Unleash Your Wii With The Wii Soft Chip
The Nintendo Wii soft chip is by far the easiest method of unlocking your Nintendo Wii. Giving you the same performance and features as a traditional modchip, the Wii soft chip is cheaper, easier to install and carrys no risk of damaging your console.
What Does The Wii Soft Chip Do?
The Wii soft chip is a small piece of software that makes changes to the Nintendo Wii’s file system allowing you to bypass built in copy protection systems and digital rights management. This means you can play copied games or run a number of homebrew applications to extend the functionality of your Nintendo Wii.
Wii Soft Chip Features
Installing the Wii soft chip will let you do a number of things on your Nintendo Wii-
1. Play Copied Games
The primary purpose of the Wii soft chip is to bypass the built in copy protection of the Nintendo Wii. This means you can load and play copied Wii & Gamecube games. Whether they be games you have downloaded online and burnt to a blank DVD, or games you have borrowed from friends or rented and made your own copy of.
2. DVD Playback
Although the Nintendo Wii has a DVD drive, it is unable to read and play DVD movies due to limitations put in place by Nintendo. The Wii soft chip however, fixes this and allows you to watch your favorite films in all of there glory.
3. Console Emulators
There are a range of emulators available for every classic console including the Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64 and Sega Megadrive/Genesis to name a few. This means you are no longer restricted to the virtual console games library and you can play any game you wish from past consoles completely free.
4. Copy Games
Using a special homebrew application, you will be able to make direct copy’s of Wii and Gamecube games easily. You can choose to store these on your PC or burn them to a blank DVD to play on your Wii.
5. Home Media Center
My personal favorite, the media center application takes your Nintendo Wii to a whole new level. With full support for all popular video and audio formats (including XviD/DivX) you can watch all of your favorite films and TV series through your Nintendo Wii at the click of a button.
6. Game & Media Library
You can load all of yours Wii/Gamecube games, movies/TV series, music and pictures onto a USB hard drive. This will give you one touch access via the WiiMote to every game, movie and music album in your collection without the need to get off the sofa and change discs! Combined with the media center above, this is a killer feature.

Take a look at the video below to see exactly how the Wii soft chip can benefit you-
Wii Soft Chip vs Modchip
The Wii soft chip has some significant benefits over the traditional modchip.
The Wii soft chip costs roughly half the price of a modchip
You don’t have to take your console apart to solder a modchip in place
It does NOT void your warranty with Nintendo
It can be easily removed if needed by resetting the Wii to factory settings
It has all of the same great features and functions as a modchip
Regular updates add new features and functionality
Universally compatible with all Wii software versions
Installing The Wii Soft Chip
Unlike traditional modchips that need you to dismantle the console and solder a modchip in place, the soft chip is much easier to install. Anyone can install the Wii soft chip without any previous experience! It’s so easy in fact, my grandma could do it! All you need is an SD memory card.
Installing the Wii soft chip is a simple 3 step process
Step 1: Buy and download a Wii soft chip
Step 2: Copy the soft chip to an SD memory card and insert it into your Wii
Step 3: Start the automated 10 minutes installation process
After the automated installation is completed, your Nintendo Wii will restart and be fully unlocked!
Picking The Best Wii Soft Chip
There are a number of Wii soft chips available to buy, these include MyHomeBreWare, HomeBrewInstall, WiiUnlockPlus and BreWii. All of the soft chips do the same thing and the only difference between them is the quality of guides/instructions, customer support and price.
I have tried a few of the different Wii soft chips with varying degrees of satisfaction. Please see my personal soft chip reviews below-
