i woz thinking of getting my xbox traded in for a wii, but i need to know which is better - mod chip or softmod, what they do, and if it is worth it to trade. Will it be easy for me to download games and play on my wii like an r4?
Yeah, but it's not the cheapest thingy on the market (£60 or so)Rctgamer3 said:Get a WODE. It's a modchip/hardmod with the same features as a softmod, but the WODE also has the ability to play GameCube games off a USB. It can't be detected by Nintendo because the Wii thinks the game is a original copy, so the WODE is future-proof.
Rctgamer3 said:You can also send your Wii with a WODE in, because it's solderless (and sits inbetween the Wii and the DVD) you could just remove the WODE and reinsert the original cables. Replace the feet, and it looks like it has never been opened

A WODE costs $90 at ShopTemp.pyrosurfer said:right. So I M NOT GONNA GET A WODE cos it costs $160. I saw a "DriveKey2" for Wii. is that good? and a softmod will allow me to play commercial games from my SD.
Not true... perhaps for older chips and chips that can't use firmware updates. Wiikey2 has no problem with any of those games with the current firmware.psxiso said:awssk8er said:Hard mod - If you don't mind paying money, and as far as I know, games always work.
I dont think so, games like new super mario bros, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Wii Sport Resort etc... still need some tweaks here and there before it can be play.
