The Best Nintendo Wii Mod Chip

Getting a Nintendo Wii mod chip will give your Nintendo Wii a new lease of life. If your unsure what a mod chip actually does, it allows you to load new software onto your Nintendo Wii to extend its functionality.

You will be able to play any copied games you have and any you have downloaded online via BitTorrent for example, but the mod chip gives you so much more than that. For a start, you can play old school games from great consoles like the Sony PS1, SNES and Megadrive thanks to the emualtors that you can download for free.

The media centre application is equally stunning and has the ability to play any DivX/Xvid video you throw at it. By using the WiiMote you will have access to a full archive of your movies, tv series and music.

There are 2 varietys of Nintendo Wii mod chip to pick from-

Hard Mod chip – You can pickup a mod chip for roughly $50, this will require physically soldering the mod chip into place. This is extremely difficult and should not be attempted if you do not have any experience with soldering, alternatively you could pay for someone to install it.

Soft Chip – Costing $30, the soft chip has the same function as a mod chip. Unlike a mod chip, the soft chip is a programme you just load onto your Nintendo Wii. The Soft Chip is cheaper to buy, can be installed by anyone and takes less than 20 minutes to complete

I personally installed the soft chip on my Nintendo Wii, and was amazed with how easy it was to do. The setup process is fully automated and it comes with a step by step video tutorial. If for any reason you needed your Nintendo Wii repaired under warranty, you can simply uninstall the soft chip.
