Essentially a Wii modchip is a small circuit board that is used to disable the built in restrictions and limits of the Nintendo Wii. They bypass any region coding, digital rights management and copy protection which means you can run unlicensed software or copied games (usually written to a blank DVD).

In fact, I downloaded the entire library of SNES games from BitTorrent and now have them all at my fingertips!
