Why am I writing this ? Well, I wanted to play Wii backups and imported games so I decided to look into how to unlock my Nintendo Wii on the net hoping that I could find some way to unlock my Wii without having to change any chips.
I found several Wii unlock products that looked promising, but there weren’t many decent reviews around of them so I decided to write one myself.
I’ve listed the full range of products I tested in an earlier post – if you want to have a look at what’s available you should have a look at this post.
I eventually settled on the Wii Unlocker Ultra utility produced by MyHomeBreWare and was so pleased with it I decided to write a review to help out anyone else who’s in the same situation
I’ll try to bring you both the good and bad points, but to be quite honest I’m struggling to find the bad ones !
Wii Unlocker Ultra good points
Wii Unlocker Ultra unlocks the following features on my Wii :
- I can unlock safely with NO hardware modifications or mod chips needed.
- I can play backup games and play imported games that are region locked (including USA -NTSC and Europe-PAL).
- I can make copies of my existing games (or games borrowed from a friend !).
- I can play N64, SNES, NES and Sega Genesis games, as well as games from other consoles.
- I can play homebrew games, play DVD movies and Mp3 songs.
Installation onto my Wii console was a breeze – it comes with easy to follow instructions that even a 5 year old could follow !
However the main thing that clinches it for me (and I imagine for most people) is that you get access to the Wii UNLOCKER ULTRA Elite Gamers Membership! – where you can find Wii related mods, cheats, guides, games, Wii updates, downloads and lot more! Plus there’s new Videos and How To’s added to the members area every month.
Wii Unlocker Ultra bad points
The only downside I can find is that some people may play illegally downloaded games (eg downloaded using torrents) but I’m not that type of person and I’m sure you’re not 
Conclusions
To sum up I was a little sceptical at first that a Wii Unlocking Software program would be as good as a mod chip. I’m pleased to say that with it’s low price, money back guarantee (which I forgot to mention – it comes with a 60 day no questions asked guarantee) and easy installation Wii Unlocker Ultra wins hands down !

BreWii
WiiUnlockPlus
HomebrewInstaller
ConsoleUnlock
They all appear pretty similar to be honest. The functions they offer that are common to all are :
- Unlock any Wii console worldwide without any hardware modification or modchip.
- Play backup games, downloaded games and play imported games that are region locked.
- Play N64, SNES, NES and Sega Genesis games, as well as games from other classic consoles.
- Play all homebrew applications and games including Wii Earth and Pong.
- Play DVD movies and Mp3 songs.
OK so they all meet the most important feature which is the ability to play backup and imported games without modchip or anything else that might damage your wii console.
So the next things I need to check out are how easy it is to install, how much it costs, are there free upgrades and how good is the customer support for these products.
I won’t be looking for a Wii unlock using a modchip as this will invalidate the warranty, so I’ll be concentrating my search on Wii unlocking software.
Keep checking back for more news as this is will be the first of many posts.
