Xecuter Wiip v2 Announced
Open source, feature rich chip
Team Xecuter has announced a new Wii modchip codenamed 'Wiip v2'. The announcement says the chip will be stable and feature rich due to the 8k Flash upgrade space. Two of the biggest draws of the chip is that the chip will be open source and will transparently involve the community in its development and that the chip will be priced competitively so that there will be no hassle from clone chips.
Team Xecuter said:We are sure that this will be THE definitive Wii Mod Project. We are not interested in working overtime to protect against clones or hiding developments in fear of those who want to make a fast buck on our work. If people want to do that they will do it, the only thing that stops them is if the official product is high quality with great support and is smartly priced. The issue at hand here is to make a rock solid Wii mod that will once again have input from the community so YOU can play a role in its development (or not - where you can simply use the latest updates as a complete package as and when they are released).
