First Wii mod chip announced

OH LORDY

Might be fake but I'm kinda expecting an announcement soon anyway, considering it sounds like "they" basically didn't bother to do anything sexy with the protection:

Wiinja Modchip

quote:

---

The first Wii modchip has been announced and will be ready to ship on February 1st. It features:
- Run your own region (PAL/NTSC) backups directly
- 5 Cables to solder
- Easy Installation
- Modchip not upgradable
I can confirm the modchip is real as I have been in contact with the developers for a few weeks and they should shortly be uploading a video to prove it. In the meantime you can check out two photos of the modchip below. I will update with more news soon once I get to speak to the developers again.

spunktastic! although it might be a good while before i take the plunge.

Agreed... No doubt if it's real it will open the floodgates for modchips - I'll wait until I can see what direction they're heading in and what countermeasures (if any) Nintendo takes. I think I'll at least wait until somebody produces a chip thats upgradeable and can be switched off.

Damn right mate, will be interesting to see what happens in respect to the chip, Wii Connect 24 and how they will work together (updates, blocking etc)

To be honest, if i couldn't use Connect 24 with a chip, i'd have to give the chip a miss.

Update: !!NEWS CHANNEL NOW WORKING!! And its rather good!

better wait the upgradable one, nintendo will take contra-mesaures, for me inside Wii's firmware there is something that study the 'new thing' inside Wii and send info to Nintendo server. This is the new era for network consoles, developers will play this chance, to make better protections.

Hopefully, because its a drive mod (like the XBox 360) the Wii wont even realise the chip is installed... I'm still waiting though

Homebrew would be nice too

I've installed and had a quick look at the News Channel and although it's quite slick in some areas (like the world map and how the articles "stack up" over each region as you zoom out) it looks like a website from 1998 when reading articles - hopefully it will be prettied-up and possibly even have some streaming "stuff" in the long run.

Statistically... 9 out of 10 people actually enjoy gang rape.

The WiiNinja has been verified by the usual sources, and the video has been uploaded. As for wat the mod does, it really isnt a drive mod. Because it will not allow you to run homebrew code. As for protections and uploadeing to servers, i highly doubt thats a issue, cuz these mod guys would know, cuz in order to crack they've studied how it works, and decrypted the firmware, so im sure they know whats up. I'm thinkin of a gettin a wii, i wont use it for online shit, cuz i have my ps3 for that.

I watched that Console Hacking Conference TMBCinc put on (that german hacker geneuis) and he said the protection on the wii is very very similar to the gamecube, as the way it checks discs and so on, he said to gain axx to the drive u just need to brute force the pass, he also said that it was very easy to do, and not a problem to break. He also said the reason homebrew will not work on the wii atm, is because the data on the disc is encrypted and until they can get the key and/or crack the encryption then it will be impossible to boot homebrew, but direct copies of games are not a problem.

This is actually what I was waiting for when determining which console to purchase... we (my wife and I) had narrowed it down to 360 or wii, with wii slightly ahead due to its family friendly library... but this just throws it leagues ahead of the others.

the last hurdle will be the encoding of previous gen console titles to dvd (i.e. dropping every nes, turbo16, snes, and n64 game onto a single dvd)...

then im 100% sold.

in fact, if i could have that, i wouldnt think twice about purchasing every new game for the wii without batting an eye.

curious this: Stealth even when chip is enabled
if true for nintendo, they will never have feedbacks about patched hard Wii

... Just biding my time until the local chip-me-do has the Cyclowiz in stock. Seems a shame to abuse my brand new Wii like this but I promise I'll still be buying the good shit that I actually *want* Mr Nintendo, because I love you.

The chip is fuckin tiny!!!



Retailing for 40 USD, this is the baby i will be getting... got 17 games downloaded for the wii already ... hurry up cyclowiz!

__________________

Been reading stories about the WiiKey ... going by what it states it can do, it looks like the one to get. 7th of Feb is the day of reckoning.

