Alright, so today I randomly decided that I might want to buy a chip for my Wii, because they really aren't all that cheap..and it seems like a good investment. I mean, the R4 is a great investment..so I'm thinking this is like a R4 for the Wii. Just hope that if I do it, I don't stop playing my Wii, with 'ROMitis' syndrome D:
But really, I have NO idea what it's all about. Like, I'd really like a couple questions answered, please.
1) Which is the best modchip for the Wii, and how much does it cost?
2) What are the chances of bricking my console with one, or is there any possible way that Nintendo can force an update and brick consoles automatically? Oh, and since I'm on the topic..HOW would you update the Wii with firmware upgrades, if you have a modchip. I'm pretty sure that if you had one, it'd brick automatically while updating it from Nintendo.
3) Is it difficult/confusing to install a modchip? Is it also confusing to download the games onto the CD..and stuff like that? I heard something about unscrambling a code..but I dunno what that is. Do you also need like a special CD/program for burning the game? Oh..and is it that simple really, just burn the game onto the CD and play? I mean, I heard of the SMG crisis with people getting their Wii's bricked..what was up with that? That really sucks..I don't want to brick my Wii..AT ALL. Maybe if I'm careful though..but how do hackers know if Nintendo had protection for the game before booting it and blowing their Wii.
4) Do the games have all the features as a real game, and does the modchip play almost all games?
5) If you have a modchip installed, and you have the REAL copy of the game..can you play it?
Uhm..that's about it. I might actually make the jump, but I'm scared I might screw up the install and brick the Wii or something. Yargh..I know it's a good investment, so I think I really want to do it. Do modchip installs go bad though/have problems? Oh, and if you do that to your Wii..your warranty is automatically VOID, right? :'[
Hm..I also read somewhere that having a modchip wears out your laser faster..true?
Ok, that's all for now. If I remember a question, I'll post it
