Nintendo Wii compromised? modchip coming?

Theres a surprise it was only a matter of time! tbh

This news is nothing but good, but, I still prefer soft mods!

the hack boys are making record times! wow the wii hasnt been out that long! they hacked it before the stores got thier second shipment!

Why not just wait for the Wii emulator to come out for Xbox360 or PS3. =)

"Why not just wait for the Wii emulator to come out for Xbox360 or PS3. =)" _________ Is that a joke or is that possible?! If its possible...why not wait for it on PC?! :)! :)! :)!

haha awesome, nintendo wanted to earn money on each console they sold by making a simple system with simple architecture, they didnt realize it was also easy to hack, now nintendo will lose millions because of their greed. im glad though, ill be buying a modded Wii so i can play copied games some time soon.

thats a good news!

when is the ps3 going to be modded, man

I feel srry for nintendo, this is to soon, not even half a year and they are going to be screwed over by hackers.

Good thing Nintendo is making a small profit on every console sold and at least half to three fourths of the wii gamers won't hack it.

So true tnarulz, I really doubt much more than 10% of the Wii owners will actually mod theirs. They will lose some of the money on the games but people will still buy the consoles.

Hmm, the site looks legit, but there's always something that tells me this is a phoney. It's too short a time since the Wii was released, I don't see how someone would come up with a modchip in just over 2 months.

I think nintendo will be ok with this one. They're targeting a non-traditional gaming audience who won't be aware of modchips and/or won't be willing to void their warranty by having their shiny new Wii modded.

I love my wii just the way it is, couldn't care less about this mod. I don't mind paying for games.

ill be one of the 10%

the thing for me i prefer mod chips so u can make back ups of games mainly because its not cheap but the down side is it leaves the door open for ppl to download or copy games illegally.....its never a fair game......

A small guide has also been released on how to backup Wii disks. But its not worth it yet IMHO. Because it takes about fifty hours to make a backup and the Chip is still in its youth so its non-upgradeable and a new one will probably be twice as good for the same or less cost in a few weeks.

yea the chip is still in its youth, but hey its a start, my dear fellow hackers will perfect it within months! i cant wait to buy my modded wii and get all the games i want! sure theres still dumb people who likes to pay but thats their bussiness.

This was comming soon well done.

Here is a link that better talks about this, this mod will only allow you to play back up of GAMECUBE games only. http://wii.qj.net/Details-on-the-Wiinja-Modchip-for-the-Wii/pg/49/aid/80677

Here is another new chip that allows wii backuos to be played http://wii.qj.net/Teamcyclops-announces-its-Wii-modchip/pg/49/aid/80956

Not bad for a little update. Did any ever get to check out the actual video of the bootloader for twilight princess? Should still be on thatvideosite.com http://thatvideosite.com/video/3759 Not a bad vid if you ask me...

wow that was fast. I kind of feel bad for Nintendo tho, I agree tho not to many ppl will mod theirs I know I wont. I don't mind supporting Nintendo, hell they were there supporting me as a child. Those were good times.

Prehaps nintendo has figured ut over the top copy protections on hardware and to a point on software only waste money if they make a profit off console sales and then sue any large chip maker/seller then they will save money in the long run and let people mod the system in the shadows. if its only 5 wires SIGN ME UP! I hate the bloody 20 wire installs.

exactly copy protection just costs both the company and the consumer money and even then it is easily bypassed. Also sorry about the double post from above how can I remove it?
