Just got my wii today

Unfortunately my serial number is LEH 1103xxxx... Not on the list, but looking at the trends, I don't think it will be compatible with the Wiinja

Oh well... Just got to wait for updated/next gen modchips

LU108xxxxxxx bought last week in UK......... wahoooooooo !

It may be helpful to also include the last digit (the one in the box) of your serial as well.

I received the Nintendo driver I bought from eBay($5.50) yesterday.
My Wii Bought on Dec 23rd, 2006. (serial# LU 505XXXXXX) has a DMS chipset.

Although I don't think it matters anymore with the newer chips all supporting D2B...

Purchase date: February 6th, 2007
Serial: LU5081xxxxxx
Chipset: GC2-D2B

 

[lookout]

I brought my wii on the launch~day so I must have GC2 - DMS or GC2R - D2A..

LU 306XXXXX

Ordering a mod chip soon..

I have an LU306 as well, bought mine on Sunday from Target. I'd wait to but one that's compatible with the second chip, just in case, as we don't know if this list for sure identifies if a Wii has a certain chip.

Yeah, I pre-ordered the Wiikey from modchipstore.com..

Hopefully that will cover all my bases, as I haven't opened the case yet (no tri-wing)..

Finally cracked my case in anticipation of my Wiikey being delivered in a couple days.

My chipset is GC2-DMS

Today, I've launched a new Wii Drive Database website, the address is http://www.wiidrives.com/

The site will hopefully make it easier to identify the DVD drive chip (current and latest) models without having to open the console, by simply looking up the serial number.

Currently, there are only entries from PAL/european consoles in the database but I hope that as many as possible will contribute and add their details. Over time it will become more accurate and the value of the site will increase.

I know, there's already a site available by Nintendo-Scene that works like this and it does a good job. The issues I have with it though is that I think it's not up to date (D2C2/D2E is not supported) and it's not providing the details and flexibility I want out of a tracker.

Anyway, please visit the site, add your details, and let me know what you think.
