These are the steps that I got off sid3arm. I got them at a forum but giving a links would be giving you a rom site.

Isn't it just a parallel to drive solder points mod, like its basically the same as a mod chip its just the modchip is the pc rather then a chip. Seems kinda stupid, I'm pretty sure you have to still solder stuff.

From what I can tell, it is possible to just attach a usb cable from the wii to the usb port on the computer.

There is a modchip in there im sure or its just that hte cables connect to the Tin points and the pc sends wat normally the modchip send or something

If its usb cant beleave that but:

This cable should be the only you have to buy

 

[iamwhoiam]

it doesn't work USB-USB, you actually have to solder onto the drive board itself... so you might as well stick with a wiikey

This works by soldering a cable directly to the Wii DVD drive's serial port points, the same point the current drive modchips are soldered to.
This was originally released before modchips were available and has had some revisions since.

Old news I'm afraid. It certainly does not work via USB either.

Okay. Sorry about that. It was just that I hadn't heard of it before.