Specifications:

Fully upgradable 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

More features are being worked on, and will either be included in the upcoming release or in a future upgrade that will follow the release shortly.

umh also this is stealth mode, I wonder if the way to be stealth is just a bridge stopping/bypassing info in the motherboard, or a cracking reverse software routine installed in the chip

talk about mark-up, 80 bucks for the shitty one.

Ordered the wiinja chip after jumping the gun a bit, but to be honest it's almost the same as cyclowiz (save for the LED).

Anyway, it was dispatched today so it should arrive within the week. I'll post up once it's installed.

If that Wiikey isn't just more bullshit, that's my front runner thus far, simply because it's multi-region. See what i mean about these things evolving quickly... Mr Grinch may learn to regret his haste, much as I did when I got a Neo2.2 shoved up my PS2 all those years ago.

__________________
Statistically... 9 out of 10 people actually enjoy gang rape.

I don't think it handles proper multi region, just means that you can play import jap (or backup) ntsc on a usa ntsc wii. Could be (hopefully i am) wrong, but i don't think you can play ntsc on pal systems.

__________________

Nope, after re-reading it I reckon you're right

Still, at least it's upgradeable - although what they can "upgrade" is another matter... It is only a drive chip after all.

__________________
Statistically... 9 out of 10 people actually enjoy gang rape.

My Wiinja chip arrived today, but I won't have chance to fit it till Saturday. I'll update the thread with how it goes just in case any of you are curious.

I'm just burning out a "backup" of Super Monkey Ball now.

<Mr_Grinch> yes. I have aids. Which I got from bumming men.

Hmmmm. As attractive as the promise of a mod chip is, I would be nervous about butchering my beloved Wii within the warrenty period. Especially after reading some of the stories about them just failing for no reason.

Still.. i'd be interested to hear how well it works Grinchy.

just read this on liquidice's site regarding the wiikey...think i'll wait a bit longer...

"The Update disc will likely be formatted for Gamecube and will launch in GC mode. The app will send commands to the chip to flash it with the updated code. Since the chip 'listens' and reacts to these commands, it also means Nintendo can possibly detect if you have a chip like this (WiiKey) installed in your console."

Unless it turns out to be a load of old fakey horseshit, the WiiXT sounds like the first actual "mod" chip as opposed to a simple drive chip. Features include multi region, Wii homebrew and the drive bay turns into a moist, pink vagina...

Look here you shits: http://wiixt.vze.com/

Wiinja works.

Audio fix fine on Gamecube games. It'll only do my region (Pal) games though. I had the drive chip supported by the first gen of wiinja although the next version of the chip supports all current drives.

If you go ahead and do it...BE FUCKING CAREFUL.

The solder points are quite delicate, I pulled off point 5 and had to solder a wire to the leg of the drive chip instead.

Still, all good in the end.

(Sorry it took me a while to update, been out and about)

Your Kung-Fu is strong Mr Grinch... When I get mine done (once I'm confident that the situation has settled and my chip wont be bested two days after I buy it) I'll pay some git to install it - as I've stated before, I wield a soldering iron like I have muscular dystrophy so I'd rather let somebody that doesn't suck do it

Oh yeah, a patching tool to patch NTSC isos to PAL is now available - most of the modchip manufacturers are building a workaround into their chips as well... Might be time for me to get a chip, if only so I can play Naruto and Trauma Centre.

NEVERSOFT'S WII/GC REVIEW-O-RAMA

Zelda TP - Fantastic although the "fetch quests" get a little boring and your next objective isn't always explained very well, leaving you meandering around looking for something to do. Sexeh graphics and nice controls. 8/10

Super Monkey Ball - Very good at first but not enough depth to the main game and it doesn't last long. Coupled with a shitload of mostly wank mini games. Worth a rental but don't buy. If you want a decent Monkey Ball game, get the GC one 5/10

Rayman Raving Rabbids - Extremely funny and not bad graphics. Good for a laugh and worth the purchase... Just don't pay full RRP 8/10

