Details on the Wiinja Modchip for the Wii |
Ó
The chip requires soldering to the Wii's inside for it to work, hence the air of legitimacy around it. The modchip should allow for GameCube backups to be played on the Wii. However, it only allows backups of the same region to play on the Wii. Below are a few images of the chip, including a rough installation diagram for the chip.
For more information on the chip, you can use our read-link below. It should lead to the original post on the ElOtroLado.net forums. It's in Spanish, so you guys might need to run it through an online translation engine of your choice. It is estimated that when this chip hits the market, it should cost around €40 (US$ 52).
For demonstration of the chip in action, just click play on the video embed below.

at the recent hackers symposium it was revealed that a similar back door has been found that was present on the gamecube. this backdoor allowed for backups to be played but doesn't allow for more advanced features like dashboards, etc.
in theory, all that is needed is for a small micro-controller to be used to sense the proper timing to send the correct debug commands to the onboard dvd controller.
that being said, the pin numbers listed on the install diagram match up perfectly with the Microchip PIC12C508 micro. The picture of the modchip itself, is also of the same packaging that the 12c508 comes in.
that being said, *if* this is true and *if* they are selling them for , then someone is making a *hell* of a profit because I can buy this micro for about in bulk pricing.

This does not disprove the the modchip (again pay close attenion and you will see the disc was not all the way in before the drive did that).
2) Kenji, WTF are you talking about? The zelda he ran was the Wii version (there are dumps out on the net). If you read the text closefuly it says press A & B to start. Only the Wii version does this as the gamecube version it is just start button (I own the cube version). Second another indicator is when the disc channel would show a gamecube image if booting a gamecube game. It does not, it insted shows zelda info insted. Only wii games can do this (not gamecube games).
Personaly I dont know if it's real or not. Either way we will find out soon enough since release is on the first of febuary. Just gonna have to wait and see.

i dont even think the tape is pushed in the vcr unless the door is missing on it. if it were loaded into the vcr you wouldnt see the tape at all. even if the door was broke off you only see about 20 or so percent of the top of the tape. You see clearly almost the whole tape.
Now the thing is, how do you rip the discs to burn them?

Im from Germany and to clear some things up and cool things down Im going to explain a little about the chip.
Nothing that isnt published already but again:
1. Modchip is real. A local Store is selling those chips already. Working. With 2 years warrenty (guess the USA dont have such stuff but never mind)
2. You need an unscrambled Copy-iso of your legally bought game burned to DVD-R, DVD+R quality media.
For those who dont know what legally bought games are, wikipedia!
3. NO Regionfree until now. And the Chip itself cant be upgraded. But it is soldered with only a couple of wires and big solderpoints. Easy to change to a later model.
That was it from the cloudy germany. Hope it does help.
Im thinking of getting one, but I think I want to wait for a region free version. PAL Games suck...
PEACE
