Some say modchip + softmod is the best.. some say modding will get you banned from the online system. But what are the chances of you being detected by Nintendo itself? Anyone who've modded their Wii and still enjoying their online services here?
Care to give some tips or advices?
As for modchip.. I tried searching for my chipset model and they doesnt have the data for this.
My Wii serial is LU2002XXXX and the model number for my wii is RVL-001(USA) produced in North American market and copyright year is in 2006.
They mentioned I'll have to really open up my Wii set to get my chipset model. Because I'm not sure what chipset to get, in terms of compatibility with my Wii set, and the latest games out there. Also, I read up some saying about 128mb flashdrive and some 512mb flash.. what are these flash drive for?
And there are so many modchip I heard of on forums like Wasabi,Wasabi2,Wii key2,etcs and also they mentioned solder-less and solder modding.
Based on my Wii model number and serial, is there any advices or suggestion you can give to a Wii noob like me? Currently I had warranty for 2 years and it's only the 3rd week of it now. I'm aware there if I were to open up the Wii set, It'll definitely void off my warranty that's why I want to check if there's other way to check my chipset model so I can decide on which modchip to get.
But I guess when I were to mod it, they'll still have to open it up and eventually will void my warranty off. That's why I want make sure there's no other alternative in checking the model before I do anything silly.. Rather than opening up and realize my set is unmoddable and void my 2yrs warranty..
Please advice……~~
Suggestion:
Excellent question!
I've had my Wii softmodded for 2 years now, and I've been online with Mario Kart Wii, Smash Bros. Brawl, and other games that support online gaming.
Hardmod and Modchip are synonymous. You have to modify something hardware based for it to work, and is much more risky. If nintendo updates something that terminates the abilities of the hardmod chip, then you're temporarily, or indefinitely screwed.
Softmods are much safer, and can be reversed. The best guide for doing such a thing can be found here: http://sites.google.com/site/completesg/
Follow that very simple guide, and you'll be as good as gold!
Glad to help!

If you're going to illegally hack your Wii, don't bother spending money on a chip. There's nothing it can do that free software can't.
