What chip do you have? Cyclowiz, Wiikey? When did you buy your wii, that usually tells me what kind of chip you have.
Why I ask? Well, Galaxy, Mario Kart, and Smash has an update that makes it unreadable to mod chips... SO....
You have to update the firmware on whatever mod chip you have.
for more information, go to
www.maxconsole.com or .net, I forget. Check both. Look for the WII section.

I bought my wii over a year ago.
Also, in order to open up my wii don't I need that one special tool with the 3 tips? Would I be able to buy that locally?
thanks for the info, by the way!

Shoot, I had 2 of the lights turn red 2 days ago while playing GTA4. The back of the 360 was hot to the touch! I have a fan back there but looks like it barely does anything.. Doesn't help it that I have the 360 inside an almost like a drawer in the living room...
Either way, I turned it off and turned it back on and it was good to go. Scared me for a second there though!

I know someone in Van Nuys (or was it North Hollywood?) who does this out of his house, but he has this website:

Just do some research and look into their forums. My Xbox has a 500 GB hard drive with about 30 games ripped in their, a few DVD's, some music, etc. And I still have like 80% left in hard drive space.
Bigggest PITA is getting the chip to work right. There's solderless chips but they are a PITA to get working. So I decided to solder mine on. It's the most effective way of doing it. But I didn't solder the joints good enough; the chip goes on and off. So I need to find the time & patience to resolder this again.
Here's a screenshot of how my xbox looked like at startup:
