Wii Chipping

I'm looking into having my Wii chipped--my friend will chip
it for me (he chipped his PS2 and is very competent).

However, I'm unsure which chip to go for: I want one with
NTSC compatibility, full rather than partial would be best
(It's a PAL Wii).

Any suggestions appreciated.

I'm not the one to ask on this subject, but I decided to
bump the thread at the chance someone who can help
marlowe will see it.

Damn, I got all excited! But thanks for thinking of
me, you sweet sweet homie.

haha, as it turns out I'm an orphan. Who knew?

Oh, and sorry to get your hopes up. I saw the thread at the
very bottom of the page (I have the main page set to display
100 threads), and I felt bad that you weren't able to get
any suggestions. That's actually somewhat strange,
considering video games are discussed more frequently than
music at times.

I feel like Ophecks would have the answer if he were to log
on. He usually keeps up on all the consoles. At any rate,
good luck with the chipping. <3

I also thought I'd be guaranteed some sound advice on the
matter--my friend who'll be doing the actual chipping has
made some suggestions but has left it up to me to choose the
actual chip, but they all seem to say Partial for NTSC
compatibility so I don't wanna chip it and then find out
only Barbie Wii works!

Marlão you made a mistake of buying a PAL Wii, not all NTSC
games will run plus Mario Galaxy is also imcompatible with
modded systems but there are workarounds if you have the
right modchip. I'm waiting till next year and then I'll
import one from the US, I never buy PAL systems since I
don't like to play at 50Hz.

My GF won the Wii in a competition so I'm afraid we didn't
have much choice :\ Now...what's this about Mario Galaxy
being incompatible with modded systems?! I was planning on
purchasing that awesome-looking game!

Both original and copy will not run on a modded system, I'll
try to find the info and what modchip you have to have.

I have WiiKey and I recommend it.

D2CKEY modchip is the one that managed to load Galaxy DVDr
but the original will run on modded systems apparently.

What advantages are there to having my Wii chipped, I am
sorry but I don't really know what it would do.

It means you are able to download games, burn them to DVD,
and play them on your Wii.
