By Corey Greek

So you like to modify your Nintendo Wii to run copied games to protect your original games from uninvited dents. Or possibly, you like to modify your Nintendo Wii for some other wicked motive.

What matters, and what we will be talking about, are the effects you will need to endure once you attach a mod chip on your Wii's motherboard.

These are the things you have to consider before you opt on modifying your Wii:

- By modifying your Wii, you will effectively void its warranty. If your console is no longer within warranty , Nintendo repair centers still won't entertain the same for violating the TOS. Intermediary repair centers that repair Nintendo Wiis are very, very few this time in the console's life cycle, so your selections will be narrowed if and when your Wii does crash.

Keepn in mind, to take pleasure in all the Wii can offer, you will have to attach the system to the net. This will let Nintendo to distantly investigate your engine. In the periods to come, they may make use of connectivity to restrict the features you can enjoy, much like how Xbox Live has barred modded Xbox 360s from carrying out internet games supported by its channel.