Warioware: Smooth Moves - Shows the Wiimote for what it is... VERY accurate. Quirky game and a good showcase for the Wiimote but totally lacking in decent two player games. It has em (once you beat the one player game) but you take it in turns to play... Not only is this stupid as I have four Wiimotes (with nunchucks) but it flies in the face of all the safety dogshit regarding wrist straps as the multiplayer games encourage you to rapidly pass the Wiimote to the next player. A bit of a "Marmite" game, you either love it or hate it - I love it. The Darts game is good (once you turn it on). Oh, and the graphics mostly suck arse although I guess thats just part of the "quirkyness" 8/10

Wii Sports: Better than free beer! Crap graphics but it doesn't matter. Fan-fucking-tastic. 10/10

Wii Play: Laser Hockey, Tank Game and the Billiards aren't bad but the rest of the games are bunk. Not bad if you need a Wiimote anyway though 4/10


I also grabbed a few GameCube games...

Mario Sunshine: Not *as* good as Mario64 but still damned decent. The camera is the biggest let down as it's a step-back from M64 as it's almost entirely manually panned. 8/10

Resident Evil 4: Looks gorgeous and plays well. If you like Resident Evil games, this one is the dogs! A twat to buy cos you can't find the fucker anywhere but if you do, uNF!! 9/10

Eternal Darkness: Not bad graphics (for a GC game) and the insanity system works well. Similar to other survival horror games but different enough to stand out. Worth checking out. 7/10


I think that's all I've got (from memory). Oh, you also need a Wavebird controller... If you can find one

__________________

Yep, Resident Evil 4 is tricky to get hold of. Got mine off Ebay for £20, a GC controller (couldnt be arsed with the wavebird) for £10 and a 128mb GC memcard (you cant save GC games without one) for a tenner.

When is Mario Galaxy out?

Well, it was supposed to be this month but I *think* it's currently Q4 2007 and I suspect it will get pushed to Q1 2008...

... On a plus side though: Metroid, Smash Brothers, SSX Blur (had mixed reviews though due to overly "Wiierd" controls), Tiger Woods and The Godfather are all pretty much imminent

Oi bitches, we're off-topic. Should I create a Wiiview thread (so many Wii puns, so little time) and get this one back onto the subject of mod chips?

I've just noticed that a hacked drive firmware is available now to negate the need to solder anything. Doesn't have any of the neat tricks of the mod chips like multi region etc but hey... No soldering

No need to solder now if you can knock up a cable yourself (although I'm sure they'll retail soon) and have a pc nearby. You need to run the .exe loader each time you boot up the wii (only after power has been disconnected I -believe-) but it apparently works.

Just have a look for one of the loaders that's kicking around. I don't have any links at present but you're all more "l33t" than me so I'm sure you can come up with something!

still shopping around for the best chip, but thought i'd toss in my two cents on wario ware.

all it is, and this is the truth, is a wii version of 4 second fury. multiplayer is the suck, and if not for delays on mario party (not till june 1 now) i wouldn't have had to purchase it thinking it would be something good.

that is all.

Besides, the reviews for Red Steel aren't great and MoH is out soon for some FPS kickassness

Tell you what... Why don't you buy another two Wii's, get all three chipped with different chips then come back and tell me which one to buy - otherwise, leave the country before I kick your cunt in.

I'm running the original WIinja, I haven't tried any non pal games, but I think I can run them after patching the .iso.

If I wasn't quite so eager though and I had the choice now, I'd probably go for the wiikey. But all 3 basically do the same thing so you can't go far wrong.

Sounds like Cyclowiz is just edging into the lead in the feature list:

I'm using the Wiinja Deluxe and I must say it's been very good to me. I'm able to play all the ntsc games I want, although pal hasn't worked for me, I'm hoping there's a way around that.

Chipped mine on thurs. Used the Wiinja v2 clone hex and progged a 12f629, working great, using traxdata -r discs and burning @ 8x...

NS cant go wrong chippin these,very simple to take apart and install...buy a triwing screwdriver and some 30g wire and use this site http://modyawii.tehskeen.com/ for reference.
Has an excellent guide for taking apart your wii and where the different screws go back in.
All in all took me about 45 mins

I use the WiiKey and have no problems going online buying games not that i have to i just like how it works with the controls
if your thinking about it wiikey its your anser

Anyone know any decent media to use on the Wii?

