I am thinking to buy some 003 bricked koren wii and play around based on this tutorial.
However it requires a wasabi dx modchip which costs more than a used, working wii console. Since I am doing for fun only, I don't want to invest too much for that chip.I am thinking if I am lucky enough to find one from 4 of my Wiis. Opening all 4 consoles seem a bit overkill so I am wishing there is software-based solution for checking for existence of modchip. Thank you for your input.
Edit: Seems the video is using an old way to do it.
The required steps are
**Modchipped DVDROM is needed
1) Try to autoboot a game with exploit
The old way :
Since the first available save file for SSBB with exploit is for euro/pal only, if your wii is region-changed to other region, you need to autoboot MarioKart or any game support install as channel to bypass region lock. Then swap the SSBB disc when installing it as channel so it boots SSBB-PAL.
The new way:
Connect GameCube controller to port 4, hold all 4 directions (You need to remove the plastic pad to allow you pressing all 4 directions), autoboot a patch SSBB at the same region of your region-changed wii
2) Run KoreanKii
Other questions
1a) Why a DVDRom drive with support to read DVDR is required? Does it mean the drive will reject DVDR disc? If no, shouldn't the modchip already do the job to tell the system the disc is genuine?
1b) How to recognize that "magic" DVDRom drive? Any known DVD drive chip/Board?
2) What is "Diagnostic disc check off"?
