I think hoagie_one is already offering that service.  Don't know his prices or anything.  An already slim market doesn't seem like something you'd want to dive into, unless you've got other markets as well to tap.

I don't really think there is a big market for wii mod chips anyway because... umm they're only good for piracy, no homebrew.  Couple that with the fact that so few wii games have been released and it isn't exactly cost-effective.

Well strange as it may seem, some people do mod their consoles solely for playing pirated games. Weird huh.

But that being said, the Wii's lack of a hard drive does massively limit the possibilities, and it's the main reason why I haven't been tempted to buy one yet, despite finding the controller intriguing.

If modding is going on only for pirating then I'd appreciate it if it went on somewhere else.  Thanks!

Well I suppose that even if there isn't any homebrew available yet (and I haven't checked) some people might genuinely want to back up games they've bought.

The legality of making backups of software you have bought hasn't been fully tested in court, and will also depend upon where you live.

[northerngames]

well some of the advantage's of having it modded is

Dvd-r/Dvd+r/Dvd+rw/dvd-rw FULL support
direct boot of gamecube homebrew and back-ups
speed fix that take's the lag/studdering out of some of the wii games
also make's the console 80 percent region free

not just to allow direct boot of wii back-up's

I was just offering a install service like many other's I am not selling or making illegal pirated game copies to go with them just a modding service to install the chips only but I have cancelled this post becuase I am not here to make any trouble or to start any trouble and I'm not going to get picked out of the crowd for piracy and get banned over a service already offered here for the wii xbox ps2 etc.

it is not worth it to me to get banned or run borderline of the fourms rules so I a cancelled this and now not even going to bother sorry.

In the U.S. it was a protected right. It's section 117 of the Copyright law. The original intent was to ensure a viable copy of software that came on volatile media, namely floppy disks. It was tested several times that I can recall, one of the cases involving Nintendo. Every time new media is introduced (floppy disks, solid state, CD, DVD) the law gets tested in court.

It's the DMCA that hasn't been properly contested in court. Combined with the HSA, it complicates a lot of things for the average joe and makes for a legal nightmare for everyone.

not true. chipping the wii allows you to run gamecube homebrew.

[SNAAKE]

wii chips arent illegal as they dont use any bios. and there are legal use it for it like running gamecube homebrews and playing story bought imported games. i'd use wii for emulators if I didnt have a modded xbox. just a thought.

[northerngames]

yeah I was just offering the chip install service I never mentioned anything about making or selling copied games along the side of the service but someone mentioned piracy for the games and my question/ad went downhill from there and I cancelledit becuase I do not want any trouble here and if it runs borderline of the forum rules I can take it elsewhere it is no biggie.

I origanaly offered to mod wii's with a chip and the return shipping labor time and chip for $50.00 total if this is o.k. with the mods here I will try the offer again but if it is not this topic can be locked or deleted please.
