Wii D2B: cracked by Cyclowiz and Wiikey?

Posted Feb 13, 2007 at 5:07AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Wii Tags: CycloWiz, Divineo, modchip, WiiKey

Modchips and console security updates, like the international arms race, is one that never ends. And for a short while, it seemed that chip developers faced another Nintendo hurdle by way of the infamous GC2-D2B model Wii. As we said, "For a short while." Divineo is now accepting pre-orders for a D2B-capable TeamCyclops' modchip for Wii">CycloWiz chip for a price of US$ 39.99, although we'll have to see if this really is the case.

And in other news, we bring an update on the Wiikey mod chip. The dev team has pushed its the release date to between February 16 and 20, and is now capable of running on D2B Wii units. As for the updated specs:

Direct boot of Wii backups (like originals)
Direct boot of GC backups (like originals)
Direct boot of homebrew in GC mode
Supports all currently available console and drive versions (including the D2B chipset)
True sophisticated upgradability via DVD/disc (future proof, expect cool features to come)
Direct boot of different NTSC region Wii games on USA and JAP consoles
Partial support for different region NTSC games on PAL consoles
Supports different region GC games (partially without swapping)
Supports multi-disc games for BOTH Wii and Gamecube
Supports DVD-R / TRUE DVD+R and +RW support (no bitsetting required)
Improved read settings for recordable media
Built-in audio fix (for games using streaming, no patch required)
Supports full-size 4GB DVD for Gamecube homebrew
Stealth mode
512 byte EEPROM to store configuration
4 wires & quick solder interface
Unique disc backup application via SD-card
Compact design, best quality components, rock solid high speed controller
Professional ESD packing

Keep checking back for updates (on price tag perhaps?) on this potential hot-sell, along with any word on the other two chips expected to break the D2B barrier soon, The Wiinja and the Wiip.

And nintedo won't really care I suppose because in general, the wii buyers are parents, for their kids or themselfs, or the kids themselfs, and those two are not the kind of buyers to mod their things, lol.

I hope things will be "certain" for this summer ( I'll buy mine by june maximum ) so I can buy a chip with it! :D, Anyway nintendo will be happy because they are the only ones that popped with a console that make money from the start. lol.

I suppose my ps3 will wait at least till july then!
