    Homebrew WiFi suddenly stops working in HB apps

    Not sure if it's the same issue. I run a Linksys WRT54G v6 with DD-WRT mini with WPA2/PSK. I installed HBC two months ago and never had an issue until just this last week, when the homebrew networking all stopped working.

    Homebrew WiFi suddenly stops working in HB apps

    Running 3.1U and HBC 1.0.3. My setup has been running for months. Suddenly, this week, HBC apps (including Homebrew Browser) will not connect to the Internet. The Wii network works, and I could successfully perform a test (then it asks for an update, which I decline). When in HBC and hit the...

    Hardware Wii *chip retailers, prices and reviews

    A positive review for ModChipCentral and Sylvester there. After many days of deliberations and no responses from some sketchy sites, I placed an order with MCC for a WiiKey v1 (this was before the v2) pre-soldered onto a WiiClip. Order was filed promptly, and a week later I had my chip. I...

    Hardware Just installed WiiKey v1 in D2B, doesn't work

    A big to Sylvester at ModChipCentral. The chip was defective and he sent out a new chip. I paid a bit more and picked up a D2pro9 v3, presoldered to clip. Received it in late last week, hope to get it installed this weekend, if I can tear myself away from the Xbox (Play from hdd has made it...

    Hardware Just installed WiiKey v1 in D2B, doesn't work

    Give me a little credit, I've been in IT for near 20 years These Verbatims are mirror finished tops. Silver mirror on top, blue dye on bottom. If it was upside down "Verbatim" would be flipped. As far as soldering, some people are just unable to solder, for whatever reasons. I would say...

    Hardware Just installed WiiKey v1 in D2B, doesn't work

    Thanks for the response Modchipcentral, I received an email this morning, too. I'll respond back to that, but I'll post some pictures here just in case I'm doing something wrong. The bottom of the WiiClip looks good. All seemed lined up. On one side, the pins seem to come forward out of...

    Hardware Just installed WiiKey v1 in D2B, doesn't work

    WiiKey v1 works on everything before D2C, from everything that I've gathered. D2A, D2B, DMS.

    Hardware Just installed WiiKey v1 in D2B, doesn't work

    D2B with uncut legs, firmware 3.1U, purchased WiiKey v1 on WiiClip, presoldered. Actually bought it one day before the WiiKey 2 was announced Just arrived today, installation went straight forward, clip is firmly seated on chip. Wii starts and plays originals fine. Downloaded 1.4 Config...

    Hardware Chip sellers that solder onto clips?

    Thanks for the suggestions. This is going to be just a temporary mod, so I don't want to make provisions for a serial cable I ended up placing an order with modchipcentral. WiiKey w/ clip and screwdriver, soldered for $55 shipped - not a bad deal.

    Excellent! Thank you.

    Hardware Chip sellers that solder onto clips?

    As someone unable to solder, I'm greatly interested in finding a vendor that can solder a chip to a wii-clip for purchase. I have an old D2B, so even a WiiKey would work. However, the only shop I found that does this is FoundMy, which I'm not going to chance an order from. Does anyone know...

    Hacking M3DS REAL VS M3DS SIMPLY

    I've gone from the Perfect to the Simply to the Real over the past few years. To put it bluntly, the Real sucks. I've had mine for 4 months and the interface has been wearing me down. I keep monitoring the updates to wait for them to make it better, but they're only doing game fixes. The...

    Hacking How does the M3 Real compare to the M3 Simply?

    I think I may be on the verge of trading the Real to go back to a Simply. I wasn't aware of GBA emulators for the Simply, which would've made things much better. The horrendously slow menu system is driving me batty, plus one ROM that won't load past the second stage on the Real (but will on...
