Finding The Best Chip For Wii
Getting a chip for Wii is the best way to release the hidden power of your Nintendo Wii. There are a couple of different ways you can go about getting a chip for Wii. One is a physical modchip and the other is a soft mod.
Both the modchip and soft mod offer the same thing. You can play copied/imported games, backup your games and install homebrew applications such as the Playstation 1 emulator (Metal gear solid woo!) or even install the media centre application which will truly blow your mind.
There are a few different mod chip for Wii available and you can typically buy one for around $50-$60. The problem with any mod chip for Wii though is you will then need to either pay for professional installation of the modchip often costing $50; or install it yourself which requires dismantling the console and precisely soldering it into place which is very difficult.
Don’t be fooled by the solderless mod chip for Wii that is available, as you still have to solder the chip to the solderless socket. Stupid I know.
The other option you have is to use the soft mod chip for Wii. Developed by the HomeBreWare team the soft mod costs $30 – cheaper than a game! And takes as little as 10 minutes to install. It does not require any professional fitting and comes complete with video instructions on how to get the soft mod chip for Wii running smoothly. It’s a painless process and can be done by anyone without even touching your console.
The soft mod chip for Wii is definitely the best way to mod your Nintendo Wii, its cheaper than a modchip and very easy to install without any technical know how. Although I have no experience with a modchip, the soft mod chip for Wii has served me well and the support is superb!

What is the main difference in between A nintendo wii soft chip and a wii chip?
Hi,
A soft chip is just a piece of software that you install on your nintendo wii. Where as an actual wii modchip requires you to dismantle your console and solder it into place.
