Question Hi
I am from India.I was presented a Wii bought(Dec 2008) in USA.In India Wii has not been officially launched and obviously no games too.I downloaded few games(US region games) through internet torrents and burnt it on to a DVD and tried to play but in vain.Later I came to know that the Wii has to be modified for the games to be played.I also learnt that there 2 ways of modification-1:installing a mod chip 2:loading some software
my question is can I also uninstall the modification software from the Wii? If yes how? where can I get the modification software?
also need help how to burn the games downloaded from internet onto a dvd
Thank you
Answer Gday Chandan,
I do not recommend Torrents to down load games (Simply because lots of Torrents have much unsafe software that mysteriously finds it way on to your computer. Plus it is illegal.)
You are right and there are 2 ways of getting around the copyright protection. Hardware or Software. Both ways can stop working due to patches Nintendo keeps pushing out software patches that circumvents your circumvent.
If I where to do the software option is the safer to go as it does not void you warranty or you have to muck about with soldering. All it really is is loading up a new homebrew I would look into the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess hack. (If you update your Wii regularly with Nintendo it not going to work as they pushed out a patch early this year to stop it) There about a million and one guides out on the Internet on how to do it.
Or find one of the many mod chips which have become a little easy to install. (Basic Soldering skills)
Copying Games.... You should not copy any game unless it is one you own... (Again there are a lot of guides out there) my only advice is to use a good quality DVD as cheap ones will often fail.
