It was quite fun a few hiccups but nothing major. I think there was a total of 11 people playing which was pretty good as well for a little lan–I cant’ wait for another.

So today the last thing I needed to do my Wii Modchip install came in…I’m using OpenWii, I put the socket outside of the Wii so I can easily update the sob later on.

It was a long process collecting the proper tools/parts:

  • MicroChip 12F629 PIC
  • 8pin IC Socket
  • JDM Programmer
  • Tri-Wing Screwdriver

The disassembly:
