Wii Unlock Plus is sort of the new kid on the block. This popular product launched in August 2009 and is looking to become the leading Wii product. The solution consists of a Members Area with Wii unlocking and homebrew guide, instructional videos, and several exclusive bonuses like a Homebrew Database, Wii Themes Club, Wii Cheats Handbook and Game Guide, and more. I have to confess that after doing my research for a solution to unlock my Wii last fall, I was torn between Wii Unlock Plus and MyHomebreware’s Wii Unlocker Ultra. From what I had read, it seemed like they both got the job done and both offered more extras than the other solutions. In the end, I liked what Wii Unlock Plus had to offer and decided to give it a shot.
Wii Unlock Plus guides you step by step with video tutorial and expert explanation all the way to make sure you do everything just right. While it might even get a little tedious at times for the technically inclined, I think this is probably just the thing that a newbie needs. Unlike some of the other Wii unlock solutions that provide less software (or no software at all) and limited tutorials, Wii Unlock Plus really does provide everything you need. It also includes a lot of bonus extras that make it an even better deal. While I didn’t make use of it, others reviewers have commented that they actually do provide customer support.
So, in a nutshell, here is what you will need to unlock your Wii safely with no chip mod or any alternation using Wii Unlock Plus:
- The Wii Unlock Plus download and site have all of the software and instructions you will need
- Wii console (works on any model)
- Computer with SD card reader
- SD card
- Wiimote
Of the five solutions reviewed on this site, I think that you really can’t go wrong with Wii Unlock Plus. Check out the Wii Unlock Plus site for more information and testimonials, and if you have had a chance to try it out, please feel free to share your comments and evaluation below.

Homebrew Installer is a set of guides and tutorials which show users how to unlock their Wii. Like most of its competitors, Homebrew Installer is not selling software; however, the solution does show users where to download the required software for free and how to use it. Homebrew Installer works on version 4.2 and lower and does not require the Zelda game (for the famous Twilight hack). Homebrew Installer is supposed to be updated twice monthly, and customers receive unlimited updates. The Homebrew Installer team provide full e-mail support through its tech department,a nd promises to answer questions promptly. The only extra with Homebrew Installer is a Wii cheats guide.
Homebrew Installer seems to fall pretty much in the middle of the five solutions that we review on this site. It definitely does not have the features that the top two products have. It does provide you the tools that you need to easily and reliably unlock your Wii. We are not sure about the twice monthly updates, but – anecdotally at least – the folks at Homebrew Installer seem to provide better customer support than a couple of the other companies.
For more information and some customer testimonials, take a look at the Homebrew Installer website. If you have experience with this product, please share your thoughts and rate the solution in the comments section below.

Homebreware is a simple Wii unlock solution that gets the job done. The package includes several files. You simply copy those files onto an SD card (which is the Wii memory format). Once they have been moved to the SD card, simply insert the card and boot up the Wii console.
Homebreware claims that its software is updated regularly to ensure compatability with Wii system updates. If you ever wish to uninstall the mod, the package includes a nice rollback features which allows you to return your console to it’s original settings with the click of a button.
With this package you will learn how to unlock the following features on your Wii:
- Play backup games
- Play imported games that are region locked
- Make copies of existing games (for back-up purposes)
- Play N64, SNES, NES and Sega Genesis games, as well as games from other consoles
- Play homebrew games
- Play DVD movies and Mp3s
Homebreware comes with a lifetime membership, entitling users to get all of the future upgrades for free and the package also includes the Ultimate Wii Cheats Guide.
This is another solution that does seem to get the job of unlocking your Wii done effectively enough. Compared to some of the other solutions, it comes with only one extra and the process is not as well documented as with some others. Finally, we have heard some complaints about a lack of good customer support. You should check out the Homebreware web site for additional information. In addition, if you have had a chance to use the Homebreware solution, you are welcome to provide your comments and ratings below.

The Wii Unlocker Ultra Guide and Videos this are the signature guide to unlocking your Wii in 5 minutes or less sold by Myhomebreware.com. This is definitely one of my top 2 picks among the five products reviewed here. First off, Wii Unlock Ultra has a really good guide. It is really written with the average, non-technical user in mind. It is really was easy to follow along, and all of the pictures and detailed descriptions to unlocking the Wii are spot on. I mean, you really don’t need any experience fixing or modding your Wii, because every single step is spelled out for you in sometimes too much detail (if you are a little more technically inclined).
The videos are also nicely done. You could ignore the guide and just use the nice high definition videos in the members area to unlock your Wii at your own pace. The unlocking videos go through the process of choosing what software to download depending on what Wii system menu version you have whether it is a 3.4 or 4.1 up until you completely unlock your Wii. There are also 5 video tutorials, all showing you how to do different things after your Wii is unlocked.
The other thing that sets this apart from most of the competitors are the application installation tutorials. Wii Unlocker Ultra actually shows you how to download the free applications that you can find on the internet and install them on your Wii.
Wii Unlocker Ultra is completely compatible with all Wii versions. They have two sets of software to unlock your Wii, one for all system versions 3.4 and earlier and the other software for the latest versions of the Wii systems menu including 4.0 and 4.1.++
My Homebreware offers several extras with Wii Unlocker, including the following:
- Wii Games Cheats Guide – (this is the most updated Wii cheat book that gamers are using right now)
- Backup Wii Games Guide and Software – (shows you how to back-up all of your Wii games in a safe place just in case they get damaged)
- Wii Games Patching Guide and Software – (There is some games out there that you just cant backup, but this patching guide shows how to get around these road blocks to back up any game)
- Wii DVD Converter Guide and Software – (enables you to use your Wii as a DVD player)
- Wii UNLOCKER ULTRA Elite Gamers Membership – (a one-stop solution for all Wii-related mods, cheats, guides, games, Wii updates, downloads and more)
- 60-day money back guarantee
This is a great solution with lots and lots of extra features. Please check out the Myhomebreware Wii Unlocker Ultra web site yourself for more information and some user testimonials. Also, if you have had a chance to use this solution, please share your experiences and rate it below.

Like the other solutions that we review here, BreWii is a set of guides and tutorials which show you how to unlock your Wii. BreWii does not sell the software to unlock your Wii; however, the guides do show you where you can download the software which you can use for free. The product is useful, and the guides and videos do a good job of showing you exactly how to unlock Wii consoles and play backup and homebrew games.
So, while BreWii certainly gets the job done, we have a couple of reservations about it. First, BreWii is the most expensive of the five solutions that we review here. Now, it’s only about $5 more, so that’s not really that big of a deal, but when you consider that the only extra is a Wii Cheats guide that you can find elsewhere (or at least something very similar), it just doesn’t seem to be worth the extra cost. Especially, when you compare the number of extras that come with some of the other solutions. Second, we have had a number of reviewers complain about the customer support.
Please feel free to check out the BreWii web site for additional information about this solution. In addition, if you have used this product and would like to share your experiences with others, please feel free to comment and rate the product below.
