Hacking D2B cut pins, which WiiClip

[elsocplayer]

So I was gonna get a chip with the clip installation today. Unfortunately the guy only had chips that would work for other wii chips except for the D2B with the cut pins. I've been searching around and came to a decision to buy the wasabi v3 with v5 wiiclip or the D2PRO9 with WiiClip v4C. Which ones do guys think is the easiest and safest to work with? and secondly which stores do you recommend to buy from in U.S.A?

D2Pro - it'll be totally solderless.

Wasabi v3 can be solderless if you use a wiiclip v5b (ie, the d2sun version) - but it is a bit tricky.

The Wiikey v2 is a good option as well (and a bit cheaper). Just make sure you are clear with the buyer that you have a D2B so they can only solder the points that are needed for it.

It's worth noting that there are no points on the legs which need to be soldered for D2B - so it is a fairly easy job and may be worth just doing a wired install.

Modchip central are OK - or maybe go with OzModChips. The Australian dollar has recently taken a thrashing in the last few weeks - (ie, nearly $1 us to 60c US!), so with the exchange rate in mind, you might get a bargain buying from him.

Ok thanx for the very well explained answer. But I do have one more question since you brought it up, how reliable is the Wiikey v2? Do they sell it with the clip?

We have installed many of the Wiikey2 with no issues currently.

We sell it with the V4C Wiiclip as well. www.ModchipCentral.com

Alright sounds good. I was checking for it and I emailed you guys about the one I saw in your website but you pretty much already answered that emailed for me. Thanx .
One last question and sorry to be such bother, I updated to the new 3.3 last week, would that cause any problem as far as compatability with the chip?

Nope... just that you can't use discs that are Trucha Signed.

Alright, thanx a bunch guys. I think I'm gonna go with the wiikey2.
