Wiikey - Is This The Wii Mod Chip For You?
by Mike Alsman

Is the WiiKey the right Nintendo Wii Mod chip for you? Lets do some comparisons and find out if it is.

As it always is with each new mod chip released, the manufacturers always have some reasons to state that quite likely, THEIR chip is better than any other chip before it. This has been the case since the days of the original PSX mod chips. One chip was better than the other chip, and then the next chip was better than both of those other two chips put together.

I suppose it could be argued that one chip perhaps has some features that another chip does not. And quite likely, these additional features are of no consequence to most gamers. As gamers, we want a chip that is easy to install and just plain works.

There are really no extra or value added features that REALLY differentiate the say the WiiKey from the Cyclocwiz chip. Certainly not in terms of playing our games at all. We want a chip that will load and boot all the types of games we throw at it. And this, thankfully, is the same accross the board. All the Nintendo Wii Mod chips seem to just load each game, without any trouble or fussing about whether or not the game is an Gamecube backup copy of our original game or a backup copy we have of our Nintendo Wii Game.

To get a good, albeit brief idea, which shows quite clearly that there are no real differences, one simply has to look at the list of features for both the WiiKey and the Cyclowiz chips... Weve listed the features and functions for both below.

WiiKey Features:

• Fully upgradeable via DVD/disc (future proof, expect cool features to come)
• Direct boot of Wii backups (like originals)
• Direct boot of GC backups (like originals)
• Boots different region GC games/backups
• Boots different NTSC region Wii games/backups
• Supports multi-disc games
• Supports DVD-R and DVD+R
• Built-in audio fix (for games using streaming, no patch required)
• Stealth mode
• 4 wires & quick solder interface
• Compact design, best quality components, rock solid high speed controller
• Professional ESD packing

CycloWiz Features:

• Easy Install (5 solder points / no wires required)
• Stealth Mode to keep chip from ever being detected from current wii firmware
• Play Both Wii and GameCube backups (DVD-r or DVD+R) and boot like any original game.
• Play GameCube homebrew and Imports
• Built In Audio fix for GC backups
• Multi-disc GameCube Games are fully supported. All GC Games are compatible.
• Support 8Cm and 12cm Discs - TDK or any other brand works equally as well.
• Optional Disable feature to turn your chip on and off
• Multipurpose LED to let you know that your chip is on and working, if it has an error, or if it is off
• DVD Firmware Upgrades available

Both of these chips are compatible with every single version of the Nintendo Wii Console, world wide. Including the D2B chipset, the DMS chipset and the D2A chipsets. You`ll not have any issues using these chips on any Nintendo Wii system. The choice, quite clearly, is mostly down to price. Which is actually something that is a positive for our customers.
