In relation towards the Nintendo Mod Chips, for anyone out there that IS getting the chip to illegally copy games, to which I think is idiotic...read what Nintendo has stated.

Nintendo has fired out a warning to gamers about the consequences of chipping consoles.
A post on the platform holder’s website cautions readers that the effects of mod chips can damage Nintendo hardware – and lead to prosecution.
“Modification microchips (mod chips) circumvent the security embedded into Nintendo's products. To install a mod chip into a Nintendo hardware system, it is necessary to dismantle the product and, in some instances, remove components.”
“The use of mod chips voids the manufacturer's warranty. In addition, the installation of a mod chip can damage the functionality of a Nintendo console, sometimes rendering it incapable of repair.
"Mod chips have been adjudicated to be illegal in various countries around the world, including the Unites States, the United Kingdom and Hong Kong.
“Most European countries have also already adopted laws prohibiting the circumvention of technological measures for copyright protection. People caught installing or selling mod chips may be subject to criminal charges.”
