You may of heard discussions among "hardcore" online and computer gaming types of modchips and especially among diehard Wii fans of "Wii Modchips". Just what are these electronic devices and what are their roles and functions - at least in relation to these gaming nutcases and their fascinations and pleasures ?
Before the advent of Wii "Modchips" these computerized gaming platforms could not be altered , upgraded or "enhanced' in any way, shape , form or manner. However leave it gamers to figure a workaround. When it comes to gamers and those who compete in online games and internet gaming "Where there is a will there is a way ".
What has made Wii modding with these modchips is the advances in install procedures and tactics. It used to be that actual soldering onto the electronics board of the gaming electronic circuit board was the only means of completing the procedure. Enter simple "solder less" modding. Its simply a matter of pull out and replace in or simply insert the purchased modchip directly onto the board or Wii components itself. Simple as pie.
Now its a simple case of no fuss , no muss. Previously there were complaints about upgrading or modding Wii devices. Since it was a much more complex and staid procedure , often involving the cost of shipping , with inherent loss along the way - to highly specialized practitioners and technical experts - many stayed away from modding their devices - no matter what competitive edge it gave them in the competitive world of online gaming.
The first generation Wii modchips were based on the "Actel" systems. It was programmable and considered upgradable - yet it was all a bit fairly too complex for most beginner and even intermediate game modders.
Its downright amazing what comes out of that little Wii box. Sure there are other platforms for gaming. Yet Nintendo always seems to be the company that brings high quality gaming devices to the consumer at mass market prices , and in the end can be said to dominate the market through its adept combination's of product , pricing and merchandising. Nintendo can be said to be the "Henry Ford' of computer gaming - just like Commodore was to computers with its Commodore 64 and 128 computer lines. Many people who may never have taken up computer gaming have entered as avid enthusiasts with their entry level platform of the Nintendo Wii. With an estimated 10.9 Wii console gaming units being sold alone in the US , there will be no shortage of Wii consoles to modify .
