I have cyclowiz v2 installed on my wii.
It's one of the launch versions so I didn't need to cut any legs or install 50 wires.
Problems that I encountered.
I couldn't get the switch to work even if my life depended on it.
Result, no super mario galaxy and cool nintendo games that came afterward.
Well, my wife has been bugging the crap out of me to do something about it so I guess I will for x-mas.
Which chip should I get?
One that I don't have to get the switch for. (god knows I hate them by now.)
Chip that is somewhat updated so that I don't have to worry about updating for a while.
Any input will be appreciated.

Moved to help.
Alright... WNB here would say D2Pro V9...
thats a good chip,yes.
But there is this new Wiikey 2 which looks promising..
but you are on the old version of Wii... just get a Wiikey. Easy no hassel install, no shorts required, 6 solder points, works with all current games. Wiikey+Clip and you are set (As long you dont have a D2B with cut legs). Oh and the Wiikey is fairly cheap compared to those other chips. I believe you can get a Wiikey v1 for around $20 and with a clip presoldered on, i believe something like $40 or so.

yep I would normally suggest that you get a D2Pro ![]()
but on this occasion I'm going to agree with KWG

haha i win. I told you WNB here would say D2Pro lol.
but yeah i would go with my suggestion.

But I did agree with you on using the Wiikey

what's ths clip thing on wiikey?
Offline
Its the Wiikey soldered onto the V3 Clip which will go on DMS/D2A/D2B (Non cut pins) boards. One of the easiest chip/clip combos to use.

Offline
how did you attempt to install the switch anyways? I mean, i see your point in wanting a new chip but since you already have one installed, just get the switch working and update the firmware
Offline
i tried everything man, not working... I HAD ISSUES WITH THAT FOR 2 YEARS lol.
I will probably get this wiikey for my wife's xmas gift lol.
Offline
lol nice Siptang. Well the Wiikey is a nice chip and there is good support here for it.

What is this clip thing that kwg is talking about?
I found a wiikey using the site you have provided but wasn't able to find a clip thing...

edit. silly me...
I found the clip combo.
http://www.modchipcentral.com/store/Wii … -p-12.html
but it still didn't answer my initial question. With this clip, I know I don't have to solder anything but does this mean that I don't need to solder any switches or anything of sort? Will I be able to just upgrade via dvd with this? Any input will be appreciated.

install... no soldering... no switches...
the only thing you will need is the update disc (1.9s) via dvd and update it.. voila.. done
Offline
That sounds simple enough. Thanks guys.

keep in mind though... on the site.. you MUST choose the option to have them solder the chip onto the clip for you for an extra 5 bucks.. or itll come separately
Offline
yea, i saw that. I'll pay that 5 cause i'm lazy. I do 50+ soldering a day at work and don't feel like doing them at home.. xp
Offline
I never use a clip, even though I done it for a living I actually enjoy soldering.

Offline
i want to improve my soldering skills.
the cilp is the easy way out now to use modchips.

Offline
do you have to have a modded wii to run emulators( sorry if dumb ?)
Offline
Its has to be soft modded which can be done with aoriginal copy of Twilight Princess and a SD card, follow the link below

Quick question again before I purchase.
Switch is there to disable the chip before the update.
How will the clip work same way? I don't get it.
I heard that it comes with 1.9b and I'm thinking about to update to your recommendation of 1.9s.
I just don't want to run into the problems that I did with the cyclowiz. (that's the main reason of purchasing this chip anyhow.)
King, what chip are you using?
Offline
KinG is using a Wiikey.
I am using a Wiikey.
Also the Wiikey is not like the clycowiz where you need a switch to install an update. All you do is burn the update to a dvd, pop in the update dvd, run it and follow the instructions. It should install without any problems.

wait then I really don't need the clip do i? I can just buy the chip and install the 5 quick solder points and that's it?
