Hardware Wii *chip retailers, prices and reviews

[REKiEM]

Tuconsola.com is trustworthy AFAIK.

Futura-Online is so-so, some people had problems with it in the past. My advice is to avoid it.

Dont know anything about techworld (first time I've heard it).

Good luck.

http://www.futura-online.com is one of the most reliable store in Spain. Is the first official store selling wiinja. Cheap Worldwide shipping. 100% recommended

Hey guys, looks like the site http://www.ptchip.com/ will also be selling the chip when they arrive in stock. Price now is 40.00EUR

I don't know anything about this site, so I don't know how trusty they are but I'd figure I'd throw this out there. Someone might be able to shed some light on the place.

Also, anyone know when GBAtemp is going to post their review of this chip? I heard rumors that it will be today but I don't know the time. I was kinda hoping to read i before I get ready for work.

I'm sure ASAP. One was being sent yesterday so it well may not have arrived yet.
Don't worry, the staff know how big this is to readers. They won't keep us waiting longer than needed for the review.
Thanks for letting us know of the other retailer too.

wtf is Cyclowiz?

 

[elomaniak]

wtf is Cyclowiz?

a chip similiar to the Wiinja
but it looks better and has integrated audio fix for GC games

 

[IxthusTiger]

Is it cheaper or easier to install?

Is it cheaper or easier to install?

i have read something about 44€ in a german mod shop
so its more expensive and the install rhing is relative
some like to solder with wires and some like to solder without
but i thinks its easier
you get the chip on the right place and you can see the soldering points trough the holes in the chip platine

Just a quick update on Futura-Online.
I haven't received a reply to the email I sent 9 hours ago asking for an update.
However I did just contact them via MSN Messenger (or live messenger, whatever) at [email protected]
I spoke to someone straight away who informed me that the chip had shipped today!
They also said it will be coming via registered airmail and will need to be signed for.

I asked if they planned to sell the cyclowii and they said probably not.

So good communication via messenger at least.

CycloWiz at divineo.de

http://www.divineo.de/cgi-bin/div-de/wii-cyclowiz


i dont know if its right but the description looks for me like
the CycloWiz will play all backups no matter what region from they are.

English:

- Quicksolder (no wires required)
- Plays Wii Backups
- Plays GC Backups
- Play GC Homebrew
- Play GC Imports (swap needed)
- Built-in Audiofix (GC games using streaming are working flawlessly, no patch needed)
- DVD-R / DVD+R support
- Optional chip disable wire
- Stealth even when chip is enabled
- Multi-purpose LED

Seeing as swapping is needed for gamecube titles I think it still only plays only region locked

I'm afraid it wont mate.
That's why it only lists "Play GC Imports (swap needed)" and not 'plays Wii imports..'

Thanks, added to the list.

And no, Cyclowiz does not support Wii multi-region.

Might want to check the reseller link on wiinja.com Woolly.
Looks like they've added a few more sellers.
