Wiikey
wiikey.. everything i have chucked at it has worked faultlessly so far, also general consensus on other forums i researched seems to point to the wiikey

cool... Wiikey it is then...
i found a guy who will fit it. he wants £70
. this is both, for the Wiikey and the labor. i would do it myself but i know i would muck it up.
I live in london, is there anyone out there that knows of somone cheaper?
thanks...

I think i have seen the advert for the guy in london.. i ended sending mine off to a guy in another forum, sounds like madness but he had such good feed back from other users...that i decided to risk it, service was very fast and top notch!sliteist said:cool... Wiikey it is then...

man of poor reputation
Those chips are so simple, i wonder whether there´s any real difference between the clone and the original. Anyway, i´ll be building a chiip next week.

Shit, hopefully I dont get a fake chip. What can I do if I get a fake one?

For the time being it should work as well as an official, but you may find yourslef excluded from updates in the future.. I hear they are currently working on a firmware which will only update on the official chips
You could return the chip back to el divineo, your well within your rights under the distance selling laws.. especially considering its a fake

but the thing is, can you actually sue someone for selling you a fake Modchip???skysnapper said:
Only problem with the fakes is Team Wiikey are going to exclude them from future updates etc, This is apparently the reason why the Wiikey update is takeing longer (they are adding clone detection to the update)

ya I looked at that. The letters and trails(dont know what they're called) arent as thick as the ones on the fake mod chips.
I have another question. When burning games with Nero, do you have to finalize them to get them to work?
I took my wii apart and when you have to solder the chip to the wii's DVD drive, my dad said that he couldnt solder it because the pads were too small.

I don't know if you need to do it, but unless you're burning a multi-session disc, it's a good idea.yoyoyoyoyoyoyo said:
If you're burning disc-at-once (which you should be doing for ISOs), it should finalize it automatically.

well seen as your not going to be adding anything else, you might as well
also, if Nero refuses to burn a image, try ImgBurn
The points are small but as long as you have a 15watt fine tipped iron and take your time you / he will be fine... Im guessing you also got some 30awg Kynar wire as well?? First of all I would get a old computer part and start practicing soldering onto similar points on that first before you start. Strip about 0.5mm from the wire and add a little solder and wipe some flux over the pads on the board. Touch the pad you are going to solder for about 1 second with the iron to warm it up. Now rest the wire ontop of the pad, get the iron and touch the top of the wire and press down for about 1 - 2 seconds, take the iron off and hold the wire untill the solder sets. repeat for the others...
Also, what I did at first was connect all the wires to the Wii first. use about 10cm or so for each connecting, Wire is cheap so dont worry about wasting it.... Plus you dont need to have to wires neat / just long enough as you can tuck the wires away, I just made mine neat as I have never done a neat install before hehe.
pictures probably make the points look alot bigger than they actaully are (mine) -
Plus, were you amazed at how Small the WiiKey is???
PS if you think modding a Wii looks hard, wait to you see what needs done to install a Chip in a PS2 thats when things start getting hard (eg can you see them black chips with all them legs around them at each side... If I remember correctly when I was installing a MEssiah 2 Pro in my PS2 I had to solder 5 wires in a row to legs like that plus the solder point were even smaller than wii ones

Thanks for the help, but my dad said that were going to take it to a computer repair shop and have them solder it on. He want to do the quick-solder method. We might take it in today or tomorrow. I really dont care how it done, I just want it in so I can play some of my "backups."
Ya, I thought that it was going to be bigger than that. Its smaller than a nickel.http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?act=post&do=edit_post&f=28&t=35760&p=520055&st=80
