D2pro modchip update

Once installed Wii system updates wont effect the Modchip. Your wii can never be bricked. Compatible with D2B "cut pin" drives does not require the cut pins to be connected. Advanced automatic region detection with fall-back works even if a drive is changed to a different region Wii.

Disc speed configurable via DVD, with separate settings for different media types. Another great feature of this chip is the J-tag port for any future firmware updates basically the D2pro can be fully re-configured and upgraded by a connection to a PC.

Solder the clip to your modchip and then you wont have to solder anything to the console. It makes an install MUCH easier, though does have the drawbacks of coming loose and being generally less reliable. This may change in the future but for the time being it stands. Some newer games can detect some older modchips giving error but this can be fixed on some modchips by updating the chip's firmware.

Updating with a firmware from a different region can brick or semi-brick your console and should never be attempted. A semi-bricked console can be fixed by running a later update than the one that bricked the console from the proper region. The console is now semi-bricked. Games still play but the wii settings cannot be accessed.

If you run the NTSC 3. Questions on firmware 3. And it blocks truncha signed disks. Truncha disks can still be run by loading them through the gecko OS on the homebrew channel.

Scrubbed disks still work by most accounts. If you want more info on truncha and scrubbed disks search for them. It works just fine and you won't get banned. The same goes for any other wii online service, including online updates and the shop channel. Gamecube Game Backups: Gamecube game backups can be safely run from any region without fear of bricking because none of them have updates.

Updating the modchip: Not all modchips can be updated. Not going to go into all the details here. Again, if you need the info try searching for it. Backing Up Games: First off is downloading or backing up your games. If you choose to download one you will most likely get a collection of rar files.

First off remember that most DVD drives cannot read wii disks. In fact, only 4 models of DVD drive can read them, and they can be somewhat hard to track down. If you have a modded console you can run a homebrew program that will dump an iso of the game in your wii console to the SD card in the Gecko. Burning Games: However you get it, once you have your iso image the process of burning the game is simpler. Any DVD burner will work for burning wii games. Simply load up imgburn or nero and burn your iso file.

I recommend burning at 4x to reduce errors. The brand of the disk used is also important. Don't bother with the off-brand disks as you'll probably end up with a bunch of coasters. That concludes the generic copypaste newbie response. It will probably get longer in the future as more newbie questions are asked, but I think that hits most of the basics.

So would you recommend to hav wiic24 on?
