Hacking help picking a mod chip :-)

[canuckcub]

so about a year and a half ago i bricked my wii with a wad which had a larger small channel image then the wii allowed so i could only get to the safety screen and no further. this was before bootmii and all that fun stuff. so i bought myself a 360 and let my wii die in a dusty grave.

But I am going to atemp to bring her back from the dead. I doubt that my twilight hack is in the saved files. so i just need help picking a modchip ... keep in mind ive never really soldered but im sure i can figure it out i just dont want to if i dont have to.

basicly i want to wipe my wii clean and fix it all up :-D

Do you have BootMii? You could unbrick using it.

You know that a modchip only helps in about 5% of actual happening bricks? Maybe you have a misconception on what a modchip does, on a wii it just makes a DVD-R being recognised as if it was a retail disc. A pressed retail disc that would have homebrew on it wouldn't be booted by most Wiis, because it would be unsigned and considered "unsafe" because of it.

Umm like i said this was before bootmii and i do understand what a modchip does, if i could boot directly to hombrew channel or boot a remove wad program i could get rid of the bad wad. i thought a modchip could boot directly to hombrew channel if need be

ive determined i have a banner brick at this point i just want to know which mod chip i should get, Drivekey or wiikey fusion

will the wiikey fusion do this as well

If you have system menu 3.3 or higher, you NEED to have patched IOS installed, or the modchip can't boot homebrew.
