Like shadow#1 said wii modchips have really been outclassed - if you *really* want to get a chip you need to know what drive type you have and if it's physically even able to be installed (later version had measures to prevent it) - but it really is not needed anymore and loading via usb is incredibly more convenient.

D2sun is pretty old chip - I wanna say 2007/2008, suprised there is still stock for it. That being said, if you want to have a piece of wii modding history I say go for it :)

Either way I just need instructions cause I can’t tell sh*t or if there’s certain wires I need to get (I assume this chip on ebay probably doesn’t come with any….)

First of all why do you want to build a modchip in a wii these days.........a softmod is free, works with every wii console (Wii Mini only with hardmods) and actually offers you almost everything a modchip can do and more. If you still want to install it, everything you need to know is actually in the picture. :wacko:

Also make sure your console is compatible with the modchip.

This should help: https://www.d2sun.com/index.htm

You'll probably have to buy wire......but first I would just write to the seller to see if any are included (usually everyone who solders occasionally has a few supplies)

But as mentioned before it's actually pretty useless and I wouldn't recommend it these days..............

Yes, I know that you can softmod them, but wasn't that rather useless because of the lack of ports that a normal wii has (SD etc.)?
It has a single USB, and USB hubs do work on it so you can have multiple USB devices. On the Wii Mini, pretty much everything is loaded via a USB drive

    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ its a single player game
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, Yea but it has a shitton of mods with their own songs and stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and quite a lot of people involved in those mods get cancelled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Newgrounds wasn't the birth of FNF; rather, it was games where you beat up celebrities and parodies.

  • a_username_that_is_cool @ a_username_that_is_cool:
    FNF was born from Game Jams
