Advantages:

• No wear and tear on your Wii DVD Drive at all.

Disadvantages:

The FlatMii packages comes with:

1. What does it do?
> It tricks the Wii into thinking that FlatMii is the DVD drive.

2. What's so special about it?
> It has a builtin USB connector so you can stream your Wii ISO files to the Wii by using a PC.

3. If I install FlatMii, can I still use my DVD drive?
> Yes. There are two ways to install FlatMii, you can keep your drive and have FlatMii working at the same time or you can install FlatMii standalone which doesnt require a drive.

4. Do problematic games like SMG and SSBB work?
> SMG and SSBB are fully supported. Since FlatMii is not a modchip it will not get detected, and most SSBB issues are about the lens which FlatMii obviously does not have

5. If I install FlatMii, can I also play copied games on disc?
> Unfortunately you cannot. However, it's fully compatible with all drivechips.

6. Can I play my backups from any region?
> Partially. It gives you the same region-free options like any other modchip. However, using Gecko OS or by changing your Wii's region you can play everything.

7. Can I use trucha-signed ISOs?
> That depends on the version of your system menu and IOS. We recommend you do not update for this reason.
However, if you did update, you can either downgrade or use Gecko OS.

8. Are GameCube games supported?
> Yes they are. In fact you can create a huge multi-iso GC disc with all your games, since there is no file size limit

9. How about homebrew software like MPlayer and other homebrew that uses discs?
> They have all been reported working.

10. If I turn off the software, can I turn it on later and resume gameplay?
> Yes you can.

11. What platforms does FlatMii currently support?
>Windows Vista, and Windows XP, 32 and 64 bit versions

12. What do I need to install FlatMii?
> A triwing, a normal X-shaped screwdriver, electrical tape, double sided tape, a pair of hands and a brain.

13. Can this be blocked by Nintendo?
> Very unlikely. It spoofs itself as a normal drive and it does not require you to install any homebrew software. FlatMii is not exploiting any bug, it's just pure emulation.


14. Are there any speed issues?
> Not if you use a fast PC, make sure your computer supports USB 2.0.
