There is no shortage of Wii modchips at this point, all claiming to be the best on the market. The newest modchip raises the bar with its promise of DVD playback on the Wii, something Nintendo left out in order to save costs. The creators of the WiiXT modchip claim the chip supports region-free DVD playback on the Wii, in addition to the usual Wii and GameCube backup and homebrew games. Check out some more info on the official site here.

It’s just an addition to being a normal mod-chip. Why not add in something else?

“dvd was good………. 5 years ago”
