subject: Wii Console Unlock- Better Alternative Than Chipping And Voiding Your Warranty? [print this page] Do you own a Nintendo Wii and wish it had more functions available? The wii is one of the greatest gaming devices that has came out and many people love the feel over having control over the player and game functions when using the nunchuck. But dont you wish that you could play games that other game systems have that the wii does not support?
Many people attempt to hack their wii by opening up the device and installing a chip. This voids the warranty so if you encounter any issues you can not get your system repaired without paying a service fee. People take the risk of hacking their wii because it allows them to play downloaded backup games,install and play homebrew apps,and play dvd movies and mp3 songs. With chipping your wii you also get to play games from other older consoles like the nintendo 64,gamecube,snes,and sega system.
Even though this unlocks much more possibilities is it really worth voiding your warranty and forcing you to pay out of pocket for an issue that should be covered? When my son wanted to do this for his wii I was reluctant to look into chipping because he tends to break things easily. We learned about Console Unlock that does everything that chipping does but does not effect your warranty and does not cost as much.
When my son was asleep I ordered Console Unlock and installed it for him. He spent the next weekend playing all his older favorite games and he was even given 2000 extra games that were included with the purchase. It was a great investment and my son will be entertained for hours now.
