First Wii Mod Chip Shipping Out

Posted by Zonk on from the enjoy-your-indie-games-with-waggle dept.

Via Ars Technica's Opposable Thumbs blog, and their commentary on the device, a review of the first Wii mod chip at the MaxConsole site. The review offers step-by-step instructions for putting it in place, and then rates the resulting options opened up by the device. Most interestingly the chip is apparently updateable via a DVD, allowing for new functionality to be released for as time goes on. At $50 and with just a little soldering to get in place, the Wii CycloWhiz sounds like a great deal for anyone looking to do some outside-the-box thinking with Nintendo's console.

    Too bad the Wii doesn't have DVD support.

      You appear to have mistaken "Floppy Disk" with "DVD Disc" - or less redundantly, Digital Versatile/Video Disc. n00b.
