When You Learn How to Copy Wii Games, Do You Have to Use a Mod Chip?

Looking for some fun? Whatever you do, Don't Click Here!

Have you ever heard the term “mod chip” before? If you’ve done any digging into how to copy wii games, then I’d be willing to bet that you have.

Maybe you haven’t heard of one though. In that case, a mod chip is simply a type of computer chip that you can insert into the interior of a Wii console. The benefit is that it unlocks additional functionality that Nintendo corporation didn’t want you to have. You can then do things such as

-Play burned games -Play games from other countries -Play games off of the homebrew channel

There are several problems, however, with using mod-chips to hack your Wii. First off, it’s just downright difficult to install one – it a highly technical procedure. Second, the minute that you open up your Wii, as is required for a chip install, you have voided your warranty, and there is no going back. Finally, these chips are a bit on the pricey side. A highly specialized chip recently sold on Amazon for over $250.00.

What Are the Two Kinds of Mod Chips

I’ll elucidate them briefly. The first type has been around almost since the Wii was launched. These are the type of chips that you have to actually sodder on to the motherboard with a soldering gun. To accomplish this, you must crack your Wii open, sodder it on with heat, and then do a complete firmware upgrade.

This type of chip is the more affordable variety of the two at present.

The 2nd model of chip is brand new this year. This type of chip clips onto the motherboard. It’s not permanently attached, so if you ever need or want to install a different chip, it’s very easy to do so. You do still have to open up your console, so your warranty is still void. Just something to keep in mind.

The downsides of the clip on style chips are that they are more expensive, and they can sometimes come loose inside the Wii.
