What is the legality of this? Do the mod chips include any copyrighted material such as BIOS firmware?
stuckpixel:
Pretty much all of the Wii modchips are actually drive-chips. So, no copyrighted info in them.
Last I checked, they were being sold in the US legally. They have legitimate uses (such as being able to buy and play Japanese games, or play gamecube homebrew). Nintendo made a bad decision in region-locking the Wii, so a lot of people are getting them solely for that reason.
saint:
Thanks. Carry on then :)
Hoagie_one:
yeah, no bios hacks yet.

And after modding mine last weekend, I noticed the complete lack of "remove this sticker removes your warranty" stickers.
I'm kinda curious if I voided my warranty... or if they could really do anything legally about it...
but great for backing up titles for those who have kids who treat dvds like crap..
