Hackers have created the first mod-chip to compromise Wii's anti-piracy software, and will make the chip available for public purchase in February.
The new 'Wiinja' Chip has to be soldered to certain points on the Wii's motherboard. Once installed, the Wii will play 'back-up' (copied) versions of Wii and GameCube games.
Its major downfall is that it will only play copied games of the same region, rendering it useless for playing import games - the key reason to consider getting a mod-chip.
Websites have already started taking pre-orders on the chip, which is expected to go for around $55, with installation costing more unless you run the risk of fitting it yourself.

Just two months after its release...the first mod chip has been created. More to come in the future, I am sure..
