Not really!  As much as we’d all love to see an HD Loader for the wii, in the form of a disc that lets you swap out your games and play your import games without a modchip, it just doesn’t make sense.  While there are some Wii HD Loader type programs out there, mainly for homebrew gaming, the ability for these Wii HD Loaders to support all of the current games and homebrew is, so it seems, impossible.

The other issue that really stands out, and one that most people who are looking for a Wii HD Loader don’t realize, is that unlike a Wii Mod Chip – Soft Modding your Wii with a Wii Hd Loader can, and is detected, and then quickly shut down. New versions are released, fixes abound, but the fact remains that you could be just one Nintendo update away from rendering your Wii absolutely useless.

You see, Wii Modchips don’t actually overwrite the firmware on your Nintendo Wii console.  They in essence allow you Wii console to load whatever it is you want it to load – and then as quickly as they turned on, they turn right off again.  This is not the case for Wii HD Loader type products.  They over write the firmware of your Nintendo Wii console and thus make permanent changes to your Wii – changes that can be seen should someone want to check.  Countless updates have rendered these quick fixes useless.  And in many cases, people are bricking their Nintendo Wii console while trying to load the Wii HD Loader software to over write the firmware of their Wii.

We receive emails from customers (numerous emails each and every day) asking us just how they can unbrick their now bricked Wii Consoles because they tried to load the firmware HD Loader and ended up turning their Wii into a door stop.  Sadly, there is little that can be done when this happens, and sending it back to Nintendo to repair will fully reveal that you have tampered with the firmware – and you can bet your games on the fact that Nintendo will NOT be fixing you console.

The best, and safest method has always been, and continues to be a Mod Chip for the Wii.  There are solderless mod chips that are simply plug in and play.  You just attach the DVD Cable to the chip, and then another cable from the chip to the DVD Drive, plug it in, and you’re done (and you can remove it just as easily as you put it in, should you sell your Wii or need to have it serviced.

Get the right Nintendo Wii ModChip when you’re considering chipping wii consoles.  This is the most important step.  Before you do any chipping of wii consoles – make sure you’re buying the wii modchip that will work in your system.

There are a lot of Wii modchips out there, all vying for your attention when you’re ready to start chipping Wii Consoles.  And with a lot of selection, can come a lot of confusion.  But it’s actually much easier than you think.  It all boils down to which Wii console you want to start chipping.  And a lot can be figured out by the date you purchased your Nintend Wii console.  At least that WAS the case until now.

Many of todays wii modchips are 100% universal in that they will work in a any Nintendo Wii consoles.  So you don’t have to go through the hassles of trying to find out which model you have, and chipping your wii consoles will be a lot easier than it was in the past.   There are solderless mod chips, that don’t even require you to own a soldering iron, as well as wii modchips that only need you to connect 4-6 wires (As opposed to the 25-30 wires it used to be)
