WiiKey 2 : Wii Mod Chip

Thumbs Up for the Wiikey Modchip

First generation modchip WiiKey has received rave review for its ease of use.  Introduced in early 2007, the WiiKey mod chip was quickly snapped up by gamers who are into modding their consoles. The WiiKey mod chip is installed on the Wii DVD drive chip and not on the Nintendo Wii motherboard making it undetectable by the wii firmware.  It causes the DVD identification sensor to read a backup or copy CD as an original and send a message to the motherboard to run the CD as such.  The WiiKey mod chip directly boots Wii backups (iso files burned to a DVD-R), Game Console backups, and homebrew.

Not bigger than an Australian $2 coin in size, the WiiKey and WiiKey2 mod chip is easy to handle.  Installation, though, is best left to professionals since it entails soldering.  It comes in a small plastic pack with includes a short length of wire to use in installing the wii key modchip on the DVD drive chip.  It has six soldering holes which can be used to attach it to the DVD drive.  The WiiKey mod chip can be installed by a professional in less than 30 minutes.

DVD burned backups can be read by DVD drives mod with the wii key after the mod chip installation.  CD game backups are recommended to be burned at 4x speed to make it reliable.  The wii key mod chip is supported by D2B DVD drive chips.  For WiiKey mod chip compatibility, check for console versions and consult the product specifications list in the wii key mod chip’s website.
