It seems Nintendo has finally caught on to the fact that people have been able to mod their wiis. In the new versions of the Wii they have blocked the current generation of chips by physically removing three connections which were used to connect the chip and allow it to hack the drive software.
It is probably only a matter of time before this is figured out as well.. but it looks like for now the best bet for homebrew and backups is having a first-gen Wii. For those of you who have one already, I am sure they will start going for a premium on ebay soon.

they’ll find another way soon!!!
I already modchip the nw wii machine using Wii Key, I just connect the 3 Wires in the proccesor and installed the softwar everthing work perfctly
FYI, someone has already found way around this, they cut the chip down with a dremel tool to expose the metal points on the chip, reconnected the points together with a wire, and then proceded normally to install the chip.
yeah, but that sounds like it has a much larger probability of bricking
NOPE YOU Guys, I just finished putting the WiiKey in my clipped 3 leg pin. Modding is only impossible for the newbies out there. The modchip works. And what Jakor said is true. I did that method and it works. you really need a dremel from walmart and a really steady hand and about 30mins of eye popping carefulness. It’s not a larger part of bricking, that’s more to people who like to rush things. With the new modding techinque, you need alot of time to get it done. Took me a total of 3 hours, but soon it’ll be about less than an hour.
dumbi, got pics I’m leaving the modding to a pro but I’d love more details.
luckilyy ive aredi got myn chipped.
Let the cat and mouse chase begin! We hack they fix, we hack again, they fix again.
actually they hack, they fix
because im positive u havent done anything to help hack the wii
Yea cuz I can’t find one.
consider yourself lucky you didnt waste 250 bucks and collect more to buy a real system like the 360
Shows how much you know. Stick with your primative button pressing console and STFU. If someone wants a Wii let them buy it cuz you know you can’t make anything remotely close you fatty.
I want my Wii chipped… I bet there will be a hack the next day
cheapest I’ve found is 65 quid GBP including postage…
i had recently got my wii chipped. i am suing the wiikey on a pal version of the wii. i had paid 60 GBP. i had to take it down to a shop and he actualli installed the wiikey without damaging my warranty.
dude opening the wii voids the warranty period
where..?
the guys number was 07903178822. he also gav me a 6 months warranty.
how did he put the chip in without dammaging the warranty??
how do you know if your wii can be moded i am about to buy one tomarrow when did these start comming out?
hmmm…im not to sure you can check if these are the latest wii’s. the only way you can check if you can mod them is by opening up the console and check if the three wiring’s have been removed or not.
There is a list of serial numbers to avoid and to get a hold of of the Wiis. But my research at the PSX Scene forums, i’lve come up with the conclusion. Wii’s that were bought before Mid-May 2007 are uncliipped wii’s. Wii’s bought after mid may and to present now are the clipped wii’s. I bought mine’s in Mid June, as my local Walmart had it instock, I got the first box of the 6 that was instock. Brought it home and to my dismay, it was the clipped wii’s. So i went back to Walmart the next day and got me a Dremel ($50) that had the right piece I needed to carve away the IC chip. Right now, the wii still works great!
WII cant handle homebrew…
the system itself compared to a pc is like Pentium 1..
if that much
What are you talking about? Do you know anything about the wii? Of course it can handle homebrew! But the firmware is encrypted and we have to wait untill someone decrypts it. just give it time. You should be amazed at how fast people’s mods are coming out.
yeah, i think ppl would want to mod the 360 or PS3 before the WII..
Umm.. it can, and im playin SNES on it with the SNES ported gamecube emulator.
Hmmm wiikey or pay more for cyclo… Any1 had games not booting using wiikey? (wii or gc)
Actually with a 750 Mhz CPU utilizing and interesting and downplayed single-core but mutiple 8kb cache. …she got more kick then a pentium 1…sheesh…the wii is comparable to an original xbox speed (733Mhz Pentium 3) and functionality wise…the little ATI hollywood chipset though…still can’t play with NVIDIA Geforce 3…in my humble opinion
who cares i got a 1st gen wii i just want some real hacks like they have for the psp
Yeah, why don’t they do SOMETHING besides playing backups. And when live play is enabled when Pokemon comes out, will that brick chipped consoles? I just don’t see anything happening here. Backups are working, so is that it? Wow, the work here is done, let’s close up shop and work on the next console…I visit this site daily and there is nothing happening
they do actually, but only the wiikey supports it at the moment. i was reading that the wiikey can actually run old school backups (nes, snes, etc..) from the sd card. but before i read that, my dumb ass bought the wiinja… witch aside from running wii back ups, does nothing… fuck…
Don’t worry about your install. Hella easy to swap out the chip. Just have a steady hand, and a 15watt soldering iron from RadioShack (what I used). Swapping the chip for a cyclo or a wiikey is easy.
i have the wiikey and plsy my nes, snes & genesis games off a dvd not a sd card
can’t i buy a used wii at ebgames so i can get tha old
ones?
yeah if u get lucky keep prayin cuz first gen wiis r becoming an ectinct kind and 2nd and 3rd gen wiis r taking place of them
i would do anything to get a wii
Doesn’t that say what kind of people buy 360 and PS3 then?
What was the interesting thing? Oh! That. Yeah. I should have guessed. This post is good, but not good enough.
I was getting pretty edgy reading this. If I say I’m disagreeing with your post I would say nothing. Reading this is meaningless waste of time.
