Wiinja: The First Wii Modchip!

[bryehn]

i'm not sold untill i can play (J) backups, but what I'm really concerned about is going online with the chip.

 

[Wuschmaster]

Videos like the YouTube one are damn easy to fake if you have two Wii consoles.

   The very first Wii modchip has just been disclosed. What can I say? Oh yeah, it is real. I have seen it in action, some stores are already selling it, and we will receive a sample in the next couple of days.

What stores are already selling it?

 

[Arm73]

Sounds good...time to grab some backups.......can't wait to open up my Wii and sold some mod chip in it !!

 

[wuka]

Hmmmmm.... Makes me want to buy a Wii....

If I can find one anyway

That video was not very informative at all, all that was shown was stupid icons, and a tiny snippet of an opening video clip of one game which was released on the gamecube and even THAT was cut short, I don't trust that video at ALL.

it shows when a modchip for a console is leaked it boost sales of consoles.

^ lol your loss, this IS real. If site admin has confirmed, im a true believer

 

[Tomobobo]

Everyone doubted this team when they claimed a slot 1 cart also. I don't hear anyone still claiming the NinjaDS is fake.

Ya, I was about to say the same thing, Costello said he saw it and confirmed this to work.
I totally trust his opinion.

I would like to see a soldering video tutorial though.

Q~

... and what exactly were you expecting to see?
The games won't be any different if their played illegally I suppose, so what would be the point on displaying more of the games.
Also, if you mean by "one game which was released on the gamecube" that you think it's the GC version booting, you're wrong, cause gamecube games don't show intro's in wii style, don't ask you to put the cord on and don't require A+B to start.

 

[Costello]

I've just added another video which shows a little more.

who still doesn't believe the Ninja team?

 

[Gamesphere]

OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG........*Goes in submission*

 

[cenotaph]

Too bad 99% of all people who'll be buying this will be doing it to conduct piracy. Oh well...

 

[Sil3n7]

Too bad 99% of all people who'll be buying this will be doing it to conduct piracy. Oh well...

Its called playing "backups"

 

[DaRk_ViVi]

Well there is nothing more that you can do with this chip... If you buy it is for piracy (yeah, i'm sure you have the original one

), you can't run other regions games or play homebrews.

Is there already way to burn .wii files?

 

[HugeCock]

Holy smokes! Great news! Time to start downloading those wii backups I saw! Where can I buy a chip Costello?

 

[zatelli]

Looks like that rumor about a hardware mod being in active production phase was right.
I don't think it's an interesting solution as all I'm interested is being able to run dumps from other regions so I'll gladly pass, especially since we've got no infomation about it performance: does it have graphical glitches or bugs? Can it manage to run all backups at full speed? C
The only postive thing is that it only needs 5 solder points & looks tiny enough not to change the Wii's casing or whatever.
I'll gladly wait longer till a few more solutions surface to make sure the best solution is picked up.
On the other hand I'm quite sad this happened that early in the Wii life cycle cause it might hurt software sales.. at the same time those who witheld their purchase will certainly buy the Wii boosting hardware sales .. so it might not that bad after all.
