Wiip is a cheap modchip for the Nintendo Wii. This mod works by utilizing a cheap and simple microcontroller that communicates with the serial port of the Wii's hybrid DVD drive and overrides certain parts of the media's data stream. Allowing you to boot backups and imports.
The thing that makes Wiip different than other Nintendo Wii modchips is the fact that it's open source. Unlike the Chiip, you don't need to build the modchip you can just buy it. You can download the source and the schematics from the teams website.
