Who has modded their Wii?

[suprafreak6]

Im looking for someone who has modded their wii. Im considering buying a wii. I think im going to mod it once i get it. Anyone have their views on playing backups or the installation please let me know.

One of my friends has a modded wii (Wii key). The only thing that you gotta make sure of is that you buy the right dvds cause the wii is very picky.. I've got fujifilm DVD+R's which i've used to burn games for him on and they work without a hitch. It's more or less trial and error..

i modded my wii
its now 10 inches long with blue and green LEDs running down the sides
and it makes a cougar noise

yeah im lookin at the wiikey, ask him how hard the installation was. and what his level of soldering expertise is. I need to pick up a solder gun and some solder to practice with on something, maybe an old mother board or something...ive never done it

He got it done by some guy who runs a videogame store downtown, it was like $60 I think.

darn...hmm..soldering cant be THAT hard can it? I need something i can practice on first...

Think about it this way. If a store mods it they are liable if they fuck up.

If it's only $60 I think it's worth the pain taken away from doin' it yerself.

That's only a little bit more than a Wii game so it pays for itself in less than 2 games time.

but busyman, i dont got any reliable places to do it around here in chicago. You know? shipping is a bitch nowadays..i was looking on sites some were charging like 90 including shipping back. and that is without the chip, you send chip with...so im thinking it cant be THAT hard...just train with soldering first a lil bit, right? anyone know of anyways i can train? or practice?

soldering is easy, you heat the wires first..apply the solder slowely..cos the the heat will pull it into the wires.
