Hacking Wlip

[nightwalker]

anyone take the plunge yet?

Hmmm. 24.95 euro is heavy! But then I would probably get it anyway cuz I don't like to soldering. Does anyone know where to order it in north america? Also, I have this silly question. Say, if I install a Wlip and a modchip on my Wii. If I disconnect the modchip at the end of the ribbon cable, does that mean that my Wii is a mod virgin again?

If you remove modchip from the socket, the wii is modfree of course. The wlip itself is just a piece of plastic and wires. There is no chip which can recieve and send signals to the wii.

Same. Cheapasses unite! :greedy:

And I'll wait for reviews before I get it. I mean, I don't want my console to get short-circuited or something cuz of the Wlip.

It's more likely to break or short-circuit your Wii if you buy a cheap Asian version.

 

[superrob]

Ahh yes thats why they are so expensive.. they have to test every one.

 

[wiithepeople]

If they manufacture them all the same, why would they have to test every one?

 

[superrob]

1) They look where homemade i mean in hand.
2) a little diffrence will make the Wlip unuseable and maybe break your Wii.

 

[wiithepeople]

oh, then I guess paying for the actual thing and not Chinese clones would be worth it.

 

[superrob]

Well ill maybe try a chinese one first.

 

[wiithepeople]

"try"? if it shorts on you, your wii may become bricked

 

[superrob]

I know. But a chinesse would cost like 2$

 

[DrKupo]

They are already out of stock? Wow.

 

[wiithepeople]

The wlip's probably haven't been shipped to them yet.

 

[superrob]

No looks like they are shipped but isn't arravied at the store.

There stands: Comming Soon

 

[DrKupo]

tell us your results, k?

 

[superrob]

Break? Please post when you get it

Becurse im going to get this very soon!
What modchip do you plan to use with it?

 

[InfernoZeus]

lol, and then when it ruins your wii, you buy a new wii, and you have to buy a new wlip (perhaps, depends on whether the short-circuit creates overheating, and then melts the wlip). thats another 300$.

Especially as the Wlip alreayd restricts air flow a little as it is.
