Hardware Hacking Install mod chip…?

[ARandomHomebrewdude]

This kind of mod chip I found on eBay I have no idea how to install even if I have to solder
It just tell me how before I buy it……..

Softmods have surpassed any chips don't buy

Like shadow#1 said wii modchips have really been outclassed - if you *really* want to get a chip you need to know what drive type you have and if it's physically even able to be installed (later version had measures to prevent it) - but it really is not needed anymore and loading via usb is incredibly more convenient.

D2sun is pretty old chip - I wanna say 2007/2008, suprised there is still stock for it. That being said, if you want to have a piece of wii modding history I say go for it

Either way I just need instructions cause I can’t tell sh*t or if there’s certain wires I need to get (I assume this chip on ebay probably doesn’t come with any….)

First of all why do you want to build a modchip in a wii these days.........a softmod is free, works with every wii console (Wii Mini only with hardmods) and actually offers you almost everything a modchip can do and more. If you still want to install it, everything you need to know is actually in the picture.

Also make sure your console is compatible with the modchip.

This should help: https://www.d2sun.com/index.htm

You'll probably have to buy wire......but first I would just write to the seller to see if any are included (usually everyone who solders occasionally has a few supplies)

But as mentioned before it's actually pretty useless and I wouldn't recommend it these days..............

Well your wrong about Wii Mini as it has a softmod

+1 for the softmod.

If you do want the chip, you'll have to solder and the points on the Wii drive board aren't big so you'll need a steady hand for it.

Yes, I know that you can softmod them, but wasn't that rather useless because of the lack of ports that a normal wii has (SD etc.)?

It has a single USB, and USB hubs do work on it so you can have multiple USB devices. On the Wii Mini, pretty much everything is loaded via a USB drive
