I bought a wii modchip a few months, but things didn’t work out. It’s not easy to open your wii, it’s plastic so you can break it easily. Once I opened it I really couldn’t get the thing on. I tried soldering it for about an hour but something would always turn out wrong. I got very frustrated and ended up with $70 worth of unused modchip.
I’d heard of ConsoleModder.com a few times before I went ahead and gave it a try. At $15 it’s a lot cheaper than the wii modchip I got, and delivery was a lot quicker. As soon as I payed for it I was taken to a page to download the software, the page also had detailed instructions to use the software.
The program itself is simple. You simply plug in your SD drive, select it, and click Configure Card. Once it pops up a message letting you know it’s done you simply remove your card and put it in your Wii. The whole thing is done with in 5 minutes.
Once you have your console modded you can use the wii dvd player, use it to play wii backups, play free original games made for the Wii, and use cheats on your Wii games.
It’s by far the best wii mod chip to date. With DVD players costing upwards of $100 it’s a bargain to convert your wii to play DVD for only $15. If you’re looking to mod your console then consolemodder.com is definitely they way to do it

The Japanese site also mentions a few new aspects of the game including the Easy Mode in which the blocks are large and the playing field is small. I imagine my little cousin will like this mode….and I probably will too.
