Chiip is an
open source Nintendo Wii Modchip. The biggest
difference between Chiip and other modchip is
the fact that you build the modchip your self.
There are two
parts that need to be build. First you need to
build a device that allows you to upload the
firmware from pc to a micro controller.
Secondly, you need to make the modchip itself.
If you can
install modchips such as the WiiKey, Wiinja or
CycloWiz then you can build the Chiip. You need
to have little soldering experience to build the
Chiip.
