Today I received my Wiikey from cheapmod (official reseller).
To my surprise I saw that the chip is an ATMEGA8L !!!
Remember this chip? The same is used for the open source Chiip.
Also, the Wiip, another open source modchip, is based on AT90S2313 which has more or less the same functions.
What all these means?
That if you have the slightest experience with electronics, go for open source modchips, since they have more frequent updates and because whatever features the Wiikey has, the open source modchips can certainly have them in the near future since they are based on the same chip.
The funny thing is that I've built the Wiip several days ago, but wanted to try this Wiikey because everyone said that it is the best of the best.....
Since Wiikey is an ATMEGA8L, it is just a matter of time to dump its code and use it to the open source modchips.
I feel I wasted my money......
