Which Wii unlocker to choose ?
I’ve investigated and it looks like this is going to be a bit more complex than I first thought ! I’ve found that there are SIX different brands of software available for Wii unlocking, and they are (if you want to check these out for yourself click on the links to visit the websites) :
HomebreWare
BreWii
Wii Unlocker Ultra
HomebrewInstaller
ConsoleUnlock
WiiUnlockPlus
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.
