Chiip - Main Page - Chiip-Wiki
A modchip created by Cadex, the first free Wii modchip to be released. The latest firmware, v0.9.1, supports features such as original game playback (Wii and GameCube), backups from the same and different regions (Wii and GameCube), Gamecube homebrew, DVR+R/DVD-R/DVD+RW ability without the need for bit-setting, DMS/D2A/D2B chipset ability. The firmware is designed to run on ATmega8L-8 and ATmega8-16 AVR chips.

Although the project claimed Open Source from the beginning and a code release has been announced[1], so far no source code has been released. With none of the announced updates to the web site and project data in several months, the project is likely to be considered abandonded, even though its last version remains available and operational.

d2ckey - Home - d2ckey
The only mod that works on a Wii with d2c chipset. D2CKey mod chip is specially designed for the D2C drives and as such it will NOT work on other models of Wii. Due to the number and types of soldering that the D2CKey needs (over 30 fine solder points), the team behind it advise that only people with considerable soldering experience install the chip.

Overall, for the D2C chipsets, the D2CKey is the choice most users choose. For D2A and D2B and DMS chipsets, the WiiKey is the top pick.

It depends on your chipset, and you have to have alot of soldering experience to do this successfully, RezSide sent his console to me for modding, it will be arriving tomorrow, please post your serial located on the back of your Wii console, that way I can determine what mod-chip you will need.

im no good with modding or hacking :\

how do I get the wii to play DVDs, the guy I know who's wii plays DVD's says he just had a mod chip installed, but someone else I know with a modded wii says it is only good for playing burned games, he has no idea how you could get it to play DVDs, so does anyone here know?

Do Not Send Your Wii To Wii Modder!

He has scammed many members of these forums and will take your money and your Wii. Let anyone you know who is thinking of using his services that they will never see their Wii or money again.

seriously? that's messed up, seems like doing it legit would've made him more money in the long run anyways, rather than ripping people off and blowing business.

Well i think thats a bull shit thing to say because i sent him my wii and he modded it sent it back and it works fine.......just because you and that gay ass site wasn't lucky enough to get yours back.......now let me warn you do not come to these forums and try to talk shit about YOUR problems......
