Can I flash a wiikey with YAOSM via DVD?

 

[Diffusion]

No, you can't.

Wiikey uses the ATmega8; YAOSM uses PICs.

So if I were to get this:

I just have to program it with YAOSM with the programmer and use the little thing that is the on the acual clip as a modchip?

EDIT: Does that need soldering?

Yes.

You'll need a computer with a serial port, and a mini-USB cable to give the programmer some power.

No soldering at all.

I have both of those, but on the site, it says to use YAOSM i need to solder 5 pins or something as seen on :

http://www.wii-clip.com/FREE-CLIP.htm

That's the original YAOSM-diagram. You would have to use this if you were to use a normal pic. With the Free-clip there is no soldering involved (except maybe to remove your wiikey / you can't use both chips at once). The wii-clip site really is unclear in this point...

I have already removed the wiikey but what do you mean by the original yaosm diagram? The newer version doesnt require those pins anymore?

 

[Slowking]

The PIC is includet in the Feeclip, as seen here: http://www.wii-clip.com/images/FREE-Clip-01.jpg
So you don't have to solder the PIC anywhere, as you would normally have to do without the Free-Clip, that's what I meant.

You just need to flash the newest YAOSM two LED hex for the 12F683 on it, put the free-clip on your drive-controller and you are done.

Btw. if I may ask. Why did you get rid of your Wiikey? I mean YAOSM is the better chip, no doubt about that, but if you have a working chip why get a new one?

 

[Framework43]

Thank you for the answers! I'm going to buy one soon ^-^
Slowking, could you write me a n00bish tutorial if you have time, that would be nice ^^
Like the programs and things I need to use to flash it

My cousion really wanted a modchip so since YAOSM is better I thought, i would give him my wiikey, and ill buy a cheaper modchip like a free clip

Theres no PIC 12F683 with that pack by the looks of it,its just the clip for a PIC 12F683 & the programmer,you would need to get hold of the PIC (there dirt cheap probably about $1 tops) and you would have to solder it to the clip.The original diagram is for the solder points that you would use if you didnt have a clip http://nintendo-scene.com/wp-content/uploa...m_schematic.jpg

Ah ok that makes sense. ^^

Really good tutorials (and the hex you need) can be found in the official YAOSM board over at wiinewz.com . Sadly they are down at the moment but I'm sure they are back up before your chip arrives.

Don't confuse him. The 12F683 is in the Clip, as seen here: http://www.wii-clip.com/images/FREE-Clip-01.jpg

 

[apcarr]

Look @ the pack he's linked to before saying that,there's no PIC with it.

I bought a free-clip from DX before, there's a PIC in there.

It actually says that there is a 12F683 includet and that it's blank...

DealextremeImportant DIY Product Note: this is an empty/blank 12F683 programmable microcontroller.

Yes your right sorry didnt see that part.

Turns out I dont have a serial port , i thought i had one but I just rechecked, can I use this?:

[Slowking]

probably not. The programmers won't work with those converters most of the time.
If you want to program YAOSM you need to find a computer with a serial port. Aren't there any old computers around in your house?

Yeah, the computer Im using is pretty old but my ports thing looks like this:

I got great news! I do have a serial port but it was covered all this time XP
