Discussion thread for Wii Modchips

well well i got my wiikey installed, i just love it, works great.

 

Lancerx: where did you get your WiiKEY from?

 

Modchipstore: www.modchipstore.com

they were really fast

 

anyone can answer this plz?

 

I am a bit new to all this but I was wondering, when online play becomes available will having a modchip make it impossible to play online?

and it seems to me that the wiikey is the best chip to get?

 

the chips are advertised as "stealth" which should make them undetectable so it should not affect online play. I am runnin a wiikey and have had no issues

cheers

 

correct me if i'm wrong, but I thought most online services where able to tell if you are playing a legit game and not a backup....I don't think they will be able to detect the chip but still feel they only allow "original" games to work online

 

not sure the question i answered was if the having a chip in would affect online play not a "burned" game as for that i can't help sorry

cheers

 

no I was pretty sure backups wouldn't be able to play online, thanks for answering my question, the only reason I asked was because my xbox was modded and I couldnt use xbox live

 

Found a wiikey for 30.99 with a wirekit and free shipping. I ordered it today lets see how long it takes to get it. Oh and they seem like real chips they're on the wii reseller list www.digitalfusions.net

 

Anyone know if the Wiikey from "www.digitalfusions.net" is genuine..it looks like one of the clones.
Also, is the one sold by "www.americanxboxmodchips.com" genuine...the only person referring to this site is "jimmy42" in virtually all his posts.

Thanx for any info.......just trying to buy an original Wiikey.

 

Mazpatel: Yes they are legit americanxboxmodchips.com that is

I received mine and it was genuine as I am sure many others have

They are just waiting to be added to the resellers list...

 

Does anyone know about the WiiD Modchip? It's on http://www.modchipstore.com/customer/product.php?productid=16437&force=y

The features are more or less like the WiiKey. Can anyone tell me which is better?

 

Just saw that www.modchipcentral.com has wiikeys for $29.99 . Whats with the price goin down on these wiikeys, must be the clones. Also satcgal, the wiid is way cheaper on this site as well. ordered a buncha cyclowiz and wiikey from them before and received promptly

Hey i would just like to ask if anyone heard of wi-ic before cuz when i bought my wii from a store thats the modchip that came with it. and also.. does the dvd dye (color of the burned area) have to do with compatibility to the modchip??

 

okay so i am slightly confused here, i remember a few weeks ago, i heard cyclowiz was the best and now wiikey has taken over?? is there a new wiikey out or something. also i read somewhere in this post that you can now burn your backups on ANY dvds, is this true or just a rumor?

 

okay i forgot to mention the part where people say you need a certain dvd media and brand. is this still the case with the 'new' wiikey

 

brands doesnt concern the modchip but it concerns the life of the dvd and taking care of the lense. I recommend verbatim or tayo yuden DVD-R. as for the modchip, the wiikey became the "best" modchip according to many when it came out. there is no new wiikey and i dont think there will be because it updates its firmware through dvd. -- no firmware updates as of now for the wiikey
