well the features list sayd OWN region
awesome, this is one cute buy im buying ( just some more confirmation, and a more desent reseller to offer it)

What a hack install. My 10 year old can do a better job than that.

is there a tutorial how to open a wii? I want to look inside but i dont want to damage it =)

i guess the only thing that is important is, that it is working, not if your 10years old son can do that better or not.. very very informative buddy, very, help's a lot here..

this is good , the wii starting to get hacked!

there aren't that many 3rd party developers developing for the wii as it is. now with the ability to pirate games, i think there will be even less support.

i'll think i'll wait till we get an upgradable modchip.

This one you can't update with newer versions of firmware on it, so when nintendo does force you to update to play newer games, you have to desolder the chip and buy a new one.

I would kinda perfur a free vesion and its by team ninja so...

I don't understand why this should not be updated after install. If it is truely a PIC you just have to attach some longer wires to the chip leading out of the console. Then attach those wires to a PIC programmer (those are like what 15$ diy kit, 25$ assembled) and start updating the thing when a new HEX comes out.

I'd say make the wires from the solder points go to an 8 pin socket outside the Wii. You can just swap a new PIC in or update the old one in a pic programmer.

In fact that's what I'm going to to next week. So when the HEX is read out and releases I'm only one PIC programming away from a working Wiinja clone for under 8$. Just found my never used USB programmer and ordered a Tri-Wing from e-bay.

Hope the wires don't get too long from the socket to the solderpoints.

What might be the best place to have the wires come out?

Can't wait!
