Gamers live to polish that car. It is as is if the puttering never ends. Its the same with online gamers and those especially who have fallen in love with the Nintendo Wii products especially the DS and DS Lite game platforms. What is the role of the modchips – its most famed and well known use is to modify the DVD optical drives themselves. Wonder why ?
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 “.
It is now as easy as pie , with new techniques that even a simpleton can do. It used to be that any “upgrades” or “enhancements” required hot solder and soldering. More than one intricate electronic device – be it cd player , computer , satellite tv setup or Nintendo Wii DS, or Wii DS lite or other gaming platform device has been ruined and determined “inoperative” due to inexperience or lack of care on the part of the amateur electronic hobbyist or even professional.
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 .
