Wiikey: first and only upgradable Wii modchip?

It looks like it’s modchips galore for Wii users ever since the first proof that it can be done came out. After that, it felt like all the devs were having an impromptu competition to see who’ll come up with the best one. Team Ninja has their Wiinja mod chip, but online site MaxConsole believes that TeamCyclops’ Cyclowiz is by far better.

Anyway, we found another one today, and it seems that this particular modchip might eclipse that of TeamCyclops. It’s called Wiikey and according to its devs, it is the first and only upgradable modchip to date. We looked around to know who’s responsible for this creation, but its devs are rather elusive. If we are not mistaken, however, it was created by the same group who came up with GameCube’s XenoGC.

The devs also mentioned that they will upload their site with pictures and more features within the next few days. Expected shipping date, if things push through, is February 7.

Specifications:

• Fully upgradable via DVD/disc (future proof, expect cool features to come)
• Direct boot of Wii backups (like originals)
• Direct boot of GC backups (like originals)
• Boots different region GC games/backups
• Boots different NTSC region Wii games/backups
• Supports multi-disc games
• Supports DVD-R and DVD+R
• Built-in audio fix (for games using streaming, no patch required)
• Stealth mode
• 4 wires & quick solder interface
• Compact design, best quality components, rock solid high speed controller
• Professional ESD packing
