Ive search for a comparison chart for wii chips, the only chart I found was for slot-1 for the DS.
Can someone with the knowledge do a similar one for wii or point me in the right direction.
the gbatemp chart is not up to date AFAIK on cyclowiz .. i believe the 3.0b update fixed the read speed, so the "speed fix" category should be green. I'm undecided between cyclo and wiinja deluxe, but i think both get the job done, just with different pros and cons. The wiikey is just an update away (audiofix) from being a notch above, but then again I'm just 6 inches away form being John Holmes.
Well, hurry up getting that Wii, worry about modchip later. As new Wii's has reached the market with the 3 necessary pins cut on the DVD controller chip you definitely want one that has them intact. While they are still moddable, it's a bit trickier. Haven't heard of anyone getting a Wii with legs cut in europe yet but in both the US and Japan they've started shipping them.
