MeltonMods - Wii Modchips

Older units (serials earlier than LAH10216xxx) are fitted with a Wiikey compatible flashed with the latest firmware (1.9s) - $50.

Newer units (serial number LAH10216xxx and higher) are fitted with a Wiikey 2 modchip for $100. CLICK HERE for details.

(Firmware of Wii is also updated to the newest available version as part of the service!)
Modifying the Wii will allow the console to boot backup games, and to boot games from other regions which normally would not work on your console.

The modchip used and recommended by Meltonmods is a Wiikey compatible, with 1.9s firmware installed.

  • Direct boot of wii backups
  • Direct boot of GC backups
  • Direct boot of homebrew in GC mode
  • Supports all currently available console/drive versions
  • Supports D2B chipsets
  • Sophisticated (true) update mechanism via DVD (future proof, expect cool features to come)
  • Direct boot of different NTSC region Wii games/backups on US and JAP consoles
  • Partial support for NTSC region Wii games/backups on PAL consoles
  • Boots different region GC games/backups (partially without swapping)
  • Supports multi-disc games for BOTH Wii and Gamecube
  • Supports DVD-R / true DVD+R and +RW support (no bitsetting required!)
  • Improved readsettings for recordable media
  • Built-in audio fix
  • Supports fullsize 4GB discs for gamecube homebrew
  • Stealth mode
  • 512 byte EEPROM to store configuration
  • Quicksolder interface - no wires required

  • Compact design, best quality components, rock solid high speed controller
  • Professional ESD packing
  • Recovery mode - Can recover from a bad flash

    The cost for modifying an Wii is $50 which includes the modchip and the lifetime warranty.

    (If your Wii is the newest chipset (serial number LAH10216 and higher) which requires MUCH more work and a different modchip, pricing will be $100 and a Wiikey 2 modchip will be used.)

    NOTE: If you insert a game from another region and it requests to update your Wii then there is a chance your Wii will be 'bricked' (broken) if you allow the process to continue. The best way to avoid this problem is to keep your Wii always updated with the latest firmware.

    Meltonmods will accept no liability for 'bricked' consoles!
