I apologise if this has been covered elsewhere. My searches of this site aren't giving me the information I need.

What do I need to do so that I can use locally sold game disks for my US Wii? I would really appreciate some advice. My family loves this game system.

Also, I'm using a power converter (220 to 120) can I get a new power cable here that converts to the same DC voltage to skip the converter?

Thank you very much.

you need to install a modchip or an exploit.

Thank you NHJ for your quick response.

Can I just go to MBK and tell them what I want and have it taken care of there? If so, any advice on the mod chip or the exploit which I assume means the soft-modding?

I am very grateful for your advice and appreciate your time.

i don't live in bkk but i think MBK or pantip would be the place to ask, hard mod is the modchip and exploit is the soft mod.

go for hard mod and ask for a chip that'll make your wii region free.just to be sure you don"'t get an old mochip.

My local IT mall in Khon Kaen will mod any console you like so I'm sure one of the big boys in BKK will.

Thank you everyone for responding.

I went to MBK and asked about 8 shops what to do. The soft mod is going from 600 to 800 Baht. The chip thing was solid at 1,500.

I was told that the chip was the way to go to avoid having to re-mod to accommodate updates.

I don't know if I got an old chip or not. I bought a bunch of games, a few 2009 issue and everything works.

Thank you Thaivisa and everyone who responded.
