Not trying to flame or start anything but why spend money buying a modchip when you can softmod it for free?playallday said:It seems like most modchips are like $75+ for the new Wii's. Here's my idea: buy this and a 12F683. Wouldn't that be a $25 modchip?
You would have to install 12 wires, but still, that's a whole lot cheaper.
What do you think?
Ah. True true. Yeah I learned the hard way when I accidentally updated to 4.2U and had a few days of not being able to play my backups. It's really not that bad and now I know just say no to updates and wait it out until the Homebrew community has worked things out. But if hardmod is what you want anyway I've found the following site while looking for replacement cases for the Wii: http://www.consolesource.com/ecomm/catalog...-p-1-c-266.htmlplayallday said:Modchips are much easier once you get them installed. You never have to think about it again. And whenever Nintendo gives a update you don't have to worry.EeZeEpEe said:Not trying to flame or start anything but why spend money buying a modchip when you can softmod it for free?playallday said:It seems like most modchips are like $75+ for the new Wii's.

Really? Well this person in another thread recommends them:

Hmm. Actually, after you mentioned "never buy" I searched for that and it sounds like a "Your Mileage My Vary" type thing. Some people get their things fine and others get bad experiences.playallday said:Huh, I though they were on the "never buy" list. Oh well.