I've got myself a WiiKey and the Datawrite DVD's are a bit iffy. Takes a few ejects to get them to run. I had a TDK +R laying about and used that and its been flawless but the only place I can get those is PC world for 20 quid for a pack of 10 (Rip off cunts!)

__________________

haven't had my wii chipped yet, but will say that i'm a fussy fucker when it comes to media.

My xbox is a fussy cunt like me, but i've found I cant go wrong with TDK's from APRMedia or silver topped Riteks from Rambox. In fact, although the tdk's are good, i'd still prefer the riteks. Not the cheapest, but superb discs.

£6.69 a pack but postage from svp.co.uk can be expensive so you only really save cash if you're ordering a fair bit.

I've actually temporarily undone mine, I've got mostly originals of what I want for now and I'm a bit worried about being banned from online play being I'm enjoying strikers.

Currently nothing is happening but it wouldn't take much for them to employ the same steps as Xbox Live did.

If I get bored of strikers and/or nothing comes of booting backups I'll solder the chip back on (wires still in place)

Right, I've got myself some Certified Grade-A disks. Manufactured by Ritek (Sumvision branded though) with the G05 dye... These had better work, they're nice and shiny!

::EDIT:: They work super \o/ I'm as happy as a pig in shit.

Thought I would bring this into this thread, so as not to hijack any other thread. There is now an update for the Wiikey that will let you play Galaxy! Seems a lot of faffing about to get it to play on a pal machine though. The game needs to update your fw to play, so if you do this you get multiple news/weather channels which you cant remove. I did read a workaround on another site though..

This game works OK on NTSC and PAL Wii if you have d2ckey, wiikey (with 1.9g update from wiikey.cn) or cyclo-wiz (with latest update). I am not sure about JAP Wii.

If you use this on a PAL Wii you will get duplicate channels unless you:

1) Update to latest version (3.1E)

2) Burn SMG (without WiiBrickBlocker patch) and update to about 10-15% and pull the power plug

3) Patch SMG with WiiBrickBlocker, burn and play.

If your chip doesn't have region auto patching you will need to apply NTSC to PAL patch as well (before burning anything).

I have recently tested this my self on my PAL Wii with WIIKEY, and it works just fine. Remember to select your preferred tv mode after the update!

If you allready have duplicate channels (from mp3), or if you get duplicate channels with smg, it doesn't seem to matter, other than the fact that you will have some duplicate channels in the wii menu.

...and as always, there is a risk of bricking your wii if you use different region games on your wii WITHOUT updating your wii to the latest version first.

What chip is in yours fuckface? Mines a WiiFree so I need either that or YAOSM to be updated... The good news is that Bell is looking at Yaosm to try and sort this, although he's in the PAL region and is reluctant to experiment with the "only" old-style PAL Wii at his disposal with US games with firmware updates...


... Now, once SMG is out in the PAL region I reckon YAOSM will get an update reasonably quickly.

I'm looking into getting mine done but don't know much about it. I like the idea of the wiifree as its open source but don't like the idea of constantly reprogramming the chip (well, getting someone else to do it) if need-be. From the little I do know about the commercial chips, I take it the wiikey is the best?

I just need to find someone who's good at soldering.

In fairness, the Cyclowiiz is probably the best commercial chip... It's easier to update and the dev team seem to be organised/active.

With regards to Mario Galaxy I just read on a forum that the copy protection detects the modchip.. if this is the case, if I bought it this Friday (Which I was planning on doing) Will the disk detect the modchip and still not play, even if its legit?

The Wii is a little picky about it's media... Try and source some decent disks with the Ritek G05 dye.

For anyone who hasn't 'updated' their Wii yet..

linky

Be a tad careful of the wlip, there are reports of it overheating. It was advertised some time ago, then taken back from sale whilst they sorted the problems out. I don't know if it's 100% fixed or not
