W.. chip

[Joe Sancho]

I'm interested in mod my console but I don't really know what chip to choose.
Someone can tell me what is the best option?
Thanks in advance,
Joe Sancho.

I think there are going to have some movement in the W!! scene very soon since the well known Xecuter scene just annouced their involvment in a brand new chip which is certainly going to set a new standard on the scene with some innovative new functions.

Come on, this isn't maxconsole.

ASSEMblergames users buy 3 healthy consoles instead of 1 crippled with a modchip.

apart from those on low incomes who cant afford 3 consoles, and just want to play imports ;)

but my recommendation would be the wiifree pic chip, really cheap homebrew coded chip, with good features, and the ability to boot (most) original imports

[Dr_Slump]

If we are talking only about imports, I would recommend a region-free boot disc.

unfortunatly no such thing for using on imported wii games, although afaik you can still use a freeloader for gamecube games

It seems a wii freeloader is on the way but it's going to be as expensive as a chip, probably not as realiable and certainly much boring to have to swap discs each time you want to play a game...

But until there is a Wii hack(*), there won't be real region free chips. It works amazingly well, but it's still a console operating in a different region.

(*) I mean, a Wii hack. Not a drive hack.

[Haruglory]

yeah sure but at the moment it's quite convincing, and the update of the drive chip makes compatibility increasing way much more possible than it could be with a freeloader.
But it's sure that at the moment, there are no real software exploit available (except in GC mode) that would allow a true dezonning of Wii.
