Wii Modchip Whats the Fuss

By Wii Modchips

Gamers live to polish that car. It is as is if the puttering never ends. Its the same with online gamers and those especially who have fallen in love with the Nintendo Wii products especially the DS and DS Lite game platforms. What is the role of the modchips - its most famed and well known use is to modify the DVD optical drives themselves. Wonder why ?

Before the advent of Wii "Modchips" these computerized gaming platforms could not be altered , upgraded or "enhanced' in any way, shape , form or manner. However leave it gamers to figure a workaround. When it comes to gamers and those who compete in online games and internet gaming "Where there is a will there is a way ".

What has made Wii modding with these modchips is the advances in install procedures and tactics. It used to be that actual soldering onto the electronics board of the gaming electronic circuit board was the only means of completing the procedure. Enter simple "solder less" modding. Its simply a matter of pull out and replace in or simply insert the purchased modchip directly onto the board or Wii components itself. Simple as pie.

In the past there were some issues involved with the wii chips. There were some complaints that there were bricking. It occurred in a very limited number of consoles. This occurred after the release of firm ware update console 3. 0. Argon wii, chip, cyclowiz, d2ckey etc are some of the famous wii chips.

The first generation Wii modchips were based on the "Actel" systems. It was programmable and considered upgradable - yet it was all a bit fairly too complex for most beginner and even intermediate game modders.

Its downright amazing what comes out of that little Wii box. Sure there are other platforms for gaming. Yet Nintendo always seems to be the company that brings high quality gaming devices to the consumer at mass market prices , and in the end can be said to dominate the market through its adept combination's of product , pricing and merchandising. Nintendo can be said to be the "Henry Ford' of computer gaming - just like Commodore was to computers with its Commodore 64 and 128 computer lines. Many people who may never have taken up computer gaming have entered as avid enthusiasts with their entry level platform of the Nintendo Wii. With an estimated 10.9 Wii console gaming units being sold alone in the US , there will be no shortage of Wii consoles to modify .
