My wiikey, tri-wing and enough AVG-30 wire came in 7 days from eurasia.nu for $50 (U.S.), so about £27. Took me another 7 days to build up enough courage to crack open and solder it in (wired), though. Works like a treat with PAL backups - still waiting to test with eledees, sorry elebits.

Don't buy from Wiinjamod. In addition to the large amount of time they took to send it, Wiinjamod also just stuck the legs of the chip through the receipt and bent them flat to ship it to me, as opposed to other stores which had been sending the chip in a plastic case, without needing to bend the legs. If I was soldering directly to the chip, I wouldn't complain too much about the bend legs, but I already have a socket in my Wii.

Ordered wiikey on sunday, and after the details were sent, it came up with an erorr, and nothing more... Allthough the $$$ was taken out of the bank account, hopefully the goods get sent

Its now friday, and nothing has came

EDIT: It was a public holiday when we ordered, would that have anything to do with it?

I've had nothing but good experiences with acegamestore. Have you picked up the phone and spoke to them?
I've called them twice, once enquiring about product availability and once checking on an order and both times I was helped immediately and thoroughly.
Hope it is all well, the error is definitely worth checking on though. Perhaps the payment info went through but your order details didn't..?
Anyway, keep us informed on how they deal with it.
Good luck.

Anyone know the average time it takes for Eurasia to ship to the US? I heard they were pretty fast but it's been a week now and it hasn't arrived yet.

Can anyone confirm if Acegamerstore sells genuine Wiikey or Clones? I ask because their name is not listed on www.wiikey.cn reseller's list.

Thanks

I placed an order with modchipstore.com for my wiikey last Wednesday using DHL Overnight AM shipping. It's Sunday now and I still have no chip, and they wont return any emails either. So not everyone gets good service with modchipstore.com. I'm now looking for a different place to buy my wiikey from.

    They passed a city ordinance last month. No smoking cannabis in public. Not even eating gummies. $300 fine and misdemeanor charge if caught. People can walk down the street smoking cigs and tossing the butts all over, but God forbit someone take a couple puffs of their medication.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    A Trump win is certainly a possibility. If he's reelected, 4 more years then no one has to worry about him being president ever again. I survived last time, I'll survive it if there's a next time. Don't know how anyone could vote for the guy, but I'm also not anyone else but me.
