    Hacking Is there a reason for burning at low speeds?

    I wouldn't lie - I burned around 20 "backups" at full speed, GC and Wii, because the first one worked I assumed all would. Only 3 out of 20 worked. That was burned at 16x speed, Verbatin, Pioneer 111D standard firmware. Using the exact same disks, burner and images, all work 100% with no DRE...

    Hacking Is there a reason for burning at low speeds?

    I was using Verbatims and burning at full speed and got loads of DRE's on my Wiinja v1. After reading the forums I thought it was because of the chip, and being the impetuous chap I am, forthwith ordered a v2. Using same media, burned at 4x every Wii and GC backup works 100% with no DRE...

    Hacking QuickSolder = 100x Easier than Wires

    The main problem I have when desoldering (mainly faulty chips) from PCB's is the little circle of metal on the PCB can come off if you're not careful. Don't know how many wire mods I've had to make from chip leg to destination due to this done by me and others Surface mount I never really did...

    Hacking Chiip Opensource Modchip

    Happy to see that there is open source chip available Let's hope that the current "mod-chip" developers now realise that to make money they will need more than just DVD+firmware hack and maybe we'll see a real mod-chip some time soon for the Wii

    Hacking Disc Read Errors...

    Well, I've decided to bite the bullet and order a v2 as well Seems like it will solve my DRE's from what I've read. I'm basing this on the evidence I've not seen rather than the evidence that I have, to wit there doesn't seem to be a slew of postings along the lines of "I've just installed...

    Hacking Wiikey site updated!

    Exactly right. I ordered a Wiinja (what can I say, I'm impulsive ) and now I'm stuck with a useless modchip in my Wii that at some point I'll need to buy another and replace. I wish that Wiinja had fully tested the chip but I can understand their rush to get it out, and to be honest I knew the...

    Hacking Disc Read Errors...

    Nope, the tiny ohmage difference won't make any difference to the current. Getting loads of DRE's on my Wiinja v1 to the point it's unusable - continunually getting up to eject/insert disks isn't fun, just using originals til things get sorted out. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, and using it...

    Hacking DRE's A Thing Of The Past?

    I have a v1 Wiinja and I get plenty DRE errors on some games, none on others. Strange thing is, there is nothing wrong with the way the disc is burned, as I get the DRE message, take the disc out, put it in again, and it works fine. If that part of the disc had an error, putting it in again...

    New Wii Modchip: WI-IC

    Well, that's the DVD-firmware market saturated now - let's hope we see a race for a real mod-chip start Hard to see what other features can be added to a firmware mod chip. Doubt region free will ever be done by spoofing a handshake (or however it is done) from the DVD. BTW, you shouldn't be...

    Hacking Cyclowiz to support Wii imports

    Same as the other chips then. Also, "(*) While adding a swap-free import feature would have been trivial, the chip could be easily detected then. It was decided that beeing stealth was more important, so using a boot disc is required." This would go for PAL/NTSC Wii titles as well, and with...

    Hacking Wiinja manufacturing problem on 7th / 8th Feb?

    I know Portuguese because I married a Brazilian (I also worked there for a year) and I learned from speaking with her - that's why I don't know any Spanish words and the reason why I translated so badly. Sorry for anyone I spooked, if I can figure out how, I'll change the topic now.

    Hacking Wiinja manufacturing problem on 7th / 8th Feb?

    Looks like my translating was bad then Seems that reading that translation that they just lost the orders from their system, so nothing to worry about.

    Hacking Wiinja manufacturing problem on 7th / 8th Feb?

    Just got this email from Futura Videjuegos who I ordered a Wiinja from on 2nd February - came on the 7th, so I'm good. I don't speak Spanish, but do speak Portuguese, and from what I can make of it, people who ordered Wiinja's that were manufactured on 7th and 8th February shouldn't install...

    Hacking How do you burn WII Games?

    I just joined today, seeing as how I just got a Wiinja chip and this site seems to be best Wii scene-related site going. Just wondering, the "Do not talk about warez, where to get it, how you get yours, etc" page long disclaimer I signed at the start, I take it that it's lip service only then...

    Hacking Wiikey drivechip from xenogc

    Sorry if I caused confustion. When I mentioned the other chip sets what I meant that if you bought this one at least there is a chance that it may work in the future via an update, whereas the current Wiinja's and Cyclone will never work. Hopefully someone already has managed to generate a...

    Hacking Wiikey drivechip from xenogc

    I'm fitting my Wiinja tonight, not too bothered to have missed out on the "updateability" of this chip. Have an x-box 360 too (Hitachi) and if you look at how much development has been made on the 360 firmware in the last year (basically just the ability for Sammy owners to play x-box 1 backups...
