    Hardware Wii Overheated (help)

    What pisses me off is that this is a known problem. For example, my problem happened after 10 months.

    Hacking Wasabi CHIP and Wii Firmware updates

    Hi, I recently installed a Wasabi chip in my D2C PAL Wii. Works fine so far, even with low quality DVD medias (the ones I had at the time). I have installed a switch to disable chip if required. Using the method described in the wasabi website. With all that in mind, I have some questions...
