Thread: Help selecting a wii modchip

Without actually cracking open the Wii here's what wiidrives.com says:


The console has model number RVL-001(USA), produced for Canada/Mexico/USA.

* There is a 80% chance the chipset is GC2-D2C2 (v2) and the drive has the new metal clip.
* And there is also a 20% chance the chipset is GC2-D2C (v1).

I bought my chip solderless for a little more so I could have it on in no time.

Others would recommend you using Verbatim DVD-R but it's your decision, as long as it works.

There's also something called homebrew (softmod), which you should look into to see if it's right for you, though it requires (from my understanding) a little more time to set it up just right. I am still considering setting it up even though I have a mod chip because of its many great features.

Anything else just ask.

cool very cool

i have had really good luck with the wasabi zero, it has the 6x read speed so no lag... has easy set up block udates , play out of region so scrubbed brick blocked not neccesary... Also do not have to worry about big (N) updates...

I was going to go with the Wasabi Zero as well because of its feature's and it has less problems, but I was recommended by canadamods to go with the d2pro9 and don't regret it
