Wiifree modchip: Solderless mod

Announcing a mod…for a modchip. Takrin over at WiiNewz has been working on a variation of the Wiifree modchip that’s currently in circulation. What makes Takrin’s mod interesting is that it combines the Wiifree’s (free) software coding to a PCB, held in place with just double-sided tape and foam – the chip isn’t soldered onto the Wii console. Takrin also added solder pads on the chip in case users preferred soldering the chip in.

The modder hasn’t tested the chip during the time of this report – he further comments that this solderless Wiifree mod is still a prototype. Just keep in touch in case Takrin updates with test results, project updates, or even an instruction guide. For now, here are sample pics of the chip – the larger PCB is for the upgradeable, while the smaller PCB is for the non-upgradeable version of this Wiifree mod.
