When it rains it pours: Yet another Wii mod chip is in the wild. The Wiid claims that it will have:

  • Non Swap/Direct Boot for Wii and GameCube backups
  • Non Swap/Direct Boot for Homebrew in GameCube mode
  • Removes region coding
  • Compatible with all the Wii Console Versions/Drive currently
    available
  • Full support for DVD-R/DVD+R and DVD+RW/DVD-RW without Booktype
  • Recovery Mode for incomplete/Bad Upgrades
  • Stealth mode
  • Firmware fully Upgradable via DVD

    I don’t plan on damaging my Wii, so no thanks. Though I would like to be able to play DVDs on my Wii, so if there was a chip to enable that I may take a chance.
