The Wii Optical Drive Emulator, also known as WODE or WODE Jukebox, is a modchip for the Nintendo Wii that allows users to play games from an external storage device, such as a USB drive, rather than from the Wii's internal optical drive.
This modchip is notable for being solderless, meaning it can be easily installed without the need for soldering. With the WODE, users can enjoy a wider range of games and easily switch between them without having to physically swap game discs.
Features
- Play Wii & GameCube game ISOs direct from USB Mass Storage devices @8X read speed (HDD and FLASH drive).
- Complete Solder free install solution.
- Easy to use GUI - LCD & Joystick - NO homebrew software required (no any update of console can block this device).
- Region hack (works on wiis with firmware 4.1 and lower), Update blocker, Autoboot.
- Passthrough with FLAT-MOD mode built-in, play your DVD-R Wii & GC backups and Imports @3X read speed (doesn't work on D3 version 2+ drives).
- Powerful ARM9 MCU.
- Totally Flexible Linux Kernel.
- USB hub support for multiple USB devices connection.
- Great File System support - use existing WBFS formatted media or 'drag and drop' ISOs to existing USB devices.
- NTFS support.
- WBFS support.
- EXT3FS support.

- The ability to plug as many hard drives as you want (via a USB Hub).
