, normal messages are without anything so they can be at any date
That Zephyr has likely been modded so that the fans always run at max speed, likely to prevent RRoD
Ive seen and done the 12v fan mod back in the day, but that ran it at full blast the entire time. This one seemed odd because it started off slow, but then ramped up pretty quickly. But yeah maybe it’s a different mod I haven’t seen before. I’d like to open it up but just don’t have enough time given how many consoles I have now lol
@@jrob0021maybe they changed fan curve in software that it ramps the fans up at lower temps to prevent overheating. Or thre is a bunch of dust inside the console and dry thermal paste so heat doesn't come out even fans are at full speed
@@quantasplayI call modding fans the “cheater’s way” of replacing thermal paste, where they want to cool the console but don’t want to remove X-Clamps
This is such a great series Jacob, keep it up!. Tell this day I can’t believe these consoles are considered retro.
Enjoying this more than the DK Oldies stuff. Great content.
Next series is the Pennsylvania Load where I drive to dkoldies to pick up a pallet of untested consoles
@@jrob0021 no way! Haha you’re kidding me.
@@jrob0021Recommend hiding your face cuz who knows if they’ll try to refurbish to have you publish a “positive” review in disguise the moment they start knowing who you are.
Yes please@@jrob0021 And do tell us how bad those consoles are and if they are clean or not.
@@jrob0021 Bro is about to get scammed hard lmao.
This is such a great series Jacob, keep it up!
Glad you like it!
Can you please show us you refurbishing each console? That’s the most satisfying part of your channel
I don’t really have any plans to unfortunately, it’s extremely time consuming to film and the analytics have shown me that the cleaning/refurbishing is the part that people don’t care about as much
@@jrob0021 what about just a few clips of ipa’ing it or putting the perfect amount of thermal paste? Your analytics are weird; if you posted a poll to include or not the refurbishment, they would agree with me! But I’m still going to watch this series
@@LeesReviews69data doesn’t lie, despite what people might think they want to watch, I can see the analytics on all of my videos, which tells me what people actually want to watch. I’ll look into maybe including a clip here or there but honestly, the filming schedule just doesn’t really align with the cleaning schedule. We’re already on a huge time crunch and struggling to get this content out each week and all the consoles listed.
Woah, coming back 6 years later your channel has improved a lot. I used to watch you a lot!
20:30 you may want to check what disk drive because if it’s the newer black Wii models replacement disk drive the older white Wii you installed it into won’t read GameCube games and that’s why most people buy Wiis now days.
Black Wii models can run GameCube games fine.
The main difference between the two disc drives is that it's impossible to play burned discs.
@@awii.neocities yea but theres no memory card slot or controller pors my dude lol
@@animeloveer97 I know a friend who owns a black Wii.
It has GameCube ports.
Why use discs when usbloader gx exists?
19:38 en este wii, el engrane pequeño de arriba esta roto, es muy facil de identificar por el sonido, puede ser reparado con pegamento para pantallas de celular, se pone un poco en las orillas y se posiciona el engrane donde va a ir, se deja secar 2 dias y esta listo para usarse nuevamente, el sonido que emite da miedo pero aun sirve ese lector
17:52 everything about whats on this wii and its miis looks insanely similar to my uncles old wii that i used to play on all the time and now im eerily worried that its the same one
I use to repair 360 disk drives , most of the time the belt would wear out. A cheap replacement are the small black rubber bands at dollar store in the hair care isle. They work perfect
You forgot to check to see if there are any Miis on the Wii Remotes because I constantly forget that I have any on mine
I used to keep a steak knife on our entertainment center for our glossy 360 to pry it open, I had no clue about the tap method
same but butter knife xD
That white 360 is probably just dirty the lens more than likely just needs to be wiped down
Just found you out and already in love with the serie !
8:45 anyone else surprised the camera didnt break here
I have modded probably about 10 wii's in my life time, and yea disc drive is unnecessary to mod anymore. It used to be you needed a certain Disc (I think there were only a handful of games that would work) which had the exploit in the save data to execute the code. But over time that was no longer necessary so all you really need these days to mod one is a sd card. Im not sure if you can exploit it with a usb drive or not. I think this is why people still buy broken wii's on ebay to this day. I have come across many wii's at thrift and yard sales, i usually buy them up if they are the right price no matter what. I have found that close to half of them have some sort of game still in them. It is definitely fun to see what might pop out. I think the most valuable one that popped out for me is the Wii Sports/Sports resort dual game disc. Not sure how much they go for now, but back then i think i sold it for like 70 bucks disc only (height of covid inflation of course). Sorry about the wall of text. I love the direction you have taken this Channel, keep it up
It's about a $50 game right now.
