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

If you're in a region that usescraiglist you can just do a quick search for "nintendo" or something like that. In my region, there are more than a handful of people who offer modding services for modest prices. The good ones will usually allow you to purchase a mod chip from them, allow you to watch them while they perform the work, and offer a warranty of some kind (one of the listings I saw for my region had something like "if I brick your Wii, you can take mine").

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The point behind piracy is getting something for nothing, or very little. In this case, Wii games. Is it really so hard to understand?

I don't know if you're trying to advocate buying the actual games or if you're just being ridiculously snobby regarding what people play.

How ya doing, buddy?

What's "worth playing" or not is entirely subjective, so I don't see why you even bring it up. Furthermore, the less a game costs, the more likely you might find yourself trying it out. If the game is effectively free (minus time and the cost of the blank disc) then you might find yourself trying out a whole lot of things! And if you gain enjoyment from said things, hooray, you've recovered the cost of the mod chip.

I don't see the point in getting a modchipped Wii to play a bunch of mediocre games when you could simply rent them for one or two weeks and be done with it.

Renting games costs money! So does buying and installing a mod chip, you might argue. Pirate one or two Wii games that you like and you've recovered the cost. Plus, you still have the game. Rent one or two Wii games and you're out however much it cost to do so, and you have to return the game at some point.

Anyway, whatever. Your money, your Wii, you can do whatever you like. This isn't super serious business.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
