Hey guys, its been awhile since ive messed with my Wii, but anyways, i bought my wii when it first came out, and i wire modded it with the WiiD chip. Seeing that they kind of just left there customers out in the blue, i recently took out the wiid chip. Im currently looking for a mod chip to buy that can play the latest games (mario cart, smash bros) will the Wiikey work? let me know. Thanks guys!

 

Hello,

I recently purchased an older (used) wii that is modded with a modchip that I haven't ID'd yet.

2 questions:

a)- How can I tell what modchip is installed in my ntsc(u) wii?

b)- Also, if I wanted to upgrade the modchip in my wii (I imagine its over a year old, and from what I've read on AD so far, the chips have progressed quite a bit), what would be the best currently available chip for a wii with a GC2-D2B Drive Chip whose drive pins are most likely not cut (from wiitracker's info)?

Thanks...

 

I'm a newbie so please bare with me!
I have a console which I believe is a D2C. I bought it 2-3 weeks ago.
Anyway I want to mod it using a modchip and a wii-clip to avoid soldering on the chip and damaging anything. And most of all, if something happens I can try to pretend that the console is virgin when I take it back in for a repair by removing the clip and using very good acting skills.

Anyway I searched a little bit and If anyone can shed some light here:
Besides the wasabi, d2cKey and d2cPro what other modchips are compatible with a D2C wii?
I read comments hear that the wasabi is the best and on other sites I read that the w2cPro is made by the same company that makes the wii key and that its really stable.

I want a solution with as less soldering a possible. I'm good with soldering since I did unlock & fix a couple of iphones but I just want to avoid if I can.
I know the wasabi needs an wire to connect to an F place on the wii board. Its not on a chip that is hard to solder so if you guys suggest the wasabi I will consider it.

Does anyone know a site or can post a chart with d2c compatible modchips and their advantages-disadvantages?
And how many extra wires does each require to be soldered on the console if I use a wii-clip?

Edit: I just read on wikipedia that some recent d2c wiis can not be modchiped yet. Is it true or just an inaccuracy?

And a little further research i did here I found that the infectus2 or argon are considered the best solution?

 

i heard that the d2c cips,,the new consoles,, you install the mod chip and is not working,,
just on the new once,,from 2,3 weeks ago in till now,, they said that the drives do not want to play backups ,,so need to do some more researsc before buying a chip,, i still did not decide what exactly to be,,i have LU5679,,SO ..
if someone has more info post here,
thanks

 

ok I just installed my wiikey but I dont know if I did it right. All I have is the chip, so do I just start it up and it should work or do I need to download something on a disk? Plus you of the soldering points- it kinda got burnt up so the solder wont stick on it. If I get the wire to connect to the wii board will it still work?

 

me1928 - yes if you want to risk blowing up your console and burning your house down carry on - lol!!! I am a newbie like you but even I try a bit harder! You have answered yr own question - you have bodged the install - it isn't even connected do you seriously expect it to work? I think you may have written yr Wii off - congratulations.

 

WHATEVER YOU READ ON HERE - AVOID ARGON CHIPS AT ALL COSTS!! They market the update "feature" - the problem is the chip doesn't work in the first place. Professional installs x 2 still not working = Very odd!! See the problems on Infectus own forum. It is a major con - go for something more proven and reliable. AVOID THE ARGON CHIP - IGNORE AT YOUR PERIL.

 

all the chips have problems,,
i still did not make up my m,ain what to buy,,
my wii has LU5711 proably d2c,,still confused what to buy,,i want the chip that you can upgrade thru dvd drive ,,,

 

i STILL have not decided what chip to get. i almost bought an argon, but then bad reviews started popping up....although there are good reviews too. i think im going to wait until a wii clip comes out for the new d2pro9, and go with that clip/chip combo.

 

My wasabi's still going good...................

 

MY WII WORKS PERFECTLY! Get off my back. Yea, I'm fully aware that in its current state I highly doubt the wiikey part will work but I need to be able to test it to find out! Even if my wiikey is broken, I'll just get a new one but I need to know what I need to do after I get it soldered in. I've stated it before but when I tell people I'm a noob at this, I mean I dont know what I'm doing and that's why I come here. To get some help, not be criticized and rediculed!
Now, what do I need to do after I install it?

 

me - instead of whinging why don't you do some more research on the net and on this site. There is plenty of info and it sounds as if you haven't got a clue what you are doing. You haven't even installed your chip so why ask pointless questions? I thought this forum was meant to be helping people choose what chips to use. If the chip isn't installed what's the point in trying to find out what may have to be done when it is!!!
Shell out some money and get a pro to do it - you are too much of a buffoon I am surprised you can even turn your Wii on!! LOL

 

All chips will have to be soldered in - not a job for a beginner. The points are VERY small and you will need a very steady hand and good with solder. I reccommend a professional to do this. Once the Wii is opened the warranty is void. The Argon is a BAD chip - look at their own forum for confirmation of this.
The DC2Key is from the makers of Wiikey which is proven. D2Pro is a clone of this.

Hi guys, i live in the uk and i am thinking or getting my wii modded, with the wiikey mod chip.

I have found a place called www.wii-chip.co.uk that supply and install the wiikey for £39.99

But i have to send my wii to them.

My question is, has anyone ordered or used this company before and what their experience was.

or can any recommend a uk mod company that do a good job

 

Hi - I just had mine done in the UK by Ghost2Fitter and I can highly reccommend them!! I initially had an Argon fitted but it packed up after 3 days. If you see Infectus site you will see that they are BAD chips and unstable. Only got it cos of the update feature and it was reccommended on here and it shouldn't be!!

I told them my probs cos I was gutted and asked them to fit a DC2Key instead and it works great. I was sceptical about sending my Wii off but you don't need to be - they are great and if you ask nicely they may be able to point you in the direction of a game supplier!

How old is your Wii because new ones sold in the last 6 months or so will not work with wiikey. You have to check your serial number - tells you on their site. Hope this helps and I wish someone had answered my similar question when I asked!!
