[QUOTE="WarmWoollySheep, post: 556304, member: 44807"] Please note I am not speaking for Gbatemp, Wiili, dcemu or any other site. If you want to copy this post feel free. I ignored people who said "Maxconsole is being paid off, they're lying!" I gave Maxconsole the benefit of the doubt for the last few weeks, I just thought they were being a bit sensationalist. But after today, when I saw their latest blatant advertisement disguised as news, I put it all together: (keep in mind the Wiinja and Cyclowiz have announced nearly identical features, but the modchip "war" isn't what this is about. I don't care as I won't be buying either Wiinja, Cyclowiz, Wiikey or any other chip for a few more months. This is about Maxconsole and their yellow journalism.) --------- [b] #1 - Maxconsole was the first site to post news of the Cyclowiz.

Here are some choice quotes from the review: - Referring to gamecube audio streaming. Wiinja has confirmed that their chip will play GC audio as well - every chip will.
