Nintendo Stops Modders With Glue

Nintendo has just landed a serious blow to mod chip developers. By using something as simple as epoxy, they have made it a sticky (no pun intended) situation for people who are developing mod chip for their game console, the Wii. Glued down epoxy around the DVD-ROM IC chips will surely make it hard, if not impossible, to use a mod chip in a Wii console.

In another shocking story, Waninkok, the developer of the Wii Backup-Loader that we mentioned the other day has decided to quit the project completely. Apparently he’s not too happy that it was leaked this morning, so he’s decided to drop it. I sure hope that he changes his mind, it’s the only way to get around the whole epoxy problem people will be facing.
