Hardware CycloWiz Set-Up

[Platinum*]

Just got the CycloWiz, had it installed. The solder was a bit smudged when quick soldering (the 4 little squares! -.-) but it seemed fine after a few tweaking. Everything was put back together with a few insignificant screws still out of place.

I turned on the Wii but nothing seemed unordinary, but that's the problem. I know the CycloWiz is supposed to be as "transparent as possible", but shouldn't it at least have a welcoming message or something? No games burned, I coudn't test if it worked or not, and the thing didn't even come with the switch for the upgrade. T-T

Can anyone determine if this is natural? No setup or anything!? It really bugs me. I just know* something was done wrong.

Anyone wanna answer? O_O'
(Sorry for double post)

My games are almost done download so I'll be able to test with the games soon. If it doesnt work, can someone gimme advice on what's wrong?

Is is supposed to say something? I know the Wiikeys don't say anything, the only way to find out is to pop in a backup.

I'm pretty sure there is no extra flash screen when installing a modchip. Try using a Cyclowiz Setup Disc (if there is one). That will tell you if it's working or not.

It's a drivechip, so there's no way for it to display anything on your screen.

All it does is sit between the DVD ROM and the Wii, changing a flag so the Wii thinks it's not pirated (usually, some modchips do it differently)

Ah yes. I learned that much. All it does it trick the system into thinking the dvd discs are wii ones or whatever. I just wanted a confirmation because I tried searching up if the CycloWiz set-up, well, existed and no results. It kind of gave me the fright. I expected at least a welcoming message or something seeing as the CycloWiz I got only came with a Tri-Wing screwdriver plus the chip in it's small packet within bubble wrap. No manual or anything.

Now I just have to wait for stupid torrents...
Thanks everyone ^-^'