Don't tell him about USB loader GX guys don't tell him about usb configure there or wiiflow I mean configure USB loader and don't tell him about gecko or sneak
That white 360 was in the process of red ringing, I had two that would boot and seemingly run fine for a minute or two and then take off like a jet engine and red ring.
Purchased one of the consoles above!...Happy to support the channel!
pretty sure the wii message board calendar doesn't mark days that only have "today's accomplishments," only days with other messages received, so you haven't accurately checked when the wiis were last used
(9:44) I can tell those are stubs that would've linked to the respective Wii Shop Channel pages, plus I see the "Wii + Internet" video stub, so they likely had never connected their Wii to the internet.
The noisy gears thing is pretty common on wiis, Usually a little lube will make them less noisy.
The tap method is super effective
sounds like you could fix that one disc drive up and resell it as refurbished and make a couple more bucks depending on how much those parts are
Always had to chuck the ball in the air to get a strike
Instead of buying new bands for the drives, simply boil the old ones in a little bit of water for a minute and it brings the bands back to life. Dont waste your money
Thanks for showing me how to fix the disk drive my MW2 special edition has a stuck drive and thats literally the only thing wrong with it. It's otherwise in amazing condition. Now I can restore her and get back to playing my first non-Nintendo console
When you sell that "budget" Wii for 425$ and a brand new Switch is 300$, I can't help but feeling like I'm being punked hard core.
Ayoo! Been waiting for this video :D
The Wii with skyward sword is loadedddd! Never heard that disk drive sound before
another tip to get disk tray open on xbox360 is to stand it up for some reason that works great video by the way
3:09 that's actually not that bad that's a lot less than what I thought
Bro that last wii sounded like a chainsaw 💀
Who ever got that wii with the preloaded games was pretty lucky even though you can mod it nice to have them either way
Surprised none were already modded.
Nice! I've had that happen a couple of times where the disc was spinning when opened. It would scratch the disc sometimes too. Any ideas what causes this? Motherboard issue?
It was something inside the disc drive. Once I replaced the belt and cleaned it out, it didn’t have any isssur
@jrob0021 OK Sweet deal good for me to know. I thought it was a more major issue. Thanks
I would have been pissed if there were that many wiis in a lot I bought. What was your cost of travel/time to pick it all up?
I have a 12gb super slim and I actually prefer it because it can format itself when you put in a new harddrive. I know other models you have to use a usb stick or something.
Enjoy your videos a lot! Even if I mistake you for Spencer from Smosh every time I start one, and have to remind myself that you aren’t him.
I sold my Wii without factory resetting but everything cleared out except for the virtual console games, apps, and several photos of my dog and cats.
How do you order this stuff I've always wanted to buy consoles and fix them but don't know where to go to buy bulk like that
You got nice prices on your store.
there's a hole for a paper clip to manually eject the disk behind the front cover on the 360
Jacob R is the new TronixFix 🤣
I need another Modded Wii.
*I used to have a White Wii but it's bricked and still runs in maintenance mode.*
First
Let’s go
I love the Texas Load btw
Don’t break them
Love youre videos man keep it up 💪😎
Bruh that disc drive sounds like a diesel car on that wii lol
So I went to your website because im in the market for a PS3 that can play PS2 games and I noticed that on the PS3 entry it said, "The disc drive itself has NOT been opened up and cleaned." That console has already been sold (and I think that was the wrong model for what I wanted anyway) but do you offer a service to clean and verify the disk drive for an additional charge? Cause it would suck to buy one of your consoles only to find out the disk drive isnt working properly after purchase.
The disc drive works fine and I offer a warranty, I just don’t typically open up the disc drive if it doesn’t have an issue and/or if it’s not dirty
I want to buy a used Wii with games downloaded on it. I sold mine and I had so many good games I bought and saved to the HD like WaveRace64, Castlevania, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, and a bunch of others. I sort of regret selling it now. I sold it on FB marketplace for like $75! haha
they are super easy to mod and you can get whatever virtual console game you want these days.. definitley worth it just need a big sd card capacity i usually have a 16gb or 32 in mine
You sold your wii for a great price. You can get them for about $40 today.
