Here are some more of my installs.

how do you get the wires to sit so flat?

and could you provide a link to that wiring diagram , the ones on the d2ckey site have all the wires going to the one chip , your method seems much better, and cleaner.

Are you guys using 30 AWG cables? or smaller AWG? Don't want to get started to fine out tha the 30 AWG is too thin. Thanks

Another D2CKey

I have so experience soldering or dealing w/ wires but I'm thinking about modding my wii. I was wondering how some installs have such perfectly aligned wires rather than just having them go every which way individually. I'm talking about the kind of "ribbons" you could call them, of wire that some installs have that look really good.

It just takes time to run the wires like that. I don't use any type of ribbon cable, each wire is individually connected then run together. I have a few more pictures of my D2CKey installs I can post in a few.

Thanks for the response.

I was also wondering...I've seen a lot of install pictures on the internet and read a lot of tutorials for installing modchips and I'm seriously considering trying my hand at the Wii. For most of these tutorials and pictures they use 30 awg wires for the connections to and from the chip, but some use different wiring for the ground and "vcc" connections I believe they're called. Is this necessary and, if so, what size of wiring is most appropriate then?

I used kynar 30 awg for all connections and its worked fine for me. I got a couple feet of kynar wire from ebay (fast and easy). With a little practice soldering is easy (looks difficult, but simple once you practice a little). Good luck.

here's the first one I did, I didnj't like the way the wires were overlapping though.

this was my 2nd install.

whiteblazer set the standard so I wanted to try to copy his.

Impressive installs guys, remind me of the PS2s I used to mod.. some great work

Great lookin pics guys. I attempted a PS2 once...

Got as far as looking at the wires and circuts through the magnifier thing and was like F That.

On that note, any of you doing Wii chip installs in the Tacoma/Seattle area in WA State? Shoot me a PM, or an email: [email protected].
