I’m going to talk about Nintendo Wii Mod Chips and give some of the features, pros and cons of the 3 different Nintendo Wii Mod Chips that have just recently been released.
What is even more surprising with these new Nintendo Wii Mod chips is the prices that they’re being sold for. The prices range anywhere from $44.00 to just over $50.00, depending on the chip you decide to buy.
At present, there are actually 3 different Nintendo Wii Mod chips which will hit the market and online stores within the next week or so. While many online news sources seem to focus on just 2 of the 3 mod chips, perhaps because they’re unaware that there is a third chip in the making, I’m going to cover all 3 of the mod chips in the hopes of enabling you, the gamer, to make the buying decision that’s right for you. And after reading this article, I honestly believe that your decision will be based solely on price, and perhaps the option of an upgrade (or lack of) for the Wii Mod Chips.
Wiinja Nintendo Wii Mod Chip
The Wiinja Nintendo Wii Mod chip was really the very first Wii chip to hit the market. Although a lot of internet news sources appear to dismiss this chip, it’s all the same the very 1st and among the simplest mod chips to set up for the Nintendo Wii. Like the other mod chips for the Wii, the Wiinja will enable you to play all Wii and Gamecube Backup games, in addition to Wii Import backup games, and original import games with just a single swap. Gamecube Import and home brew games are fully supported. Although the other mod chips promise that their modchips, sooner or later, will have their personal custom operating system to enable extra features, the Wiinja chip doesn’t make this claim. As a matter of fact, they’ve said that their chip isn’t meant to be upgraded. Stealth mode is all the same built in, even into this mod chip, and whether or not the lack of an upgrade feature is a handicap is totally up to you.
WiiKey Nintendo Wii Modchip
The WiiKey comes ready to use, and provides a near wireless installation. When they say near wireless, what this fundamentally means is that there are Quick Solder pads for the chip. This technique enables you, the gamer, to plainly place the chip in the correct place on the Motherboard of the Wii, in order to then employ a little bit of solder with a soldering iron. The WiiKey chip does all the same also need that you solder 4 wires to the stipulated places on the Wii motherboard. The WiiKey mod chip was the first chip that featured full upgradeability through DVD-R discs to which you are able to burn / backup the new firmware updates, put the DVD in to your Nintendo Wii, and it will run and update the chip. Again, the WiiKey also supports loading of both Wii and Gamecube backup games and import backup games. Original import games can be played also, with an easy, single swap method. Gamecube Homebrew games are also supported.
CycloWiz Nintendo Wii Mod Chips
The major feature of the CycloWiz Nintendo Wii mod chip is in how it is installed. Different to the other 2 mod chips in this round up, the CycloWiz in reality doesn’t need you to solder any wires to the Wii mainboard. As a matter of fact, much like the WiiKey, you will only utilise Quick Solder pads which are strategically positioned in the design of the CycloWiz to enable you to plainly place the chip on the Nintendo Wii Mainboard, and lightly place some solder onto the points. This will make the needed connections, and the chip will simply be installed, with utterly zero requirement to figure out where wires are to be soldered or whether or not you have got the correct type of wires, etcetera… The CycloWiz is likewise a fully upgradeable modchip, with promised firmware updates for the chip from the manufacturer. Once again, I would like to stress that firmware updates might not in the least be needed and perhaps might not come for some time.
To sum up, all of the Nintendo Wii Mod chips feature the characteristics beneath. The only exception to this is the upgrade feature which isn’t available on the Wiinja chip. Have a look at the features, and choose for yourself which Wii mod Chip is right for you.
