New Wii’s block mod chips May 25, 2007

unmoddable

A new Wii motherboard has shown up in Japan which blocks current modchips. The revised motherboard has three pins removed from one of the chips which renders modchips useless. There have been several reports of these motherboards appearing, however they are limited to only Japan for the time being.

The one thing to remember is that it blocks all “current” modchips, if the past teaches us anything modders/hackers are only slightly behind on new solutions to hardware changes.

  • My suggestion is to buy a new Wii. That's what happens to bootleggers.

    Novice needs help!
    Got modchip in my Wii a year ago, (don't know which brand) but just got a Wii fit, installed and updated as per the screen prompt, played it for 1 day. And the next day my Wii would not work on any burnt games as well as the Wii fit game, but it does work with other original Wii games.
    Any suggestions?

    The day i got my Wii , Desame day ive found out that Wii has a new Board , Hope modders/hackers finds a way to make this thing work, And by the way my Wii came from Japan. Sad to say till now no chips available to modify my Wii .

    Modders / Hackers My Wii Is In Your Hand
  • Yeah, there's really no way to stop the modders/hackers. But, if Nintendo keeps being this persistent it will probably keep a lot of people from chipping their wii simply because of the pain of figuring out which chips work with which wii.

    Actually, I'm wrong. Someone will simply just create a super chip that works on them all. :P
