Damn that was quick.......

Though it is a bit dissapointing if it only allows the wii to play backups. I spose its one step at a time....

Yeah, that totally sucks.

"suck" would mean no development going on at all.

It looks like a 555 timer with a sticker on top.

I suppose it could be a PLD though, either way I sold my Wii so it isnt a huge issue

Right, cause there are only two components that are made in 8 Pin DIP ? (There are millions)

It could be ANYTHING. A Micro, an opAmp, dual transistors, it could be a voltage regulator, ANYTHING. But if its real (and I hope it is) its probably a micro.

Probably a pic, probably require an internal oscillator (less its pulling from an exisiting clock on the wii), the 5 pins being hooked up and since it doesn't show any cutting of traces on the wii-pcb, I'm guessing its modifying an SPI or I2C or other bus message. Almost certainly something TTL.



Whats good is that IF it is real, then it will definitely be copied and there might be a homebrew version avail. At the very least it will be released by someone with a better explanation of what it is.

TESTED MEDIAS :

TDK DVD-R --> 16x -- PERFECT
XTRA DVD-R -> 8x -- PERFECT
IMATION DVD-R --> 16x -- PERFECT
VERBATIM DVD-R --> 16x -- PERFECT
VERBATIM DVD+R --> 4x -- PERFECT (Burn it like
EMTEC DVD-R -->> 4x -- Produces DRE on WII and Gamecube Modes
PLEOMAX DVD-R --> 16x -- PERFECT

I still do not see how or with what you make backups with.

There seems to be another modchip http://www.modchipma...hip-p-1556.html

This one claims:
- Quicksolder (no wires required)
- Plays Wii Backups
- Plays GC Backups
- Play GC Homebrew
- Play GC Imports (swap needed)
- Built-in Audiofix (GC games using streaming are working flawlessly, no patch needed)
- DVD-R / DVD+R support
- Optional chip disable wire
- Stealth even when chip is enabled
- Multi-purpose LED

Max Console has also apparently received a beta CycloWiz chip and confirmed it's validity.

Team Wiinja is claiming it's a rip of their chip and that someone stole some of their beta chips  

let the modchip bitch-fest begin

CycloWiz looks a lot more professional, it certainly has more features and an easier install.

I'm just hoping that they're based on PIC or Atmel chips so I can snag the code and flash my own chips.  

I can't find the thread but there was one posted here a little while back where someone was talking about the Wii's security.

Basically it's nearly idential to the Gamecube, they changed the backdoor password from uppercase to lowercase, change the shape of the connector and the discs are signed such that running modified code is no longer possible without a more invasive hack.

These chips are probably near identical to the GC chips it's just the security differences that prevent us from running alternate regions, homebrew, or modified games.

with a special lg dvd reader(only 15-20 dollars) and the tool dvd info or something used with a special program called rawdump it toke 50 hours indeed, with new version it takes 10 hours

The latest version of Rawdump does not require DVDInfo to be running in the background.  Solutions are being worked on to dump the discs faster.
