> [@Djs87](#): > > If any company out there deserves customers to actually buy their games, its nintendo. I disagree, based upon their treatment of the emulation community and their practices of censorship of cross-platform games. Remember what they did to Mortal Kombat for the SNES? Fuck Nintendo.

The wii modchips are very easy to install with basic soldering skills. I wouldn’t go doing it if you never soldered before, but is not difficult at all. ---

Who does it locally and for how much? yeah it pretty much is. for the d2c chipsets, you have to solder directly to the legs of the chip, which is very time consuming, even with the right tools. i don’t know anybody that does it locally. i might be getting the tools soon to accomplish the task since i want to upgrade my solder tools anyways. we’ll see … ---

not sure but a friend went up there and he said it was simple, they let u wait while they mod it. he said it was some hole in the wall store front. I guess the new ones are harder or something, easier to goto ebay and get an older one, easier to mod. ---
