Wii can play backups

After cracking one of the DVD's for the Nintendo Wii, I wanted to find a way to create and play backups as to not damage other disks (uh yeah).

I did some research and picked up a Wiikey modchip.















I am not going to go into detailed steps but I will link to some resources in the event you want do mod your own wii. A quick overview just to describe the pictures. First you crack open the case, a special tri-wing screwdriver is needed. Once you have the wii dissected, identify the solder points on the underside of the DVD drive and solder in your wires.



Once you have the wires soldered to the DVD drive you slide in the chip, bend and cut the wires to length, then solder those snipped ends to the wiikey.



It really isn't that hard to do but let me emphasize how small the solder points are. I had to look through a magnifying glass just to make sure things were attached. There isn't alot of room for error. The key is to tin your wires and only apply the iron for a split second, if you do not you will damage your wii.

enjoy!
