[Wii] Modding the Wii. Mine has go-faster stripes and a massive spoiler

Elixir, did you know: modded consoles can be used to play pirated games.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What? No one even mentioned Freeloader. Chips can be updated.

Elixir, what.

First of all, I can guarantee you that Grawl wants a modded console to play games for free, not to import witch rape simulators from Japan.

Secondly, 'there isn't a large enough amount of games to justify modding' is complete nonsense. As far as I know, a chip costs about the same as one game, so unless you plan on buying only one game ever, modding is worth it (in the sense of saving money). Moral issues aside, the only problem is the loss of warranty, but Wii is no 360; it's statistically very unlikely that it will just explode one day.

Thirdly, people didn't mod GameCube because chips weren't widely available, and it used wacky-ass minidiscs. With Wii, it's only a question of ordering a chip, installing it, and burning DVDs.

Also, you like to take precautions, huh? Didn't you destroy someone else's console a while ago in the process of taking precautions?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
