CycloWiz/Wiinja Not Worth The Cash

***wraggster*** · January 31st, 2007, 19:03

As a follower of Modchips over the years i have to say that while its encouraging to see Modchips out for the Wii already the plain fact is i wouldnt waste my money yet.

Both modchips cant be upgraded, so Nintendo releases an upgrade to the Wii and well your most likely knackered.

Also one of the main reasons for a modchip for the Wii (no im not interested in piracy) is to play games from other regions on my US nintendo Wii, neither mod can do this, so yet again another thumbs down.

Now yes Gamecube Homebrew is playable on the Wii this way but that can already be done without modding your console.

Now because the Modchips arent upgradeable the likelyhood of an exploit for Wii Homebrew working on these modchips is next to nil.

So for now take our advice and dont touch with a bargepole until much better modchips come along.

agree or disagree with me via comments

Okay then, I'd better not get those modchips if they can't be upgraded.

Does anyone know, if it is even possible that there is going to be a perfect modchip someday? (with upgrades, homebrew, region free, etc) Anyone know if it is in the works as we speak?

This is a first gen modchip. I suspect better and better modchips will come with age.

the first xbox modchips were awful.. as were the first psx ones.. and ps2 for that matter.

I'll be getting one, I can't wait to take apart my wii! :rofl:

You are a moron.

These are drivechips - NOT MODCHIPS. They have nothing to do with Nintendo's firmware, therefore nintendo can't "patch" them.

Have you not watched tmbinc's speech? How can you run a hacking site without having watched that?

lay off the caffeine...
for a first post, that was way too angry!

the main point, is these chips dont do much, and what they do 'do' isnt exactly wanted...

and besides, this isnt a hacking site.

I AGREE with "rawfodog" only not so extreme, they are just drive chips firmware updates from nintendo do not affect the drives its common sense people...
