Well it says:

Even with swaps, that seems quite interesting...

What does solderless mean?

What does solderless mean?

Is this a real question or a joke? It means no soldering required. You don't have to melt the points to the chip so this can easily be removed.

 

[- Wrath of God -]

Sorry, it was a real question. I was just making sure, cause I thought that it was necessary to solder every chip for it to work. How do you install it, if you don't have to solder it?

 

[7llusion]

Screw it on???

 

[Basthet]

Well - You only have to connect the soldering points of your chip with the corresponding wii soldering points. If you can manage to get a direct connection by 'plugging' them on each other - that's it.

The question is: how good the quality of such a solution will be... screwing might be a solution - I would suggest to add some conducting paste.

This can't be solderless. I think they mean quicksolder. There are holes where the points are. Plus there are no extra holes for screws or anything else. I'd say this is definitely not solderless.

Which is why I was asking

*First Solderless Wii Modchip!

 

[mustnap]

what did you have in mind when you read that H8TR?? how do you think the points on the chip will be connected to the points on Wii???
