Hacking key-clip

[djg08642]

I'm at a loss. I got a key-clip to install in my friend's Wii and can't program the thing for the life of me. I've tried every possible way to get the thing to work with the WesTek's autoprogrammer. I've wiggled the thing back and forth for hours and can't get anything. Sometimes, I'll go in device manager, and right click the port and "check for hardware changed" or something like that and the LED on the programmer will turn on. It'll blink every time I send a signal to it from command prompt but it never says it worked properly. I always get

avrdude: AVR device not responding
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1

blah blah blah.

What are peoples' exact settings in their BIOS and device manager? I have ECP/EPP set for sure. Should I have "Enable legacy Plug and Play detection" checked in device manager?

Thanks

I'm using a usb to parallel cable because neither I nor anyone I know has a computer that outdated crap on it. I have the exact same problem and everywhere I've looked people just ignore that. I've wasted a lot of money and time on this and I'd love to see a solution. I guess, why should they care? They've taken our money...

can i ask where people are ording there key-clips from?

p.s if any of those people who have no parrallel ports and are frsutrated want to sell their key-clips to me, pm me!

got mine from www.chipspain.com

But still pointless because they don't work. Buy something that works.

volumerate now has the key-clip, just ordered mine for 26.02!

got my V4 at 15 USD. but i also bought other things, and paid another 22 for EMS. But only adding more items can get lower average price, right?

hehe.
