i dont know if youre good with soldner but lattest version (3rd Generation) of the Wii needs 30 Micro-Soldner for the chip. and the version before is a bit less. So basicly the first Wii generation are the easiest to mod.

You use nomal DVD-R media and burn the ISO at 3x to be sure

There might be a soft mod coming on with an exploit from a save game but i wont hold my breath for that

what the heck?
30 soldiers?
that like rebuilding the whole machine:)
all mods use 30 soldiers+- ?
didnt do any soldiering for along time but i think i can handle it,the problem is this shit is hard to find its out of stock all over the place.

The latest chip (Argon) can do latest wii's with 13 wires for the basic install.

Still very difficult as 11 of them are to ic (chip) legs.. so practise a lot before attempting, as these points are tiny, and don't let the install pics fool you, the real deal is much smaller than theymight make you think.

Go for the Argon chip with the Injectus add-on (Injectus allows you to update the chips firmware via USB making it future proof).
If you are buying a 2nd hand Wii that uses the D2A or D2B chipsets then go for a Wiinja Deluxe, it has the same compatibility as the Wiikey & can be updated via DVD. The support for Wiikey is dead but the Wiinja Deluxe still has a support forum etc & updates if required, making it the most future proof.

Edit: Ever considered a solderless solution Wink

Solderless solution?? all I Seen was a clip that you still had to solder the chip to it. Also if it's anything like the Matrix modschip for Xbox original it scratched and ruined xbox motherboards it wasnt reliable. But im interested in knowing more about it, could you explain?

The chip does need to be soldered onto the clip but as per the above site, you can buy it already soldered. Then all you do is open your Wii & push the clip over the D2C chip then put your wii back together again.

how much is it? I am in US not sure what f50 means. but it doesnt say if its even in stock, I would prefer to order from US. Know of any US sites? and does this chip play all the games without freezing?

Its £50 which is about $90, i'm not aware of any US sites as I live in the UK.
It would play all Wii games perfectly.