These consuls are more refurbished than DK oldies
I hope his next videos he shows us refurbishing them
I'd love to see a Zephyr console *WITH* the original Zephyr Dashboard.
The consoles are still on par with DK's lol but I think GoodWill shouldn't have claimed them to be untested with the amount you found with X's and repair stickers but still good lot congrats man👏
I actually bought once a used PSP with a SD card. And there was a video of a graduation. It was a whole bunch of soldiers graduating.
1:23 you can also stick a paperclip into the little hole it there is one
Man!
Used consoles are a gold mine for buying in bulk now days!
Texas Load hat and shirt, Hank Hill - I tell you what
Yes I've been waiting for this

The glossy 360slims did not have built in memory because they all had hard drives. The matte ones had 4gb
Yeah I had no idea that was a thing until yesterday 😂 I thought all slims at 4GB internal
YOOOO This happened to me too! I asked the previous owner if they wanted them back and they said nah just delete them lol
Do you drop the cache of the system if its an old one running old firmware? Theres a few PS3 communities that need the dumps from PS3 to bring old stuf back. Example, LBP Union for LittleBigPlanets 1,2,3 and Karting, Then there is Destination Home (these people need dumps big time) but they are responcible for bringing back playstation home. Its in a working state but need dumps from old systems to bring back everything.
Huh, that's funny, I didn't know, for some reason, about the GC-compatibility, but when I checked the Wii I have (got it used from a friend way back) I'm happy to say it's the GC-compatible one :D Now, I also have a GC so not that much use for it and I don't plan to hook the Wii up since the Wii U takes care of those games as well and I'm trying to have around 20 consoles hooked up at once when I'm done so saving one video connector and one power supply makes some difference :)
around 20 for now. If I can afford to get any more in the future I will but I'm almost running out of ones I want haha
After finding two PS4s next to dumpsters in recent months and reselling them, I think I'm gonna keep & use the X-Box360 that I pulled out of one last week...
Give these consoles the good ol' DK oldies refurbish treatment
I got a Xbox one x for $160 worked for a few weeks then stopped letting me play any games saying "problem with saved games" and error screen with a code. I replaced the hard drive and it worked for 3 weeks now back to the same problems. Anyone got any advice besides throwing it out?
I have a fat ps4 it works good boots up fine. But when I get into a game the game stutters and freezes. And sometimes it looses Wi-Fi connectivity I’ve had it since it first came out. any idea why?
Great Video! Enjoyed it!
Maybe you can select some of the photos and post in some social media asking anyone knows the people on the photos.
omg he actually made a shirt for the texas load 😂
10:00 for the SD card with 299 photos
This was interesting hope you do a part 2
There will be like 10 parts. Lol. Still have 110 more consoles
@@jrob0021 ah well dang lol
imagine watching this video and being like omg that's my wii
I still have my Wii from 2009, play it to this day :D (My xbox360 is in storage though)
Great video dude!! Really enjoyed it!! Nice work!! 💯😎👌🎮❤️
Me and my lil brother made too many celebrity/character Mii's 🤣probably most memorable thing about the console for me
Lol right, I spent so much time making random Miis as well
Is it even possible to delete photos from the Wii? If you put the SD card into a PC sure but Photos that are uploaded on the Wii. Seem to be pretty stuck there like I am 90% sure there is no option to delete or it’s not an on screen button
Not bad at all Jacob!
Im waitin on my 360 piano brother 😂
feels like weeks since this video, waiting for The next one in the series hahaa
Man. I was way off on the price guess. Things are looking good though.
When I was a kid I had 4 controllers for my 360 too were black 2 were white and i changed the battery packs it just looked nice
i used double AAs and pennies with tape xD
I still remember preordering my resident evil Xbox from game stop back in the day and still have it. But seeing unbox going for $700 makes me wish I didn’t open it.
its all perceived value anyways. enjoy having a cool console! t=i saw the 3ds i have go for $800 so i understand the feeling but at the end of the day my 3ds is staying with me lol
