Reports have come in claiming that the Nintendo Wii D2C chipset has been hacked and that a product called the Wii "D2C" Modchip Actel will soon be available to take advantage of the exploit. Installing this on your console will allow you to directly boot backups and Gamecube games, it's also reportedly compatible with the Wiikey.

The mod hasn't been perfected yet with only 80 percent of region protected games confirmed working without any problems. Installation also looks to be a scary process as it requires micro-soldering 30 wires to attach the chip to the Wii. The developers of the product have given word that these issues might be remedied by the time the product comes out though.

The modchip is expected to be sold for € 37 (about US$ 53). If you want to find out more about the product, click on our link below.
