Hi guys,

I have a US Wii and I bought it premodded but the guys I bought it from are dumb and they are just resellers so they don't know **** about Wii modchips.

Now, since the SMG release, I've tried to update my chip with every modchip firmware that got released. I tried out the Wiikey update, the Wiinja update, etc but it won't update. Now, I am thinking of taking that **** out and probably installing a genuine modchip. I've got my hopes pinned on Wiinja Deluxe, which I'll be ordering online with the help of my cousin.

Also, I know most of you guys would recommend me to open my Wii up and take a look inside, but I think it would be better if I let a professional do it, and since he's gonna open it up anyways, I would like the genuine modchip to be installed then and there.

Now, my question (and the reason for this thread) is if its a quick solder job, will the modder have any problems doing a wired install ? coz thats what I would prefer rather than a quick solder and hence a Wiinja Deluxe in a PCB :D

Are there any precautions that he needs to take while doing the whole thing. Also, the reason I am asking all this is coz I intend to let my PS2 modder friend to do it for me. He is quite professional when it comes to PS2 modding :)

Thanx a lot in advance guys. Desperately waiting for a reply :)

Sorry didnt read the whole post ;) but it sounds to me like you want another chip. Open yours first. Find out what chip you have. Then do an external install if possible, use an open source chip like yaosm or openwii or a dumped version of 1.9g wiikey. I dont know if winja deluxe has SMG update. I know that yaosm openwii cyclowiz and wiikey do however. Open it first find out what it is.

hey if i were you i would just open it up and see, but if you think you will mess it up, then dont do it.

The old wii versions are extremely easy to mod. There is nothing to it. Any person who has had any, and i mean any, solder expierince will be able to do this no sweat. It is like asking a mathmatician what an asymptote is.
