Someone posted that link in #psgroove earlier, it's pretty hilarious. Modchips for the Wii are stupid though, since all they let you do is play games off of DVD-/+R discs. I guess technically you can run some type of installer disc once you have a chip installed, but it would be easier (and free) to just use an SD card and BannerBomb or something like that. I do understand that some people do like to make legal backups of their discs, but I prefer to take my games and install them to my USB HDD. First, you would need to get a certain DVD-ROM that can read Wii discs to make the backups, or you'd have to install a USB loader, rip the disc to your HDD (or SD card) using your Wii, then burn to a disc from your PC (both of which are legal methods in most regions), or you'd have to download them illegally. With a USB loader, you just attach an HDD, and rip the game straight to the HDD from the Wii, then keep your precious $50 game scratch free forever, and of course delete that **** should you ever get rid of the game. However, and many will disagree (and also, I do not do this), but since a lot of people consider buying and selling used games just as bad as piracy, then buying the game at retail (dev gets paid), installing the game to your HDD, then selling the disc to GameStop or whatever...really doesn't seem that bad. The devs are never going to see any money from that game again, so your initial purchase is the only thing that really matters. Technically it's win-win for all parties involved, since there's no stopping used game sales.
