Remember the Wiikey guys? They're the modders who came up with the first and only upgradable modchip for the Wii. This same modchip will begin shipping today, or so they promised. Well, they can keep the title "first ever" but they can't claim that their babies are the only one of its kind on the market anymore.

TeamCyclops just announced through its own website that CycloWiz, modchip for Wii">TeamCyclops' modchip for Wii">CycloWiz, modchip for Wii">TeamCyclops' modchip for Wii">CycloWiz has been upgraded as well to have a DVD upgradability feature. And to rub it in more, the team mentioned that its modchip is shipping already. As in now. At first glance, one may think that CycloWiz is superior to Wiikey, but one has to take into consideration that the latter is the only chip with support for Wii imports.

We're guessing TeamCyclops has something more up its sleeves, especially now that there are reports circulating about the new Wii models being incompatible with these modchips. Now, we wonder whatever happened to the Wiinja kids...

Buy: [CycloWiz]

» done some research

it doesnt state that you can play backups or original from other region but wiikey the other modchip clearly states that wiikey can also play import games regardless of what region model your wii is from and what region the game is from it all works except if you have the rare GC2-D2B DVD drive which is unmodchipable as of this writing.
