Sorry for the dumb question!

what mod do you have?
Time Flies when you're having fun! A decade of DF - April 2002-2012.
errr....how do I check? Some guy at work just did it for me for free - he's giving me loads of games...
doesn't matter what mod it is really, the compatibility is probably better on an NTSC machine anyway. To check which games you need for your machine, check the sticky in this section. If you have a chip that doesn't autopatch import games, all you need to do is patch them with wiifrii first, only takes a second but with it being NTSC you can just download NTSC versions of the games which are out quicker than PAL versions 99% of the time.
The only think you need to do is get hold of a power stepdown adapter as the wii will be 110v, not 230v.
as {{909}} said, you'll need a step down transformer like this, and you can just download US games that are pretty much always out before the UK ones!
Thanks guys - I'll go and buy nne tomorrow - the 200v one should cover it right? (as opposed to the 300v)
What about the TV? Do I need an NTSC to PAL convertor - someone mentioned it to me....
Thanks again!
Maplins have worded it quite stupidly really!
They say Power: 300VA, when they mean 300w (Power = Volts * Current (P=VI)) and the 200w one can only handle 2A (seems very little) where as the 300w one can only handle 3A (again very little), I would personally say that the 200w one should cover it, but double check what current the power supply is outputting to the Wii (it will say on the power brick).
It should say something like 450mA. As long as its DEF under what the transformer can handle, then your good to go, and also check the power its using, or use the equation I gave above (P = IV (Power = Current * Voltage))
For example P = 0.45 * 110, so P = 49.5w (0.45 refers to 450mA)

Thanks! - It says on the back:
INPUT: ac 120v 52w
OUTPUT: dc 12V 3.7a
So I reckon the 200 one should cover it....off to Maplins :-)
or you can just get a new wii power pack.
mrmodchips has them for £12.99
