wii chip for swap

webhead · 20 July 2009, 14:33

hi i got a wii chip lying around doing nothing and i expect somebody might want it so if you do,i want something to do with a cdtv that would be nice

this chip only supports the first couple of wii,s though so will only work on old wii,s not the 1,s with the tracks missing or glue on the chip.

or for a denise chip for my cdtv .

its a Wiikey Wii Modchip .

webhead · 21 July 2009, 17:21

or for some minimig parts cheers.

It's pretty worthless, even when they were new they only cost about $14

Smiley · 22 July 2009, 02:30

I don't mean to be rude but doesn't Bannerbomb make all these hardmods redundant?

alexh · 22 July 2009, 10:52

Until the next system update.

keropi · 22 July 2009, 11:19

we are now at 4.1 System Menu, and softmodding works fine ... IMHO if they wanted to kill softmoding they would do it in 4.0 or 4.1 ...

alexh · 22 July 2009, 11:27

Bollox! Sweetie, darling.

4.1 wasnt a System Menu update it was a bug fix for Wii Sports Resort

And they DID kill softmodding when they released 4.0 and took out the Zelda Twilight hack. It was many months until Bannerbomb was discovered.

It wasnt a:

"BOLLOX YOU ASSHOLE"

it was a

"heh heh, where did you hear that? Total bollox mate, total bollox.".

I've edited my post and counter acted the hostility with a camp luvie follow-up. How can you be hostile if you're camp eh?

webhead · 22 July 2009, 11:49

lol softmodding is good but not so good when an update comes,or you screw up and need to redow it all ,it can be a right pain in the ass.

keropi · 22 July 2009, 12:55

I did not have a wii back then

the point is, that TODAY, nommater what version u have, softmodding works....

alexh · 22 July 2009, 12:57

And my point is that tomorrow it may not be, unless you have a drive chip. Or are very cautious about updates.

I am sure drive chips on the wii will have their time once again, either that or everyone will need a copy of SuperSmashBros.

keropi · 22 July 2009, 13:10

yeah hardware mods are always the best, I am considering a wiikey2+wiiclip for my console, as I found that it can be installed , any opinions on that chip alexh?

scrappysphinx · 22 July 2009, 13:30

i installed a d2sun with a wiiclip in my cousins wii console and my experience wasn't a pleasant one. The pins on the wiiclip didn't make great contact with the drive and kept losing the connection causing the console to switch off or the dvd drive to not work at all till the clip was reseated. In the end we gave up on the clip and soldered it in directly.

keropi · 22 July 2009, 13:43

really? hmmm maybe when I install it I also put 2-3 spots of thermal glue...
pfff same indivision clip thingie , on my A1200 it was popping up all the time

Awww, I never knew you had that side to you alexh.

alexh · 22 July 2009, 21:05

Hope I have not gone down in your estimation.

webhead · 22 July 2009, 23:02

a wiikey is easy to install ,anyone can doit this chip i want to swap for sumit is well easy if i can do them anyone can you only need the wii screwdriver and a small posi drive and 4or5 solder joints easy as drinking a can of lager whilst driving your motorbike lol.

alexh · 23 July 2009, 00:40

WiiKey's were easy to install but you'd be hard pushed to find an Wii which will take one these days. It would have to be a second hand box, 2006 or early 2007.

Plus the WiiKey firmware is nolonger developed with 1.9s being the latest. I *think* they cannot handle the latest discs (don't they get 02 error?)

But I dunno cos I went USB a long time ago.
