== NR Checker ==

==NR Checker==

The NR Checker is a device which connects to a GameCube controller port on the Wii and can be used to activate certain functionality (such as allowing repair programs to run or the [[Wii System Menu]]'s recovery mode). The check for this device typically appears to be a check for a GameCube controller with all 4 D-pad buttons held down (this is normally impossible without a modified controller).
