i just bought the wii system recently, and i want to install the modchip, but it really confused me they are so many out there, i don't know which one i shall get,"Official WiiKey Mod Chip With Hologram","DuoWii Mod Chip For Nintendo Wii","Official D2Pro v2 9 Wire Wii Mod Chip"," Official D2Pro Wii Mod Chip ",what are the different between them, all i want to is to play backup games,any responds will be greatly appreciate.
The main thing to consider when buying a modchip. There are different wii versions and different modchips to go with them. If you just recently bought your wii then you have a D2C or a D2C2 wii, and need a modchip that will work with those. This one will work for D2C and D2C2, just make sure that you dont have an earlier chipset before buying anything. http://www.canadamods.ca/store/index.php...od&productId=49
Anyway, D2C and D2C2 are different versions of the chip on the driveboard that the modchip connects to. Earlier versions included DMS, D2A and D2B. Some of the D2B chips also had several cut legs on them, making them much more difficult to mod. However, since your wii was bought recently, its almost certenly a D2C. I would still check it before buying anything just to be sure but something like the one I sent the link to is most likely what you're gonna want.
Also, the serial checker isnt very accurate with the newer chipsets, i think it just says 50%/50% which is neither here nor there. Open up your wii and have a look i would say. If it is a d2c, then i would also do a search around as there are some other slight possible differences between the d2c and the d2c2, such a a different drive spindle on some versions....believe me it gets very complicated.
I'd also google some forums too to see what mod chip people have used with serial numbers near your range.
This is all advice from personal experience, as i didnt want to end up with an unusable chip.
