Nintendo can't force an update on you with the Wii, you have to do it from a menu item. And so far there hasn't been a game that requires an updated firmware, like with the PSP.

Games that come with the latest firmware WILL be released. Nintendo have said that. I guess it gets the firmware updates to the people without a wireless internet connection.
Games can update your Wii.
My Pokémon Battle Revolution (J) updated my Wii when I inserted the Disc (even before it appeared in the Disc Channel).

Didn't know that before.
I've just noticed the phallic imagery in the drawing next to the pic of the modchip

I first saw it on digg.com
btw, is there any info on the price yet? (haven't read the whole thread...don't hurt me plz
Close to 40 euro's.Wiinja supports Gamecube backups on either mini or regular sized media.
Though be careful, and use good quality media or you'll end up with your fair share of DRE's.
So, if we use bad quality DVD's, we can screw up a laser in our Wii's?
It's called a Data Read Error (your disc won't get read properly).

Even though it's not region free, most games have been released for pal anyway, just awaiting warioware
WarioWare was released in Europe before it was released in the US...
I said exactly the same thing, then realised he meant 'released' as in...

havent seen this question asked so I will go ahead and ask it.
If I get this chip and install it would I be able to play NSTC GCN game backups using my PAL Wii and my freeloader disc?

the Freeloader doesn't work with PAL Wiis...it only works with NTSC Wiis

Im actually hoping future chips stay this small for the wii as Ill prolly wait it out till theres one with region free and if possible homebrew support.
Patience, patience
Before the end of February you will have several choices for Wii modchips.

although I don't like the fact that its not region free, I do like the fact that its probably almost undectectable as it runs off the dvd drive; I can't see how Nintendo would be able to detect it, as its only tricking the DVD drive into thinking the security code matches the disc. Any sponsers taking preorders?
You know, for all of us who aren't that great at soldering, that are hoping this is easy to install, I wonder how hard it will be to actually solder the wires to the chip, since that looks so small, or will it all be pre-done on that end?

You'll get just the chip, as it looks like in the photos. You'll have to provide your own wires.
maan, i really want to jump on this but i've never modded a system before. Is it a hard thing to do? Is it something I can send to them and have them do for me?
Any chance of something as easy as the G6 Lite that doesn't require me opening my system coming out..?

@SylverReZ, I dislike the kind of drm where you have to play single player games online all the time bc of some verification bs+1

@SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that

@Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.+1 -

I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol

I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
