WiiClip FTW. I have a D2C board, and am using D2Pro with WiiClip and it worked perfectly! No problems yet, only took 10 minutes to install.

Were your legs cut? I also have a D2C board and I want to get a wii clip but my legs are cut. If I get the wii clip, do I have to solder the 3 legs?

I'm getting a Wii-clip v3 pre-soldered with a wiikey on it. Hopefully that's easy enough for an idiot like me!

Well ive quicksoldered my own WiiKey on my D2B Wii.

Its all working 100% and the quicksolder install was VERY easy.

Remember to do it this way:

First apply solder iron to the solder points also the small points on the side of the wiikey. Put a little top on the top solder points.

The rest is easy. put some solder iron to the drives solder pads then align the wiikey to the points. Apple heat to the wii's solder points and enjoy

I remember modding my first console. It was a Gamecube and it was done with a really unsuitable soldering iron.

I can still remember when I had to mod my Slimline PS2. I think what I did was open the console up, stare at the points and make a mental note of how really, REALLY tiny it was for the points, went to bed, did it again for the next day and just basically psyching myself up to imagine that the points are double the size.

In the end, I spent something like 4 hours installing a modchip and it still works to this day. I certainly tip my hat off to those that do this for a living and was glad I paid to have my original Xbox modded.

Listen to the man itt who said to tin both the points and wires beforehand. IT makes the whole process much easier.

Now I know exactly what to look for when I actually get around to soldering my D2C chipped Wii. Though I might go with WiiClip to make things easier for me..D2Pro and WiiClip here I come

I think you're being too hard on yourself. It's working and doesn't look that bad. I do agree with your advice: once you see the size of the solder points firsthand, don't proceed unless you are confident in your abilities.

Mine is coming in the mail with a WiiKey I am kinda nervous but hopefully I can do it without harm to my Wii. I am just afraid of taking wires and shit out my Wii.
