To Drive Chip or not to Drive Chip?
Posted: Sat Jul 19, 2008 5:23 pm
I've had my Wii for about a week now, and I've been exploring the homebrew scene and taking a look at everything on offer - however, one thing that I've not been able to get too much info on are the advantages (other than loading backup/pirated games) of a drive chip.
I've got a 3.3E, and I've got Homebrew channel installed, so are there any real advantages as to getting a mod chip? I mean, the only one I can think of would be I'd be able to play back up game discs, meaning that the likely hood of my younger sister trashing discs is greatly diminished.
So, in a nut shell I have two questions.
1. Is there any real point getting a drive chip if I already have the homebrew channel?
2. If I do get a chip, should I go the cheap way and self-install a Wii Key (I have a uncut D2B), or dish out for a Wasabi and install or something?
