I asking about why does the CONSOLE price differ between modded and unmodded, Umodded selling around RM1.2k+ modded selling RM799 the diffrent is hugeeee

So if I bought let said US modded set I can just Update to the lasted firmware to revert it back to original firmware just like those psp firmware?

THANKS!

Now unmodded NTSC-US Wii ain't that expensive anymore, a basic console package is now only RM950. Adding an extra wiimote and nunchuk adds up to RM1k.

About the question on why modded sets are cheaper than unmodded sets is because:
1) Korean Wii cheaper than US Wii for a number of reasons, for example, Original Wii sports which Korean Wii are not included with, and Korean Wii lacks GameCube backward compatibility.

2) ONE word, WARRANTY

That's all that I can think of right now.

Correct me if I'm wrong guys!

Korean Wii cannot play gamecube game? But it got gamecube connector.. I just bought my Wii yesterday for RM990 with 2 set of control. Is it ok? Motion plus need to add extra RM100. WHat is the cheapest price for Wii Fit and Motion plus?

dragonfly, u r korek la. add that to d list. warranty is d important thing i forgot. and korean wii, i read somewhere (i like to read ma), that memang got problem with gamecube games. but i also read somewhere somebody did something and his korean wii can now play gamecube games. but i guess u can't believe everything on the net. and even if true is an exception.

korean wii does not have legal GC backwards compatibility

if there are any backdoor access...i don't know...probably cause i didn't do any research on it

how super is your super wii promotion? yes, you can pm me what is your super offer cos i'm looking some acessories.

yup. your question spark me to do more browsing. and i been hearing success stories so far. but all softmodding has a risk, and that includes unmodding. different modded wiis have different mod setup. so if u so happen to have a mod setup that is not 'mainstream', those sucess stories may not apply to u.

wii motion i'm selling RM85.. wii fit RM350 free silicon case.. and 1 original game..

Hello,

Newbie here. Thanks for all the infos. I spent about a day reading and trying to digest this lengthy thread. May I know where to get original accessories like nunchuk? It is disappointing to discover that many shops are selling transvestite @ gay Korean accessories. Tq

Well, korean accessories aren't bad actually. Its the consoles that goes into surgery and becomes transexuals.

However, if you want US accessories, I do have them, but the price, is steeper than the korean ones. The only problem is u might not understand the manual, but that's not a real problem at all.

thanks for the useful information btw how to distinguish between console region set? by it serial number? sticker? i never seen a WII at close before

Take a look at the box. If its Korean, you will see 3 vertical bars on the top right of the box (The one displaying the console and wii remote.)

To look at US region consoles (note, I said region), there are 2 ways.
1. The Wii Sports is included as the original game, with the sticker on the right of the display box.
2. Take a look at the sides of the box. If you can find USA or ASI at a certain corner, it should be the US console.
3. On the sides too, if you can find a singapore and malaysian address, then its a Wii with US region in it.

How to check the region in the console, is actually tougher, but you could do so by these small steps.
1. Check firmware version. If its 4.2U, it is US. It hasn't been cracked yet.
2. If you have checked the box thoroughly, and opened it to see that the channels in the console are as similar and default as other Wiis (No Neo gamma launchers), then you by chance should own an US Wii.

I may be wrong, so go ahead and correct me if possible. With the regards to the box, that's all accurate. Thanks.

There's also the way of checking the sticker at the bottom of the Wii(when its placed vertically).

There's something like "RVL JPN" for Japanese Wii, "RVL KOR" for Korean Wii.
Serial numbers that start with LUXXX.. for US Wii, LJXXXX.. for JPN Wii, LEXXX.. for PAL Wii and etc..

And the language on sticker for the Warning is also dependent on the region of the Wii too, Japanese for Japanese Wii, Korean for Korean Wii etc..

You get the idea~

Hi sifu, nowaday, Wii Korea are soft modded is it? Can I change it back to non-Modded?

the korean wii in malaysia is modded. the korean wii sold in korea is not. not only its modded, it when through a language change. so is like a change sex operation.

a formal answer would be cannot. coz tukar jantina operations are difficult to undo. but my personal opinion - it is just software. and any software engineer will tell u that u can make software do anything - . it is a question of effort and complexity. but so far i haven't heard any success story. having said that, a hardcore modder will tell u don't unmod, instead press on and mod it somemore.

Hmm... I got confused by this thread http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=939583 . It says 'Original Taiwan' and 'Fake Korean'.

US accessories are at steeper price? How much?

Means, the Korean Wii in Malaysia are hard modded or soft modded?

mostly softmodded (as in nearly all)

US version, for wii remot and nunchunk, RM 300 and more. Not kidding.
