Chiip: open source Wii modchips on the cheap |
Ó
This should interest the Wii-loving handymen out there. We found out there was someone offering plans for people to make their very own modchip from scratch... an open source modchip project, if you will.Developed by Cadex, Chiip builds upon the concepts of the existing modchips as currently existing Wii modchips (Wiinja, Wiikey, etc.) require only one microcontroller. Not that it's easy to build, of course, but it's definitely simpler with only one microcontroller. Best of all, it should take a dedicated modder only a few bucks to buy everything needed for it.
Speaking of building though, you run the risk of breaking your Wii if you try this, so inexperienced modders need not apply. The rewards may be great, but the risks are equally so. In any case, if you're good with your hands, it's definitely worth learning about.

I'd buy... Wiikey or this one... Post your mail address so we can make a deal...
I think I'm going to still purchase a WiiKey:D
Quote: OMG. I awoke today, checked my inbox and was shocked by dozens of mails concerning Chiip. Which reminds me: If you send me a mail, please be patient, an answer may currently take some time. I don't have that much time and there is some really urgent stuff do be done at the moment. After I finally finished answering at least a few mails, two people told me via IRC that they already built it and it doesn't work with their Wii. I have no clue yet if that's a real problem. Maybe they simply did something wrong, but I fear there's another problem. Damn, I guess that's what happens if don't test on different consoles and simply believe things work just because they work on your own Wii. I really need some feedback now from people who already built it! Anyway, I will use the emergency break now and say: If you haven't started building things, better wait until I know if there is a real problem. Otherwise there's a good chance you'll build something that doesn't work just yet. You can already order the components if you want - that won't be lost money, you will definitely be able to build a working modchip using these components very soon.
I didn't read the FreePlay post... I thought FreePlay was registered.
instead of making the programmer? I have to check my chart but I can program most chips
... but for some reason if I log in I can't post.
... maybe I can, I dunno.
