WiiD modchip sample picture - Image 1While people have already made pre-orders for previously announced modchips like the WiiKey or CycloWiz, we bring in more news of another modchip blissfully trippin' its way to the Nintendo Wii - say hello to WiiD.

According to its specs, this latest modchip will be carrying some of the major updates that have become standard for the Wii's growing crop of chips. For one, the all-important D2B DVD chip support is there, as is stealth mode, and firmware upgradability via DVD. Read on for the rest of its current features:
  • Non Swap/Direct Boot for GC backups
  • Non Swap/Direct Boot for Homebrew in GC mode
  • Non Swap/Direct Boot for NTSC region Wii games/backups on US and JAP consoles
  • Boots PAL Backups/Originals on NTSC WII consoles (partially without swapping)
  • Boots NTSC Backups/Originals on PAL WII consoles (partially without swapping)
  • Boots different region GC Games Original/Backups Imports (partially without swapping)
  • EUROPE/USA/JAPAN Wii Console Supported
  • Double soldering option, 6 wires or Quick-solder (No wires Required)!
  • Compatible with all the WII Console Versions/Drive currently available
  • Full D2B Drive Support
  • Built-in audio fix
  • Full support for DVD-R/DVD+R and DVD+RW/DVD-RW without Booktype
  • Supports Multi-Disc/Multigames games for BOTH Wii and Gamecube
  • Recovery Mode for incomplete/Bad Upgrades
  • Stealth mode
  • Firmware fully Upgradable by DVD!
At this point, it will be important to note that workarounds for the Wii 's PAL and NTSC region locks have already been found. If you don't mind that little detail however, the WiiD is ready for pre-ordering, at a price of US$ 39.95.

Nice, the more Wii modchips, the better. Hopefully these will be extremely widespread.

I ordered and received a working cyclowiz a few weeks ago. These are ALL drive mods and will all have the same capabilities (or will once updated), so just order whichever one isnt backordered...
