Do you plan to chip your Wii?

[Teun]

I'm waiting for a region-free thing without soldering..

If that will ever happen.

 

[Hadrian]

I'm gonna wait until there's more chips around, more choice = better options.

 

[squee]

I'm also waiting for more chips to come, esspecially with region free. A softmod or a loader would be the best, though

 

[Qpido]

I don't mind the soldering, but I would like the chip to have region-free support.

Q~

 

[Mewgia]

I'll do it when there's a region-free solution. Until then, though...

 

[2cb2ct7]

Yeh when a region-free solution is available, or even a chip with more features.

 

[dEC0DED]

i don't even have a wii :/

i'm lamer than

LOL see cuz it has no penis.

what?

 

[EarthBound]

Im getting the Wiikey...

NTSC-J Wii/GC games are enough for me

 

[flai]

An update to the Cyclowiz would probably solve the whole region thing, probably just something they haven't figured how to get round right?

i am waiting for an all region + homebrew solution. piracy only chips are not worth messing with the console imo

 

[basilb]

im waiting for a chip/whatever bypass method to run wii homebrew. i'm not really bothered if it'll be able to play dumps.

I voted for "eventually"

They'll work out a better chip eventually like they did with the Slot 1 DS carts.
Though aparently its gonna be alot sooner for better modchips to come out.

I mainly want Homebrew code more than anything else.
Playing backups and imports isnt too nessecary though is a nice plus.

Also any nice features like an options menu for the chip and a pro action replay menu maybe. Once homebrew for wii gets here.

Might be a year or two till the good ones come, but eh, Its worth the wait.

i will wait for a region free chip but until companies move away from drive mods i doubt we will see one

I really wanna do it, but believe it or not, mainly for Gamecube games(and the odd Wii game that I would never buy anyway but I would like to try never the less).
I never modded my cube, it was somehow complicated with the case changing or the small sized DVD's and the octagonal screw do deal with!


I bought a Max Drive Pro, and have over 100 GCN backups. I couldn't be arsed to change the case at a cost of $30 (CAN) plus the GameBit, when the Max Drive was only $40. Mini DVD-R's are cheap where I live, so no biggie.

I think I'm on board with everyone else. I just want my Wii to be region free, and maybe play the odd game that I wouldn't even bring myself to rent like Red Steel or Far Cry. I'd much rather go with a SoftMod or Freeloader type solution. Maybe even streaming from USB HDD, but if those aren't options within a few months, I'll be going with the WiiKey.

Even though I'm a big ROM freak and have over 500 Console ISO's burned, I feel a need to support Wii software, and plan to buy as many games as I can afford. It's funny, because I've bought over 20 Virtual Console games, and have the ROMs sitting on my XBOX right next to my Wii.

I respect that and I personally feel its my duty to do the same and support Nintendo and their NEW generation Software!

Im with you guys.

Im not sure if its my love for Nintendo, or my love for certain games.

I bought 4 versions of LTTP already (USA/JAP SFC release, GBA release, VC Release) but I still have it on my XBOX and PSP. Now just give me Earthbound...

i have most of the wii games on original in the uk, but maybe if a chip comes out that lets me play games from other regions, then i may get it chipped, but most of the time once you get it chipped i find that you very rarely play the games for more than a few hours before you download the next game and start playing that one

 

[Deadmon]

Not sure if I plan to chip it yet, so 3rd option it is. Hoping for new methods..

 

[imgod22222]

I'll chip my wii when there's a region free and homebrew chip. Region free because I have a hard time finding (U) ROMs that are properly seeded by people without an "anti-bitcomet" client. And even then, alot of the DS homebrew has me begging for more, and ATM Wii does not have alot of things i wish it did (DVD Playback, misc video file playback (mkv,ogm), and some kick ass homebrew games (Like Eurotunnel, IM SO ADDICTED)))

 

[Bali]

I think I'll just wait until the Final days of the wii and see what's left. That or just buy 2 Wii's. One for keeping clean, and the other for modding until the wheels come off...

 

[littleho]

I'm considering it, but i dont know how to do it and am nervous on tampering with my wii.
