Team Cyclops releases first CycloWiz upgrade
Team Cyclops, the people behind the CycloWiz modchip for Nintendo’s Wii videogame console, have just released the first upgrade for their upgradeable modchip. The upgrade includes a special version of GCOS that allows users to run Gamecube Multi Game discs. This special version is fully compatible with the old Viper format.
As for which switch to use, Team Cyclops says that “any toggle switch should do the job, as well as push buttons that don’t need to be held.” The next batch of CycloWiz modchips will also include a switch so users won’t need to buy one separately. Here are a few more notes from Team Cyclops regarding the upgrade:
- If you turn off your console during the welcome screen or switch test screens, make sure it is in deep sleep mode for at lest 10 seconds, it won’t recognise discs until you do it. If you have any doubts, unplug the console for 10 seconds.
- If you get stuck in a Programming – Verifying loop for more than 10 cycles, it is likely that there is an installation problem with the S wire. You have to turn off the console to fix this, but make sure you never turn it off before trying at least a dozen cycles. We got two reports of this behaviour and it was fixed both times.
- Make sure the switch pads are not in contact with any metal part of the Wii, including shielding. If there is such a short circuit, the fuse next to the X point can blow and drive won’t spin or eject anymore until you fix the fuse.
