$125 AUD approx $100 USD...that's a freaking ripoff. find some other guy to do it for you.

Here's a nice review and install guide for the Wiid.

IT basically a PIC with quick install points on it right?

So basically it's nothing more than a rip of open source codes?

QUOTE.....The Wiid chip surprised me in a pleasant way. Although it has some flaws such as those with the quicksolder pads not also being on the side of the PCB, it performs as you would expect from a current Wii mod-chip. All DVD's I used (including rewritables), the update feature and the region patching (even with rewritables from both – and + R) worked correctly/as expected.....

I have a PAL Wii btw (also stated in the review, but just in case

).

just installed a wiid in my console it is great i installed it with wires i didnt do the quick solder every backup i have tried works and all the multi game game cube collection discs are all working perfect so far im extremely happy with it

Saw my first WiiD chip yesterday here in Texas. It's just a 12F pic in a surface mount package on a board. Works the same as all the opensource chips.

WiiD is nothing more than Wiinja Deluxe on a PCB. Divineo even ripped off his config discs.

 

[Farami9]

so does that mean I can run open source updates like freewii/wiifree?

 

[iamwhoiam]

If you can get to the pins yes... but it's surface mounted

Where abouts are you Farami9? I see a USA flag but you are talking $AU.
I do installs for $50 AU +$10 for an open source chip of choice or bring your own commercial/OS chip.
And I do installs for $30 AU for GBAtemp members.
Not trying to suggest that you use me in particular just giving you an idea of other pricing. That guy sounds expensive.

I'd say this new standard he speaks of is really just 'I can buy these chips for half the price of WiiKey and still charge the same'.

To program the chip to a WiiFree or YAOSM or even Wiinja or OpenWii code is certainly possible but you would likely have to solder some wires to the legs of the chip and connect those to a programmer.
I have done this with the surface mount PIC chips not soldered to a PCB but it wouldn't make much of a difference.
None of the open source PIC based mods support DVD upgrade though.

Nice prices but I am currently in WA.........

What if I send my system in?
